Improved understanding of grouted mixture fatigue behavior under indirect tensile test configuration
ABSTRACT This paper focuses on the long-term performance of a grouted mixture, a relatively new pavement material which consists of an open grade asphalt concrete whose voids are filled with cement mortar. Its... -
From:Canadian Journal of Civil Engineering (Vol. 44, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedJoints simulating typical connections of gypsum wallboard (GWB) sheathed walls were subjected to reversed cyclic loading. Three different empirical models were analyzed for the purpose of determining the most...

From:Construction and Building Materials (Vol. 55) Peer-ReviewedGRAPHICAL ABSTRACT ABSTRACT The use of cement based composites as strain sensors have been studied by different researchers. The effect of "cross talk" for which the strain is perpendicular to electric current in...
-
From:Construction and Building Materials (Vol. 169) Peer-ReviewedABSTRACT The utilization of natural rubber latex (NRL), untreated and treated, to improve the tensile strength of cementitious mortar was studied. Two NRL samples, a commercial NRL and a laboratory-treated,...

From:Construction and Building Materials (Vol. 115) Peer-ReviewedABSTRACT This paper examines the effect of different elevated temperature environments on performance of reinforced concrete (RC) circular columns strengthened with different techniques. For this purpose, 50 RC...
-
From:Construction and Building Materials (Vol. 67) Peer-ReviewedABSTRACT The asphalt mixtures modified with crumb rubber modifier (CRM) were evaluated to estimate the deformation resistance at a high service temperature, fatigue resistance and tensile strength at ambient...
-
From:Construction and Building Materials (Vol. 71) Peer-ReviewedABSTRACT Plasma modification method was used in order to increase the performance of the hot mix asphalt. Surface of mineral filler was modified by using three different components: methylmethacrylate (MMA),...

From:Construction and Building Materials (Vol. 186) Peer-ReviewedABSTRACT Performance of fibre reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) strengthened non-ductile reinforced concrete frames with hollow concrete masonry infill (RCFMI) subjected to cyclic in-plane loading was...
-
From:Construction and Building Materials (Vol. 192) Peer-ReviewedABSTRACT In the present study, a comparison between thermo mechanically treated (TMT) and direct air cooled micro-alloyed hot rolled (MAHR) steel bar has been made in terms of microstructure, texture and mechanical...
-
From:Canadian Journal of Civil Engineering (Vol. 46, Issue 5) Peer-ReviewedIn Canada, there are different approaches to evaluate the performance of fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) for bridges based on the residual post-cracking strength index (R,). They involve different combinations of test...
