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 ...

(
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 ...
Impact of Pulsed Dielectrophoretic Supply on the Function of Microorganisms in Membrane Bioreactors
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2018 , Article)
This study aims to investigate the effect of dielectrophoretic (DEP) force on microorganisms' viability in a membrane bioreactor (MBR). The impact of different electrical potentials (5-150 V) and different exposure durations ...
Finite-Element Analysis of Cantilever Slab Deflections with ANSYS SOLID65 3D Reinforced-Concrete Element with Cracking and Crushing Capabilities
(
American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
, 2019 , Article)
This paper presents a finite-element (FE) study conducted to investigate the deflections of newly constructed cantilevered slabs built for a medical facility expansion. From the beginning of the construction stage, the ...
Effective framework for change order management using analytical hierarchy process (AHP)
(
GaziUniversityEtiMahallesi
, 2018 , Article)
Construction projects are of very complex nature and come along with an intrinsic but undesirable property of change orders. The purpose of this paper is to propose an effective framework for the change order management ...
Integration of innovation through analytical hierarchy process (Ahp) in project management and planning
(
Vilnius Gediminas Technical University
, 2019 , Article)
This paper examines the concept of innovation management in the construction industry by studying the major components of the innovation process such as the major drivers of inno-vation, barriers and obstacles that prevent ...
Properties of fibre-reinforced concrete made with discarded materials
(
ICE Publishing
, 2019 , Article)
This research paper investigates the physical, chemical and mechanical properties of steel slag aggregates (SSA), gravel aggregates (GLA), natural gabbro aggregates (NGA), and the different fresh and hardened properties ...
