Improving Long-Term Interlayer Bond Performance by Developing Quality Control Technologies and Certification Procedures for Tack Coats

Creator:: Villarreal, Richard C., III
Abstract:: The tack coat bond is known to affect the longevity of asphalt pavements. Proper interlayer bonding prevents successive pavement layers from acting independently of one another and creating non-uniform stress and strain profiles in the pavement structure. Poor bonding between pavement layers can result in various pavement failures such as...

Conceptual Representations within the Social and Material Contexts of an Engineering Workplace and Academic Environments

Creator:: Barner, Matthew S.
Abstract:: Situated cognition theory emphasizes the role that social and material contexts have on learning and knowledge application. Several studies of engineering workplace environments have noted differences between the social and material contexts of the workplace and those of undergraduate engineering education. No existing research has studied the social and material...

Numerical response of concrete-lined tunnels crossing active faults

Creator:: Lange, Stephanie
Abstract:: A challenge for municipal authorities of growing urban areas is to provide larger and faster transportation and utility networks that are safe and resilient to significant disruptions after an earthquake event and other disasters. Urban regions, like the San Francisco Bay or the Los Angeles area, are situated in seismically...

The Evaluation of Cementitious Pore Solution Composition and Electrical Resistivity Using X-ray Fluorescence (XRF)

Creator:: Tsui Chang, Marisol
Abstract:: Interest in performance specifications has been growing in the civil and construction industry in the past decade. One major focus area has been on understanding how to prolong the service life of concrete structures, since repair and rehabilitation of existing infrastructure have cost many trillions of dollars. Deterioration mechanisms such...

Toward a mixture design methodology for internally cured concrete that considers filling specific pore sizes caused by self-desiccation

Creator:: Montanari, Luca
Abstract:: Internal curing is a term used to describe a process in which curing water is provided to a concrete mixture from inside the mixture. Internal curing water has typically been provided in North America mixtures by using prewetted porous materials, like fine lightweight aggregate (FLWA). Alternative materials, such as superabsorbent...

A Comprehensive Mechanistic Study on Using Fine Lightweight Aggregate to Mitigate Alkali-silica Reaction

Creator:: Li, Chang
Abstract:: Previous research has shown that using fine lightweight aggregate (FLWA) can be a promising strategy to mitigate alkali-silica reaction (ASR) in mortar and concrete. While several possible theories were proposed by researchers, discrepancies in testing methods, materials, and supporting evidence still exist. Therefore, this study was initiated. There are two...

Evaluation of the Effect of Chloride Ingress and Freeze-Thaw Cycles on Electrical Resistivity of Reinforced Concrete

Creator:: Rodriguez Matiz, David Esteban
Abstract:: Performing bridge inspections can be a very daunting task for every department of transportation (DOT) in the country. Because the leading cause of deterioration in reinforced concrete bridge decks is corrosion of the steel reinforcement, the ability to detect the concentration of corrosion-causing chlorides in the concrete, using a non-destructive...

Factors Influencing Conversion and Volume Stability in Calcium Aluminate Cement Systems

Creator:: Adams, Matthew P. (Matthew Peter)
Abstract:: There is renewed interest in North America for the use of calcium aluminate cement (CAC) in infrastructure repair. The interest is driven by the specialty properties that make CAC the ideal candidate for particular applications. These include rapid strength gain, even at temperatures approaching 0°C, the ability to customize fresh...

Alkali-silica reaction in concrete containing recycled concrete aggregates

Creator:: Adams, Matthew P.
Abstract:: Using recycled concrete aggregate (RCA) as a replacement for natural aggregate in new concrete is a promising way to increase the overall sustainability of new concrete. This has been hindered, however, by a general perception that RCA is a sub-standard material due to the lack of technical guidance, specifically related...

Internal curing of high-performance concrete for bridge decks

Creator:: Deboodt, Tyler
Abstract:: High performance concrete (HPC) provides a long lasting, durable concrete that is typically used in bridge decks due to its low permeability, high abrasion resistance, freeze-thaw resistance and strength. However, this type of concrete is highly susceptible to the deleterious effects of both autogenous and drying shrinkage. Both types of...
