Influence of Cellulose Ethers on the Carbonation Behavior of Cement Pastes
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Cellulose ethers (CE) are generally used in cement-based materials as viscosity modifying admixtures. However, previous investigations scarcely focused on the effect of CE on the carbonation behavior of host materials. ... -
Experimental Investigation of Coal-Fouled Steel Slag Ballast–Granite Ballast Mixtures under Static and Cyclic Loading
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)The performance of coal-fouled steel slag ballast (SSB), granite ballast (GB), and 60%SSB+40%GB (SSB60) mixture were assessed using direct shear and cyclic testing apparatus. Additionally, chemical composition, mineralogical ... -
Investigation of a Novel Method to Improve the Physical Properties of Recycled Concrete Aggregate for Asphalt Mixtures: Laboratory Characterization and Mechanisms
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) often does not meet the requirements of aggregates for asphalt mixture due to the high water absorption and low strength caused by the adhered cement mortar. This study applied a novel ... -
Test Method to Evaluate the Tensile Performance of Hyperelastic Binders with Large Deformation
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Airport pavements, especially runway holding positions, are susceptible to high shear forces and thus rutting damages under the coupling effect of heavy aircraft loads and high temperatures. Pavements produced with commonly ... -
Life-Cycle Cost Analysis of Graphene Oxide Modification of a Neat Asphalt Binder for Flexible Pavement
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Graphene oxide (GO) has the potential to increase the service life of asphalt binders and asphalt mixtures, but there are concerns about its high cost. The purpose of this work is to provide a methodology to perform a ... -
Thermal Insulation Performance of Lightweight Aggregate Concrete for High-Geothermal-Temperature Highway Tunnels
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)The construction efficiency of geothermal tunnels is low, and operating lining problems occur frequently, which critically affect tunnel construction and operational safety. Traditional insulation methods primarily involve ... -
Rutting and Aging Resistance of Bitumen Modified by Polyethylene, Polypropylene, and Their Cross-Contamination
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)The use of recycled plastic in modifying bitumen has attracted considerable attention in recent years. However, uncertainties remain about the impact of polymeric cross-contamination on bitumen modification. This study ... -
Expansive Soil Treated with Circulating Fluidized Bed Ash Slag as Subgrade Fill: Engineering Performance Evaluation and Enhancement
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Expansive soil undergoes significant changes in volume due to variations in water content, which can cause expansion and contraction. The microstructure of circulating fluidized bed ash slag (CFBAS) differs from other solid ... -
Evaluation of Cement- and Water-Free Concrete Using Waste Plastic Binder (Plasticrete)
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Concrete is a ubiquitous construction material that has enabled unprecedented economic growth and development worldwide. However, the production of cement, the main binder used in concrete, contributes significantly to ... -
Fatigue and Healing Characteristics of WMA–RA Blended Binders
(American Society of Civil Engineers, 2025)Asphalt mixes prepared using warm-mix asphalt (WMA) technology have similar capabilities to hot-mix asphalt (HMA) mixes for reducing emissions and energy consumption along with on-par performance. Recycled asphalt (RA) ... -
