Abstract:

With the increased use of high performance concrete a lower water-to-binder ratio is employed to improve the properties of concrete and mineral and chemical admixtures are introduced. With a low water-to-binder ratio, considerable early-age volume changes can occur and compromises the durability of the concrete. Early age shrinkage is often not tested in practice due to the difficulty in measuring and the lack of standardisation of measuring techniques. The tensile capacity of concrete is lowest at an early age and therefore the most susceptible to cracking and material faults when stresses ar

Abstract:

Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has been using Open Graded Friction Course (OGFC) mixture to improve skid resistance of asphalt pavements under wet weather. The OGFC mixture design strongly depends on the Optimum Binder Content (OBC) which represents if the mixture has sufficient bonding between the aggregate and asphalt binder. At present, the FDOT designs OGFC mixtures using a pie plate visual draindown method (FM 5-588). In this method, the OBC is determined based on visual inspection of the asphalt binder draindown (ABD) configuration of three OGFC samples placed on pie plates

Abstract:

Pressure is mounting in the construction industry to adopt more environmentally sustainable methods to reduce CO2 emissions. Portland cement (PC) often constitutes to more than two-thirds of the embodied energy of concrete, and its production generates 5% of global greenhouse gas emissions. One efficient strategy to reduce the cement content without sacrificing performance is the use of particle packing models (PPM) to mix- proportion concrete mixtures with low cement content, the so-called low cement content (LCC) concrete. If on the one hand LCC was seen to be an effective sustainable altern

This study presents a study on the binder film thickness effect on aggregate contact behavior. As a three-phase material composed of aggregates, asphalt binder and air voids, asphalt mixture could be considered as a visco-elastic material in the low stress level. Since the behavior of the mixture depends largely on the relationship of different components, a well developed contact model for micro-structural modeling is very important for understanding the deformation mechanism of the mixture. In this study, the contact modeling of asphalt mixture was reviewed and the numerical tools used to in

Thermal (T), hydraulic (H), and mechanical (M) properties are important performance criteria of GF. The understanding of these engineering properties and their evolution with time are still limited due to the fact that GF is a new cemented backfill material. In this thesis, th
