Effectiveness of Fabric-Reinforced Cementitious Matrix in Strengthening Reinforced Concrete Beams
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2017 , Article)
This paper reports on the efficiency of fabric-reinforced cementitious matrix (FRCM) in enhancing the flexural capacity and deformational characteristics of RC beams. In the main experimental part of the paper, 12 RC beams, ...
FRP/stirrups interaction of shear-strengthened beams
(
Kluwer Academic Publishers
, 2017 , Article)
This work includes experimental testing and finite element analysis of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) shear-strengthened reinforced concrete (RC) beams. The strengthening techniques used for the beam strengthening are ...
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 ...
A 10-step safety management framework for construction small and medium-sized enterprises
(
Taylor and Francis Ltd.
, 2017 , Article)
It is of great importance to develop an occupational health and safety management system (OHS MS) to form a systemized approach to improve health and safety. It is a known fact that thousands of accidents and injuries occur ...
Fuzzy Structural Equation Model to Assess Construction Site Safety Performance
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2017 , Article)
The main goal of this study is to examine the relationships between determinants of safety performance of construction sites. To achieve this goal, 168 observable variables and 16 latent dimensions that affect safety ...
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 ...
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 ...
Proposed formulas for estimating splitting tensile, shear and flexural strengths, and long term deflection assessment of self-compacting concrete elements
(
American Scientific Publishers
, 2017 , Article)
This paper investigated the splitting tensile and shear strengths and the modulus of rupture of Self Compacting Concrete (SCC) elements with fly ash, micro silica and polycarboxylate ether superplasticizer for various ...
Enhancing the corrosion resistance of reinforcing steel under aggressive operational conditions using behentrimonium chloride
(
Nature Research
, 2019 , Article)
Aggressive operational conditions e.g. saline media and acidic gases, e.g., CO2 can increase the corrosion rate of reinforcing steel. Accordingly, the necessity to protect the steel under the above conditions without ...
Multi-Objective Optimization Model for Inspection Scheduling of Sewer Pipelines
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2019 , Article)
Inspection activities play an important role in the operation and maintenance (O&M) strategy in municipalities. Efficient O&M strategies can help in making informed decisions based on the actual condition of pipelines ...
