Evaluation of internal resistance in hot-mix asphalt (HMA) concrete.
September 1, 2002... Abstract Accurate quantification of aggregate properties is essential for understanding their influence on hot-mix asphalt (HMA) concrete and for selecting aggregates to produce high-quality paving mixture. The objectives of this study are...

Comparative study of behavior of reinforced concrete beams strengthened and repaired-strengthened by using V connecting bars and U connecting stirrups.(Statistical Data Included)
September 1, 2002... Abstract The purpose of this study is to investigate the repairing and strengthening techniques for reinforced concrete beams and to compare the behaviors of beams strengthened and repaired-strengthened by two different techniques with...

Shear strength of reinforced-recycled material.(Statistical Data Included)
September 1, 2002... Abstract Granular materials are widely used in construction. The cost and environmental impact of supplying natural aggregates forces the construction industry to look for alternative materials for engineering applications. Recycled...

Out-of-plane behavior of surface-reinforced masonry walls.(Statistical Data Included)
September 1, 2002... Abstract This paper presents the results of an experimental program designed to evaluate the out-of-plane shear strength of masonry wall system; and to evaluate of the influence of the area of externally bonded FRP composites on the shear...

Basic rheological and mechanical properties of high-volume fly ash grouts.(Statistical Data Included)
September 1, 2002... Abstract Soil, rock and oil-well grouting require enormous amounts of cement and are therefore good examples of areas where high volumes of fly ash could replace cement partially to produce low-cost, environmentally friendly and durable...

Laboratory and field performance of polymer-modified cement-based repair mortars in cold climates.(Statistical Data Included)
September 1, 2002... Abstract The results of an ongoing test program to evaluate the performance of polymer-modified cement-based mortars for repairing surfaces of concrete structures up to a depth of 75 mm (3 inches) damaged due to exposure to cold climates...
