Interface Bonding Strength

The interface bonding between Portland cement concrete (PCC) pavement and hot-mix asphalt (HMA) overlay plays an important role in the performance of the composite pavement. This research conducted a series of comprehensive laboratory studies to investigate the influence factors of the interface bonding strength using a self-designed direct shear test apparatus that can simultaneously apply normal stress and shear stress on a specimen. Four kinds of commonly used tack coat materials were systematically tested and compared under various combinations of normal stress and temperature. Then, coupling effects of the normal stress and temperature on the interface bonding between PCC and HMA were analyzed. The test results show that temperature has a significant impact on the adhesion of the tack coat. Emulsified asphalt was considered the optimal tack coat material because of its simple construction method. In addition, it was found that a damaged interface could still provide considerable bonding strength. Normal stress generated by traffic loads was beneficial to the interface bonding strength, especially at lower temperatures. The temperature had a significant effect on interface bonding and played a leading role in the failure mode of interface bonding.

Interface Bonding Strength

This paper investigates the effect of different pull-out rates on interface bonding strength. The experimental results show that rate effect is also another significant effect factor which contributes to optical interface bonding strength. In the uniaxial tensile process, the interface bonding strength is attributed to the interplay between the shear force and the friction force. The critical strain rate for leading role between shear force and friction force is 10-1.5, when less than that friction force dominates in the interface bonding mechanism, otherwise shear force dominates.

ABSTRACTPortland cement concrete (PCC) structures deteriorate with age and need to be maintained or replaced. Early detection of deterioration in PCC (e.g., alkali-silica reaction, freeze/thaw damage, or chloride presence) can lead to significant reductions in maintenance costs. However, it is often too late to perform low-cost preventative maintenance by the time deterioration becomes evident. By developing techniques that would enable civil engineers to evaluate PCC structures and detect deterioration at early stages (without causing further damage), optimization of life-cycle costs of the constructed facility and minimization of disturbance to the facility users can be achieved.Nondestructive evaluation (NDE) methods are potentially one of the most useful techniques ever developed for assessing constructed facilities. They are noninvasive and can be performed rapidly. Portland cement concrete can be nondestructively evaluated by electrically characterizing its complex dielectric constant. The real part of the dielectric constant depicts the velocity of electromagnetic waves in PCC. The imaginary part, termed the “loss factor,” describes the conductivity of PCC and the attenuation of electromagnetic waves.Dielectric properties of PCC have been investigated in a laboratory setting using a parallel plate capacitor operating in the frequency range of 0.1 to 40.1MIHz. This capacitor set-up consists of two horizontal-parallel plates with an adjustable separation for insertion of a dielectric specimen (PCC). While useful in research, this approach is not practical for field implementation. A new capacitor probe has been developed which consists of two plates, located within the same horizontal plane, for placement upon the specimen to be tested. Preliminary results show that this technique is feasible and results are promising; further testing and evaluation is currently underway.
