    查看更多>>摘要:Chip seal is widely used for preventive maintenance to mitigate pavement deterioration,but it is prone to aggregate loss during pavement service.To further promote the devel-opment and application of chip seals in road engineering in China,the research progress of the adhesion behavior of aggregate and binder in chip seals was reviewed in this paper,focusing on the adhesion mechanism of emulsified asphalt and alkaline aggregate.The Influencing factors and evaluation methodology of chip seals'aggregate adhesion behavior were also discussed.The results demonstrate that the adhesion process between emulsi-fied asphalt and alkaline aggregate is divided into three processes including infiltration,demulsification,and cluster,which is more complicated when compared to hot asphalt.When designing a chip seal,not only the characteristics of single material should be paid attention to,but also the combination of binder and aggregate matters a lot.To form good adhesion between aggregate and asphalt binder,various influencing factors such as ma-terial selection,design method,and construction technical index should be considered comprehensively in the whole design,construction,and operation process.Three methods for evaluating adhesion behavior are summarized,including macroscopic adhesion per-formance tests,image analysis technology,and model prediction.It is not objective to evaluate the aggregate adhesion behavior of chip seal only by a single evaluation method.A comprehensive evaluation based on the micro-macro multi-scale method should be considered in the future.

    查看更多>>摘要:The exact evaluation of the fusion rate of virgin and aged asphalt is essential to optimize the performance of the recycled asphalt mixture.The fusion rate index was developed by tracing the distribution of tracer asphalt,which contains nano-ferrous ferric oxide(nano-Fe3O4)tracer.Laboratory fusion simulation tests were performed on three types of asphalt to obtain different fusion states,and fatigue tests were performed to evaluate the influence of the fusion rate on the fatigue life of the recycled asphalt.It was found that the tracer asphalt containing 4%nano-Fe3O4 shows the optimal trace effect,and the developed fusion rate index can quantitatively characterize the influence of different factors on the fusion state of the recycled asphalt.The fusion state is closely related to the fatigue performance of recycled asphalt,and the fusion rate index can fairly evaluate its fatigue performance.The relationship between the fusion rate and the fatigue life of recycled asphalt depends on the factors that cause the fusion rate variation.Under the influence of the amount of rejuvenator,the fatigue life of recycled asphalt grows exponentially with increasing fusion rate due to enhancement of molecular motion as well as a supplement of lightweight components.Under the influence of heat preservation treatment,fatigue life increases linearly with increasing fusion rate.The proposed fusion rate index can be utilized to quantitatively characterize the fusion state of virgin and aged asphalt,thus providing a simple way to guide the practical application of recycled asphalt.

    查看更多>>摘要:Pervious concrete is a special type of concrete that is of high porosity and contains no or a small amount of fine aggregate,and it is an important basic material for sponge city construction.The presence of a large number of connected pores inside pervious concrete leads to a marked difference in durability failure mechanism compared with that of or-dinary concrete.In this study,the frost resistance and anti-clogging of pervious concrete were intro-duced in detail,and the methods to improve their performance were summarized sys-tematically.The cracking pattern of pervious concrete is influenced by geometric characteristics and three-dimensional morphological features of pores,resulting in its crack generation,development,and geometry being significantly different from those of ordinary concrete,thus leading to different freeze-thaw cycle mechanisms.In addition,due to its different pore structure compared to ordinary concrete,three types of clogging mechanisms,affecting the long-term permeability of pervious concrete were elaborated systematically(i.e.,physical clogging,biological clogging,and chemical clogging).And the ways to improve the anti-clogging of pervious concrete are systematically presented from multiple perspectives.Finally,in order to broaden the engineering applications of pervious concrete,some research proposals are presented in this study.

    查看更多>>摘要:The creep damage evolution of asphalt binder plays a significant role in investigating the formation mechanism of rutting.The rutting is the common distress at high temperatures for asphalt pavements.However,the reliability of existing creep damage parameters is under questioned,and these parameters cannot accurately illustrate the change of intrinsic microstructure for asphalt binder.In this paper,a new test protocol was given access to study the evolution of viscoelastic parameters during creep damage.It was completed by inserting the frequency sweep during creep test.The frequency sweep curve clusters were fitted by the generalized Kelvin-Voigt model for obtaining the change law of model parameters.Based on the change law and sensitivity analysis of model parameters,(E2+E3)/2 was proposed as the creep damage variable.According to the curve of(E2+E3)/2 versus loading time,two stages during the creep test could be identified:an approximate constant value in phase I and a linear decrease in phase Ⅱ.Intrinsic differences about creep property of binders could be determined by this new proposed parameter.Above results not only ensure better understanding of the creep damage mechanism of binders,but also lay the theoretical foundation on predicting the anti-rutting performance of binders.

