(
Hindawi Limited
, 2019 , Article)
Given the increasing importance and availability of traffic-related smartphone applications, understanding their potential use is vital, especially in developing countries. This research explores motorist perceptions of ...
Acoustic absorption analysis and modeling of asphalt mixtures
(
ASTM International
, 2019 , Article)
Highway traffic noise is a major environmental issue all over the world. This is particularly annoying to residents who live nearby major transportation corridors. Noise pollution adversely affects the quality of their ...
Evaluation of short-term aging protocol for asphalt mixtures
(
MDPI AG
, 2019 , Article)
Asphalt mixtures are subjected to short-term aging during the production, placement, and compaction processes. Proper evaluation of asphalt pavement performance relies on the accurate characterization of asphalt mixtures ...
Hydration, strength, and shrinkage of cementitious materials mixed with simulated desalination brine
(
ASTM International
, 2019 , Article)
The process of desalination results in the production of a hypersaline waste by-product known as reject brine. In some locations, this reject brine is dumped back into the ocean, which has potentially detrimental effects ...
A microbial fuel cell configured for the remediation of recalcitrant pollutants in soil environment
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2019 , Article)
A pristine soil environment supports a healthy soil biodiversity, which is often polluted with recalcitrant compounds. The bioelectrochemical remediation of the contaminated soils using bioelectrochemical systems (BESs) ...
Carbon nanotube effect on the ductility, flexural strength, and permeability of concrete
(
Hindawi Limited
, 2019 , Article)
Recently, remarkable types of carbon nanofilaments called carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have raised the interest of many concrete and cementitious composite researchers due to their significant mechanical, electrical, thermal, ...
Hybrid Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar to Identify Impulse-dependent Wave Characteristics of Viscoelastic Phononic Crystals
(
Springer New York LLC
, 2019 , Article)
There has recently been a rising interest in the nonlinear wave transmission behavior of phononic crystals. However, experimental studies focusing on the nonlinear wave transmission behavior of phononic crystals have been ...
A Case Study for Surrogate Safety Assessment Model in Predicting Real-Life Conflicts
(
Springer Verlag
, 2019 , Article)
Conflict techniques enable transportation engineers to investigate hazardous network locations without the need to obtain crash data. These techniques are the most developed indirect measure of traffic safety. The concept ...
Shear behavior of RC beams strengthened with different types of FRCM: Effect of stirrups' configuration
(
ISEC Press
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
Fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix, (FRCM) system has shown to be promising for the strengthening of reinforced concrete (RC) beams. However, the available experimental investigation on the shear strengthening efficacy ...
Effect of Aging on Viscoelastic Properties of Asphalt Mixtures
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2019 , Article)
This study presents a comprehensive laboratory evaluation and statistical analysis of the effect of aging on the viscoelastic properties of asphalt mixtures. Asphalt mixtures were subjected to different short- and long-term ...
