Evaluation of Warm Mix Additives for Use in Modified Asphalt Mixtures: Phase I
(2011)
The intention of this research effort is to evaluate the use of warm mix additives with typical polymer-modified and terminal blend tire rubber asphalt mixtures from Nevada and California. The research effort is broken ...
Assessment of Floor Accelerations in Yielding Buildings
(2011)
The large investment in nonstructural components in buildings and severe damage to these components in recent earthquakes necessitates improved design provisions for these components. The present study uses OpenSees finite ...
Develop a Laboratory Mixing Procedure For Hot Mix Asphalt Containing RAP Materials
(2011)
AbstractThe use of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) has become more prevalent with the rising costs of virgin materials and the recent push to develop more environmentally friendly and sustainable roadways. The use of RAP ...
Seismic Performance of Circular and Interlocking Spirals RC Bridge Columns Under Bidirectional Shake Table Loading
(2011)
Under seismic excitations reinforced concrete bridge columns (RCC) are subjected to combinations of forces and deformations. These complex actions are caused by spatially-complex variation of earthquake ground motions, the ...
Root-Induced Compaction and its Effects on Soil Microstructure and Soil Hydraulic Properties Using X-ray Micro-Tomography and Numerical Simulations
(2011)
Soil is a challenging environment where resources, such as water, nutrients and air, are scarce and patchy. Plants and soil microorganisms have limited ability to move toward nutrient-enriched zones, compared with animals. ...
Enhancement of Photocatalytic/Photoelectrocatalytic Properties of TiO2/TiO2-CdS on Various Substrates for Pollutant Degradation and Hydrogen Production
(2011)
Abstract A surge in semiconductor research for a multitude of uses has taken place over the last few decades. Due to their unique band gap properties, semiconductors provide a material of multivariate use. ...
Environmental Fate of Trenbolone Acetate Used in Animal Agriculture: Mechanistic Studies of Hormone Biodegradation in Various Redox Conditions
(2011)
Recent studies have been reported that natural and synthetic hormones are major endocrine-disrupting contaminants (EDCs) that can cause contaminant-associated reproductive and developmental alternation on aquatic organisms. ...
Designing Cold Mix Asphalt (CMA) and Cold-In-Place Recycling (CIR) using SUPERPAVE Gyratory Compactor
(2011)
The purpose of this research was to develop a performance related mix design procedure for both cold mix asphalt (CMA) and cold-in-place Recycling (CIR) using the Superpave Gyratory compactor (SGC) and evaluate the ...
Mechanistic Properties of Field and Laboratory-Produced Warm Mix Asphalt Mixtures from Manitoba, Canada
(2011)
Warm Mix Asphalt is a generic term that refers to a specific group of technologies used to produce asphalt paving mixtures at lower temperatures than traditional Hot Mix Asphalt. There are many WMA technologies being used, ...
Development of Pavement Performance Evaluation Subroutines for 3D-Move Analysis Software
(2011)
Predicting the pavement performance of existing and new asphalt concrete (AC) pavements is an important and significant task of pavement engineers. It is important to quantifying the factors (material properties, environmental ...
