Wheel Tracking

The rutting performance of asphalt pavement structure relies on the high temperature properties of asphalt mixture as well as the pavement structure and thickness. In order to investigate the influence of the structure and thickness, a full-depth wheel tracking test is developed in this research by improving the conventional wheel tracking test apparatus. The newly proposed test method is capable of varying its load speed and load size, controlling its specimen temperature gradient, and simulating the support conditions of actual asphalt pavement. The full-depth wheel tracking test based rutting performance evaluation of different asphalt pavement structures indicates that it is not reasonable to explain the rutting performance of asphalt pavement structure from the point of view of single-layer asphalt mixture rutting performance. The developed full-depth wheel tracking test can be used to distinguish rutting performance of different asphalt pavement structures, and two of five typical asphalt pavement structures commonly used in Shanxi Province were suggested for use in practical engineering.

Pavement Structure

The bearing characteristics of the asphalt pavement structure are greatly influenced by buried pipelines. Improper treatment of buried pipelines would cause early damage to pavement structure. By the digital speckle correlation method (DSCM), the experimental research on bearing characteristics of the asphalt pavement containing buried pipe was carried out. The mechanical characteristics of the asphalt pavement structure are studied under four different pipeline burial conditions. The vertical displacement and strain values of each layer of the asphalt pavement structure are obtained under four operating conditions. The results showed that (1) the digital speckle observation test method can accurately obtain the displacement and strain values of each layer of asphalt pavement structure containing buried pipeline, and the application effect is good. Compared with the traditional contact strain measurement method, this method is simple and accurate and can provide effective analysis data for experimental research. (2) There exists an interlayer effect of the asphalt pavement structure. The vertical displacement value and the strain value are discontinuities and can suddenly change between two adjacent layers. At the same time, the vertical strain and the shear strain concentration phenomenon appear at the bottom of each layer, especially at the bottom of the upper layer and the subbase layer of asphalt. (3) Affected by the buried pipelines, the vertical displacement value of the asphalt pavement structure reduces, and the tensile and shear strain values of asphalt pavement structure increase. The subbase layer of asphalt is most affected by the buried pipelines, which accelerated the destruction of the asphalt pavement structure.

Major Section

As vehicle flow on arterial highway in Inner Mongolia sharply increased, the originally designed natural increase rate of 8% per year has been exceeded on the vehicle flow in some sections. According to statistics, monthly average vehicle flow on major section of G6 expressway has reached a standard flow of 67478 vehicles per day and night, of which in 70-80% are large ones for coal transportation. Therefore, pavement load and road capacity have exceed the designed expressway load capacity. At present, semi-rigid base asphalt pavement structure is still widely used for high-grade highway pavement in Inner Mongolia. With years of construction for such pavement structure, a great deal of valuable experience has been gained on construction technology. However, there are still a few deficiencies in the quality of raw materials, gradation control of asphalt mixture and adjustment of equipment, etc. Hohhot circle expressway connects with the G6 and G7 expressways, suffering from problems such as large vehicle flow and load overweight. This paper introduced a key technique that should be properly controlled during construction of such pavement structure, emphasized technique control and management of the following aspects, i.e. ballast sizes and gradation control, asphalt concrete mixture, adjustment of pavers, validation of mixing proportion in production and reasonable arrangement of process, and summarized corresponding technical measures taken during construction of asphalt pavement in this project.

Interlayer Bonding

The interlayer bonding of double-layer porous asphalt pavement will show more variations with different construction technologies, such as one-step molding by double-layer (hot on hot) paver, or paving layer by layer (hot on cold) with or without tack coat, and the variations will definitely have influences on pavement structure. Different interlayer technologies are studied in this paper on three levels including simulation experiments on specimen by indoor preparation, calculation of pavement mechanics, and construction of testing road, so that optimal interlayer bonding technology for double-layer porous asphalt pavement is discussed in combination with its effect on permeability.

Foamed Bitumen

Properly designed and maintained asphalt pavements operate for ten to twenty-five years and have to be rehabilitated after that period. Cold in-place recycling has priority over all other rehabilitation methods since it is done without preheating and transportation of reclaimed asphalt pavement. Multiple researches on the performance of cold recycled mixtures have been done; however, it is unclear how the entire pavement structure (cold recycled asphalt pavement overlaid with asphalt mixture) performs depending on binding agents. The main objective of this research was to evaluate the performance of cold in-place recycled asphalt pavements considering binding agents (foamed bitumen in combination with cement or only cement) and figure out which binder leads to the best pavement performance. Three road sections rehabilitated in 2000, 2003, and 2005 were analysed. The performance of the entire pavement structure was evaluated in terms of the International Roughness Index, rut depth, and pavement surface distress in 2013 and 2017.
