Rheological evaluation of shortand long-term performance for warm mix asphalt (WMA) binders
(
Kluwer Academic Publishers
, 2016 , Article)
Warm-mix asphalt (WMA) additives are environmentally friendly and cost-effective products that lower the viscosity of bituminous binders to allow reduction of mixing and compaction temperatures in asphalt mix production. ...
Microencapsulation of calcium nitrate for concrete applications
(
National Research Council
, 2016 , Article)
The use of encapsulating healing agents that allow the self-healing of concrete has emerged as a potential solution to the current decay and costly maintenance of concrete infrastructure; however, many healing agents are ...
Effect of self-healing calcium nitrate microcapsules on concrete properties
(
National Research Council
, 2016 , Article)
Self-healing concrete with microencapsulated calcium nitrate was investigated. The compressive strength of concrete admixed with microcapsules (as a percentage of the weight of the cement) was tested and compared with that ...
Fatigue characterization of lightly cementitiously stabilized granular base materials using flexural testing
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2016 , Article)
The fatigue characteristics of a lightly stabilized granular material under traffic loading are important considerations for the design of a pavement containing such material. This paper examines the use of flexural testing ...
An inclusive framework for automatic safety evaluation of roundabouts
(
Taylor and Francis Inc.
, 2016 , Article)
This article presents an approach for studying different aspects of traffic safety at roundabouts. An automated safety analysis framework is used to detect different types of traffic conflicts, as well as the inappropriate ...
Determination of stiffness modulus and poisson's ratio of lightly stabilized granular materials from indirect diametral tensile testing
(
ASTM International
, 2016 , Article)
Lightly cementitiously stabilized granular materials are generally characterised by their tensile properties that are required for the analysis and design of a pavement structure involving these materials. Tensile properties ...
Strength optimisation of mortar with CNTs and nanoclays
(
Thomas Telford Services Ltd
, 2016 , Article)
This study explores the use of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and nanoclays in cement mortars. The paper presents modelling and optimisation of the compressive and flexural strengths of cement mortars containing CNTs and the ...
Nonparametric structural damage detection algorithm for ambient vibration response: Utilizing artificial neural networks and self-organizing maps
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2016 , Article)
This study presentes a new nonparametric structural damage detection algorithm that integrates self-organizing maps with a pattern-recognition neural network to quantify and locate structural damage. In this algorithm, ...
The link between high performance work practices and organizational performance: Empirically validating the conceptualization of HPWP according to the AMO model
(
Emerald Group Publishing Ltd.
, 2016 , Article)
Purpose � The purpose of this paper is to better understand the relationship between high-performance work practices (HPWP) and organizational performance through a multi-dimensional model of the relationship between HPWP ...
Self-organizing maps for structural damage detection: A novel unsupervised vibration-based algorithm
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2016 , Article)
The study presented in this paper is arguably the first study to use a self-organizing map (SOM) for global structural damage detection. A novel unsupervised vibration-based damage detection algorithm is introduced using ...