    查看更多>>摘要:In recent years,the temperature-adjusted asphalt pavement has been an extensive concern by scholars in various countries,and this pavement can reduce temperature-related diseases.In this study,the shaped composite phase change materials(CPCMs)were successfully synthesized by two processes,which are vacuum impregnation and epoxy curing.Firstly,the applicability of CPCMs in asphalt mixtures was evaluated by micro-scopic characterization,chemical compatibility,thermal properties,durability,and leakage stability.Secondly,CPCMs were applied to the asphalt mixture to evaluate its temperature-adjusted characteristics and pavement performance.Finally,the performance of the temperature-adjusted asphalt mixture was analyzed by integrating all factors.The research shows that the prepared CPCMs have excellent thermal properties and durability,the phase transition temperature is 48.93 ℃,and the phase transition enthalpy is 106.5 J/g,which fully meets the requirements for use in pavement.The temperature-adjusted asphalt mixture could alleviate the occurrence of extreme temperature,which was 4.9 ℃ lower than the conventional mixture.The pavement performance of the temperature-adjusted asphalt mixture can meet the specified standards for humid areas.Considering the factors,the recommended amount of CPCMs is 1.5%.The research results provide a basis for the promotion of temperature-adjusted asphalt pavement and effectively support the development of pavement engineering technology.

    查看更多>>摘要:The Portland cement concrete pavement(PCCP)often suffers from different environmental distresses and vehicle load failure,resulting in slab corner fractures,potholes,and other diseases.Rapid repair has become one of the effective ways to open traffic rapidly.In this study,a novel type of rapid repair material,basalt fiber reinforced polymer modified magnesium phosphate cement(BFPMPC),is used to rapidly repair PCCP.Notably,the mechanical properties and characteristics of the repair interfaces which are named interfacial transition zones(ITZs)formed by BFPMPC and cement concrete are focused on as a decisive factor for the performance of the rapid repair.The changing trend of the elastic moduli was studied by nanoindentation experiments in the ITZs with the decon-volution analysis that the elastic moduli of certain kinds of substances can be determined.The experimental results show that the elastic modulus of ITZ-1 with a width of about 20 µm can be regarded as 0.098 times of the aggregate,and 0.51 times of the ordinary Portland cement(OPC)mortar.The BFPMPC-OPC mortar ITZ has roughly the same me-chanical properties as the ITZ between aggregate and BFPMPC.A multi-scale representa-tive two-dimensional model was established by random aggregate and a two-dimensional extended finite element method(XFEM)to study the mechanical properties of the repair interface.The simulation results show that the ITZ formed by the interface of BFPMPC and OPC mortar and basalt aggregate is the most vulnerable to failure,which is consistent with the nano-indentation experimental results.

    查看更多>>摘要:Microwave heating,which is used for pre-treatment of concrete before it is comminuted,stands as a strong candidate for selective liberation of multiphase materials like concrete.This paper is concerned with the selective liberation of concrete's raw constituents(particularly aggregate)for recycling by considering the water content of concrete as a parameter of microwave heating for the first time.The deterioration law of the concrete's performance was characterized by the variation in the splitting tensile strength and rela-tive dynamic modulus after heating by microwave at different water contents.Besides,tests were conducted to evaluate the performance of the interface transition zone(ITZ)between aggregate and mortar as well as to investigate the reasons for the stripping behavior of aggregate-mortar,which included the interface tensile strength test,temper-ature measurement,and porosity test.The deterioration law of splitting tensile strength and relative dynamic modulus revealed that the performance of concrete was subject to different degrees of damage depending on the water content.Furthermore,experimental results showed that interface bonding strength between aggregate and mortar was dramatically impaired,and a large temperature difference was generated between the aggregate and mortar during microwave heating.Meanwhile,the permeable pores increased considerably even when the specimens were dried.In the presence of water,the intactness of ITZ between aggregate and mortar was destroyed by microwave heating,and its performance was significantly lowered,which led to the occurrence of stripping behavior between aggregate and mortar.This was reaffirmed by the microstructure pre-sented by scanning electron microscopy.Thus,the newly developed microwave pre-treatment improved by providing appropriate water contents for concrete corresponding to different strength grades is a promising method for recycling aggregate from waste concrete.
