Microstructural characteristics, porosity and strength development in ceramic-laterized concrete (2017)
Journal Article
Awoyera, P., Akinmusuru, J., Dawson, A., Ndambuki, J., & Thom, N. (2018). Microstructural characteristics, porosity and strength development in ceramic-laterized concrete. Cement and Concrete Composites, 86, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cemconcomp.2017.11.017

Interfacial bonding between constituent materials and pore sizes in a concrete matrix are major contributors to enhancing the strength of concrete. In a bid to examine how this phenomenon affects a laterized concrete, this study explored the relation...

Ground-freezing experience on the east side access Northern Boulevard crossing, New York (2017)
Journal Article
Schmall, P., & Dawson, A. (in press). Ground-freezing experience on the east side access Northern Boulevard crossing, New York. Proceedings of the ICE - Ground Improvement, 170(GI3), https://doi.org/10.1680/jgrim.16.00012

A brief review is given of ground freezing technology as a means of providing groundwater cut-off and temporary structural support in weak ground for transportation tunnelling and shaft-sinking operations. Then detailed coverage of a particular case... Read More about Ground-freezing experience on the east side access Northern Boulevard crossing, New York.

Suitability of mortars produced using laterite and ceramic wastes: mechanical and microscale analysis (2017)
Journal Article
Awoyera, P., Dawson, A., Thom, N., & Akinmusuru, J. (2017). Suitability of mortars produced using laterite and ceramic wastes: mechanical and microscale analysis. Construction and Building Materials, 148, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.conbuildmat.2017.05.031

Using industrial wastes and local materials as artificial aggregates in cement based materials remains a relevant measure for conservation of natural sources. In this study, novel cementitious mixes containing pulverized ceramic blended cement, ceram...

Field evaluation of the effects of air convection in energy harvesting asphalt pavements (2017)
Journal Article
Chiarelli, A., Dawson, A., & Garcia, A. (2017). Field evaluation of the effects of air convection in energy harvesting asphalt pavements. Sustainable Energy Technologies and Assessments, 21, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.seta.2017.04.001

In this article, the performance of a convection-powered air flow through an asphalt prototype pavement is investigated in a field test. An asphalt prototype pavement with pipes buried in its aggregate layer was connected to a constant temperature he...

CRC Press. https://doi.org/10.1201/9781315281896-66

© 2017 Taylor & Francis Group, London. For in-service roundabouts where traffic volume has changed since design, road marking is an important factor affecting the safety and capacity of roundabouts. The principal aim of this study is to investigate... Read More about The influence of road marking, shape of central island, and truck apron on total and truck accidents at roundabouts.

Pavement temperature mitigation by the means of geothermally and solar heated air (2017)
Journal Article
García, A., Dawson, A., Chiarelli, A., Chiarelli, A., Dawson, A., & Garcia, A. (2017). Pavement temperature mitigation by the means of geothermally and solar heated air. Geothermics, 68, 9-19. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geothermics.2017.02.002

In this article, a novel method to mitigate pavement temperatures by the means of air convection is presented. The technique introduced here is based on a new type of experimental setup called a ground source heat simulator, which is able to feed air...
