DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF A MECHANISTIC AND EMPIRICAL PAVEMENT DESIGN GUIDE (MEPDG) FOR RIGID PAVEMENTS-PHASE I (FHWA-OK-12-06 2208)
(2012-11)This reports completes a sensitivity analysis of the MEPDG based on Oklahoma pavements, provides a literature review of base material best practices, increases the Oklahoma weather data available for the MEPDG, investigates ... -
Effect of Curing Temperature on Nanomodified Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composites
(2023-12-15)Dispersion of pristine and functionalized-COOH carbon nanotubes (CNTs) into the resin matrix used to develop fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) composites is known to improve FRP properties such as shear strength, UV resistance, ... -
Effect of wet curing duration on long-term performance of concrete in tidal zone of marine environment
(SpringerOpen, 2015-12)A proper initial curing is a very simple and inexpensive alternative to improve concrete cover quality and accordingly extend the service life of reinforced concrete structures exposed to aggressive species. A current study ... -
Effects of Curing Time and Curing Temperature on the Standard Test for Strand Bond
(Oklahoma State University, 2010-05-01)The purpose of this study was to observe and determine the effects of the curing environment on the STSB method. Through multiple rounds of NASP funded research, the STSB has proven to be a valid test method for assessing ... -
Field investigation of pumping air entrained concrete and validation of the SAM test on lightweight aggregate concrete mixtures
(2020-05)The use of a pump to transport concrete is one of the most common and widely accepted methods to distribute and place concrete. An air-entraining admixture can be added to fresh concrete to prevent freeze-thaw durability ... -
Novel methods of quantifying curing influence and freeze thaw cycles in the field
(2022-05)This work developed a flexible resistivity sensor that provides a novel perspective to develop a deep understanding of two important problems for concrete, i.e. curing influence on concrete hydration and freeze-thaw cycles ...
