Indoor Simulation Study on the Method for Determining the Compaction Time of Cold Mixed and Cold Laid Emulsified Asphalt Mixture
The strength formation of cold mixed and cold laid emulsified asphalt mixture is influenced by various factors,making it difficult to grasp its compaction timing.However,the current specifications lack cri-teria for determining the compaction timing of cold mixed and cold laid emulsified asphalt mixture,which re-stricts the promotion and application of this material.Therefore,this article conducts indoor simulation re-search on the method and criteria for determining the compaction time of cold mix and cold laid emulsified as-phalt mixture.Firstly,the relationship equation between the splitting strength,high-temperature stability,low-temperature cracking resistance,and water stability of emulsified asphalt mixture and the forming time of the specimen was established through indoor experiments.The correlation analysis showed that the correlation between splitting strength and high-temperature stability,low-temperature cracking resistance,and water stability was very significant.Therefore,the splitting strength can be used as a representative indicator to de-termine the compaction timing.On this basis,based on the criterion that the road performance meets the spec-ification requirements of hot mix modified asphalt mixture,the judgment index and standard for the compressi-bility time of emulsified asphalt mixture are determined,that is,the judgment index is the splitting strength,and the judgment standard is 0.69 MPa.This achievement has reference value for determining the compaction time of emulsified asphalt mixture.
