Study on Low Temperature Crack Resistance of SMA-13 Asphalt Mixture in Coastal Area
The paper selects polyester fiber as an admixture and prepares SMA-13 semi-circular specimens with polyester fiber content of 0%,0.3%,0.35%,0.4%,0.45%and 0.5%.The lower semi-circular bending test of sodium sulfate-dry-wet cycle is carried out at different times,0,2,4,6,8 respectively.And the dry-wet cycle of water is used as a parallel control group.With the increase of the times of dry-wet cycles,the low temperature performance of the salt-dry-wet cycle specimen group and the parallel control group de-crease;salt-dry-wet cycle has more effect on the specimen than water-dry-wet cycle,and the low temperature performance degradation amplitude of the specimen after water-dry-wet cycle is small.The macro evaluation index KIC of polyester fiber specimens with 0.4%content has good performance under the condition of dry-wet cycle of each solution,and the measured data are higher than those of oth-er fibers.Combined with the SEM scanning electron microscope test,the polyester fiber with a content of 0.4%can form a better fiber mesh lap structure,conducive both to the improvement of the integrity of the specimen and to the uniform transmission of load.
