Introduction: In this study, the asphalt mixture (porosity <2%) was tested for use between the upper and middle layers of the asphalt pavement to improve its interlayer structure and to enhance its related waterproof and anti-cracking ability. Methods: Considering the weather characteristics and traffic conditions in Jiangxi Province, appropriate raw materials were selected. Based on the technical indexes of the raw materials, expected porosity (<2%), and AC-5 standard for the asphalt mixture, experiments were conducted to determine the best gradation range of the waterproof and anti-cracking layer, and to obtain the optimum amount of the asphalt and fiber used based on Marshall tests. Results: The high-temperature rutting test, low-temperature cracking test, and water stability test were conducted to evaluate the pavement performance of the waterproof and anti-cracking layer. Conclusions: A waterproof and anti-cracking layer was added between the upper and middle layers of the asphalt pavement, which has excellent performance for avoiding cracks and water damage.

Low Temperature Cracking

To reduce the temperature of asphalt pavement and improve the antirutting performance of asphalt mixture, a thermal-resistant asphalt mixture (TRAM) was produced, in which a certain proportion of mineral aggregate was replaced by ceramic (CE) or floating beads (FB) featuring low thermal conductivity. Firstly, a parallel plate test was developed to test the thermal conductivity of asphalt mixture added with different thermal-resistant materials. Secondly, the illumination test system was designed to study the visual cooling effect of different TRAM by imitating the natural environment. Finally, the effect of different thermal-resistant materials on asphalt pavement performance was evaluated. The results show that the addition of thermal-resistant materials can reduce the thermal conductivity and the temperature of asphalt mixture. The cooling effect of CE75 and CE100 (coarse aggregate substituted by 75% and 100% CE, respectively) is superior to other aggregates. The temperature reduction rates of CE75 and CE100 reache 6.6°C and 6.8°C, respectively. For FB50 and FB75 (fine aggregate substituted with 50 and 75% FB, respectively), the cooling effect of them reaches 3.9°C and 4.5°C, respectively. In addition, the CE and FB can improve the antirutting performance of asphalt mixture by reducing the temperature inside the pavement. The high-temperature performance of CE75 and FB75 is the best. With the increase of thermal resistance materials, the low-temperature cracking resistance of asphalt mixture decreases gradually. The failure strain of mixture added with 100% thermal resistance materials is close to the lower limit of Chinese specification. The water stability of different TRAM changes with various test methods. Taking into account the results of pavement performance and the cooling effect, the substitution proportion of CE and FB for TRAM is proposed as 50%∼75%, respectively.

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.

The paper investigates the effects of different concentrations of crumb rubber (CR) on the pavement performance of the conventional penetration-grade 80/100 bitumen and the dense-graded wearing course asphalt mixture (AC16). A wet process and 0.6mm size CR were used and the control variables included three types of CR of concentrations 5%,10% and 15% by total weight of binder. The evaluations were twofold. Firstly, a comparison of the basic and rheological properties of those modified and unmodified binders was conducted. Secondly, a comparison of the resistance to moisture damage, low temperature cracking and permanent deformation of the AC16 and CR modified AC16 was performed. The results show that all the CR modified binders and mixtures are found to have improved performance as evaluated by a series of laboratory tests. In addition, among three CR concentrations, AC16 modified with 10%CR by total weight of binder exhibits the most satisfactory performance properties with respect to the resistance to moisture damage, permanent deformation and low temperature cracking.
