  • Measuring and Correcting the Electrical Resistivity of Concrete Pore Solution in Fresh Mixtures

    Creator:
    Biever, Joseph H.
    Abstract:
    A vital aspect of concrete construction is quality assurance and control (QA/QC). Engineered structures must meet pre-determined and agreed-upon strength and durability requirements. Concrete falls into a specific category of infrastructure material because in most cases, these strength and durability requirements cannot be found until the material has at least...

  • An evaluation of coastal Oregon's marginal aggregates

    Creator:
    Clemmons, Gregory H.
    Abstract:
    Coastal Oregon is deficient in quality construction aggregates. There is, however, an abundance of lower quality, or marginal, aggregate available for construction purposes. An evaluation of these marginal aggregates is the purpose of this paper. There are four classes of marginal rocks found on the Oregon Coast. Basalts, high in...

  • Evaluation of selected marginal aggregates stabilized with cement

    Creator:
    Chang, Chen
    Abstract:
    Coastal Oregon is deficient in quality construction aggregate. There is, however, an abundance of lower quality, or marginal aggregate available for construction purposes. The purpose of this report is to develop techniques for upgrading marginal aggregates with portland cement and methods for evaluating the relative performance of these stabilized materials...

  • Properties of marginal aggregates treated with asphalt emulsion

    Creator:
    Evans, Gary L.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this report is to address the problem of supplying construction aggregates to Oregon's coastal areas that are currently, or will in the near future, be deficient of good quality materials. This is done primarily by studying methods of utilizing marginal aggregates that are abundantly available in the...

  • 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...
