Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMechanical Properties of Concrete Including Wood Shavings as Fine AggregatesAshraf A. M. Fadiel, Taher Abu-LebdehResidual and end-life products are a major hazard on the environment. Many researchers have considered waste as partial replacement of some construction materials to reduce their environmental and ecological problems. This kind of practices can be an important option for the protection of the environment. Wood shavings and saw dust are byproduct of the lumber industry. They are made from … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2021 · 7,040 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffect of Crumb Rubber as Coarse and Fine Aggregates on the Properties of Asphalt ConcreteArabi N.S. Al Qadi, Mahmoud B.A. Alhasanat, Madhar HaddadThis research has used crumb rubber in asphalt mixture as a part of the coarse and fine aggregate. Three sieve sizes of crumb rubbers were used in asphalt mixture No. 4, No. 8 and No. 50, with five percent of asphalt cements (4, 4.5, 5, 5.5 and 6%) by weight and four percent of crumb rubbers (10, 20, 30 and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 24 Jun 2016 · 9,525 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsAn Applied Study on the Debris Recycling in TunnellingPierpaolo Oreste, Marta CastellanoProblem statement: A simple calculation has shown what the impact of muck created during the construction of a hypothetical 50 km long and 100 m2 cross section tunnel could be on the environment: around 8 million cubic meters would have to be discharged as waste material. One solution to such a problem could be to recycle (almost a part) the … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 27 Mar 2012 · 7,518 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPhysical and Mechanical Properties of Concrete using Recycled Clay Bricks as Coarse AggregateMohammad Yasir Abdul Hakim, Mohamed El-Zeadani, Siti Aminah OsmanRising construction waste due to demolition work, natural disasters, and development is becoming a prominent issue. To tackle this, Recycled Crushed Brick Masonry Aggregate (RCBMA) can be an ideal replacement for the limited Natural Coarse Aggregates (NCA) in the production of concrete, potentially assisting in managing construction waste and reducing the depletion of NCA. As such, this study focused on … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 4 Apr 2022 · 7,586 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractVolume 1: First Steps for SGAMRChiara Bedon, Mario D’Aniello, Flavio StochinoSummer 2017 is approaching when the International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research starts to walk and the “Volume 1” contains its first outcomes (Bedon et al., 2017). It is worth of interest that the attention of the contributors is on glass…. but not only,… and this represents a promising step for the journal growth and evolution. In … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 28 Aug 2020 · 6,331 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractViability of Using Local Waste Materials in the Production of High-Performance and Self-Compacting ConcreteSayed Mohamad Soleimani, Abdel Rahman Alaqqad, Ali Behbehani et al.The objective of this study is to investigate the effects of using local waste materials on the properties of fresh and hardened high performance and self-compacting concrete. Crushed ceramic products and steel slag from electric-arc furnaces were used as partial replacements of traditional concrete raw materials in the production of self-compacting and high-performance concrete, which were obtained from local factories … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 13, Issue 1 · 6 Jan 2020 · 8,077 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractInvestigating the Effect of Heat on Reinforced Concrete Frame Using Finite Element SoftwareReza Salehi, Abbas Akbarpour Nikghalb RashtiThe present paper examines the effect of heat on the reinforced concrete frame. A concrete frame with a specific geometric dimension has been modeled in ABAQUS finite element software and its loading capacity and other specifications, such as hardness and ductility, have been obtained. Then the concrete frame was heated under temperature 200, 400, 600, 800 and 1000°C and load … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 4 May 2018 · 8,325 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractGilsonite Modified Asphalt for Use in Pavement ConstructionAliasghar Akbari Nasrekani, Mostafa Nakhaei, Koorosh Naderi et al.Properties such as durability and moisture resistance of asphalt concrete significantly improve pavement service life. When siliceous aggregate is used, then preventing moisture damage and stripping become distinctly required. Typically, stripping could be prevented by either using antistripping agents or by modifying the binders. The anti-stripping agent achieve its purpose by changing the aggregates' affinity for water through changing the … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 2 · 3 Apr 2018 · 9,380 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractCracking of Reinforced Recycled Concrete SlabsFlavio Stochino, Luisa Pani, Lorena Francesconi, Fausto MistrettaThe results of an experimental investigation on cracking of fifteen reinforced recycled concrete slabs are presented in this paper. Five different recycled aggregates replacement percentages have been used for different mix design. First, the values of tensile strength, cylindrical compressive strength and modulus of elasticity of the concrete mixes have been determined. Then the deflection-load curve of the simply supported … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 5 Sep 2017 · 10,157 accessesView PDFCite
EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractRECENT TRENDS AND CHALLENGES OF ENERGY EFFICIENT AND SUSTAINABLE BUILDINGSChiara BedonAccording to several studies (e.g., the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC, 2014), the US Energy Information Administration (US EIA, 2014), warming of the climate system is unequivocal and mainly derives from greenhouse gas emissions due to human activities. Global Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions from fossil fuels, for example, are estimated to be 29% higher in 2035 than they were … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 7, Issue 3 · 11 Sep 2014 · 8,497 accessesView PDFCite
