Article Citation - WoS: 47Citation - Scopus: 53Effect of Sustained Flexural Loading on Self-Healing of Engineered Cementitious Composites(Japan Concrete Institute, 2013) Özbay, Erdogan; Şahmaran, Mustafa; Yücel, Hasan Erhan; Erdem, Tahir Kemal; Lachemi, Mohamed; Li, Victor C.This paper aims to clarify the effects of sustained flexural loading on the self-healing behavior of Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC). Prismatic specimens of ECC mixtures with two different levels of Class-F fly ash content were cast. Flexural loading was applied to the specimens at 28 days age to generate severe amount of microcracks. The specimens were then stored under continuous water or air exposures with or without sustained mechanical loading, for up to 90 days. For specimens under sustained mechanical loading, the applied sustained load level was 60% of the ultimate flexural strength. The extent of damage was determined as a percentage of loss in mechanical properties. The influences of different exposure regimes and sustained mechanical loading on mechanical properties of ECC mixtures were investigated. Microstructural changes within the microcracks were also analyzed.Article Citation - WoS: 64Citation - Scopus: 70Mechanical and Morphological Properties of Recycled High-Density Polyethylene, Filled With Calcium Carbonate and Fly Ash(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2006) Atikler, Ulaş; Başalp, Dildare; Tıhmınlıoğlu, FundaIn this study, mechanical and morphological properties of composites made up of recycled high-density polyethylene (HDPE) filled with calcium carbonate and fly ash (FA) were studied. Interfacial interactions were modified to improve the filler compatibility and mechanical properties of the composites by surface treatment of the FA filler with 3-amino propyl triethoxy silane. The composites were prepared by using a Thermo Haake Rheomixer. Effect of filler loading and treatment of FA with silane coupling agent on mechanical and morphological properties were investigated and it was found that silane treatment indicated significant improvements on the mechanical properties of the HDPE-FA composites. The improvement with silane treatment of FA was also confirmed by applying the Pukanszky model. Scanning electron microscopy on the fracture surface of composites had given direct evidence of better interfacial adhesion via silane treatment.
