Nano-scale moisture damage evaluation of carbon nanotube-modified asphalt
(
Elsevier
, 2018 , Article)
© 2018 Elsevier Ltd In addition to polymer modification, the use of nanomaterials to improve different asphalt properties has recently been found to be beneficial. However, the potential of nanomaterials in pavement ...
A study on the bond behavior of different FRCM systems
(
EDP Sciences
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
Fabric-reinforced cementitous matrix (FRCM) composites are usually applied on the concrete surface for the purpose of strengthening reinforced concrete structures. However, the efficiency of FRCM strengthening is notably ...
Recent advances in corrosion resistant superhydrophobic coatings
(
Walter de Gruyter GmbH
, 2018 , Article Review)
Extreme water-repellent (superhydrophobic) coatings with water contact angle higher than 150° have caught the attention of corrosion researchers in the last decade as they can be used to protect metals and alloys against ...
Evaluation of Waste Engine Oil-Rejuvenated Asphalt Concrete Mixtures with High RAP Content
(
Hindawi Limited
, 2018 , Article)
The use of large proportions of reclaimed asphalt pavement is necessary to meet the increasing demand for road construction materials in a sustainable way. One of the challenges of using a greater percentage of reclaimed ...
Impact of Pulsed Dielectrophoretic Supply on the Function of Microorganisms in Membrane Bioreactors
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2018 , Article)
This study aims to investigate the effect of dielectrophoretic (DEP) force on microorganisms' viability in a membrane bioreactor (MBR). The impact of different electrical potentials (5-150 V) and different exposure durations ...
Effective framework for change order management using analytical hierarchy process (AHP)
(
GaziUniversityEtiMahallesi
, 2018 , Article)
Construction projects are of very complex nature and come along with an intrinsic but undesirable property of change orders. The purpose of this paper is to propose an effective framework for the change order management ...
The dynamic interaction effects of railway tunnels: Crossrail and the Grand Central Recording Studios
(
SAGE Publications Ltd
, 2018 , Article)
In cities around the world, underground railways offer an environmentally friendly solution to society's increasing demand for mass transport. However, they are often constructed close to sensitive buildings, where the ...
Fouling suppression in submerged membrane bioreactors by obstacle dielectrophoresis
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
Submerged membrane bioreactor (MBR) is currently believed to be an efficient biological treatment for reusing and recovering wastewater to extenuate the ever increasing water scarcity crisis. To mitigate the main problem, ...
Characterization and application of FRCM as a strengthening material for shear-critical RC beams
(
EDP Sciences
, 2018 , Conference Paper)
This paper investigates the effectiveness of fabric reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) systems in shear-strengthening of reinforced concrete beams. Three types of FRCM systems were considered, namely, polyparaphenylene ...
A microfluidic pore model to study the migration of fine particles in single-phase and multi-phase flows in porous media
(
Springer Verlag
, 2018 , Article)
Fine particles within porous media may migrate with the flowing fluid and cause bridging or clogging in the pore space. Bridging and clogging reduce the flow permeability of porous media, which has a significant influence ...
