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 ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
Macro-scale direct shear test device for assessing soil-solid interface friction under low effective normal stresses
( ASTM International , 2014 , Article)The paper describes a new macro-scale direct shear test device for assessing the largedisplacement soil/solid interface drained shear strength at low effective normal stresses. The testing method arises from a need to ... -
Undrained interface shear strength of fine-grained soils for near-shore marine pipelines
( ASTM International , 2020 , Article)The peak and residual interface shear strengths for a variety of normally consolidated soils were measured using a torsional ring shear apparatus modified to suit soil and interface testing under the undrained condition, ...
