  • Test method to determine the degree of asphalt stripping from aggregates

    Creator:
    Boudreau, Richard L.
    Abstract:
    Moisture damage has long been recognized as one of the most critical factors influencing the performance of asphalt concrete (AC) pavements. This moistureinduced damage occurs from either the physical separation of the asphalt film from the aggregate or the softening of the asphalt binder within the AC mixture in the...

  • The Effects of Construction Practices on Concrete Construction Joint Performance

    Creator:
    Panduranga Setty, Shreyas
    Abstract:
    Concrete is the most widely used construction material in the world. When constructing large concrete structures, concrete may have to be placed in multiple lifts. In these cases, fresh concrete is placed on hardened concrete. The interface that is formed between these two lifts of concrete is known as a...

  • The use of blended synthetic fibers to reduce cracking risk in high performance concrete (HPC)

    Creator:
    Bañuelos, José
    Abstract:
    High Performance Concrete (HPC) is used in our crucial pieces of infrastructure, such as bridge decks, due to its enhanced durability and engineering properties. However, HPC is highly susceptible to early-age cracking. Cracking within the first months of a bridge deck’s lifespan can severely hinder its long-term performance and durability....
