Through foaming experiment of Zhongtai AH-70 asphalt, the best foaming temperature water consumption and influence factors of foamed asphalt’s foaming features are determined; By designing the proportion of foamed asphalt cold in-place recycled mixture combined with the water stability experiment, for this mixture the best foamed asphalt addition is 3%, and proportion of the mixture is RAP: fine aggregate: cement=75:23:2. Using SEM technology, the mechanism of increasing on the intensity of foamed asphalt mixture resulted by the addition of cement was analysed. This research provides reference for cement admixture’s formulation in the designing of foamed asphalt cold in-place recycled mixture.

In this paper, the preparation technology and improved the mixture ratio design method of foam concrete with lightweight tailings have been studied. Based on the review, the following research needs have been identified: (i) to calculate the amount of lightweight tailings by the binder materials content, (ii) to calculate additional water by the water absorption of lightweight tailings saturated surface dry condition, (iii) to calculate foam stabilizer content by the weight of foaming agent. Foam should be measured by volume. By testing the wet density of foam concrete paste to accurately control the amount of foam. The foam concrete mixed with a certain amount of lightweight tailings not only can significantly reduce the content of cement, reduce cost, but also can improve the performance of foam concrete.

Expansion joints are a weak and fragile part of bridge superstructure. The damage or failure of the expansion joint will lead to the decline of bridge durability and endanger the bridge structure and traffic safety. To improve the service life and performance of bridge expansion joints, the ideal method is to use seamless expansion joints. In this study, starting from the commonly used asphalt mixture gradation of seamless expansion joint, and taking into account the actual situation of bridge expansion joint structure and environment in China, the gradation and asphalt-aggregate ratio are preliminarily designed. Through a Marshall test, the corresponding asphalt mixture is evaluated and analyzed according to the stability, flow value, and void ratio, and the optimal gradation and asphalt-aggregate ratio are determined. Finally, the asphalt mixture is prepared with the mixture ratio design, and the test results of an immersion Marshall test, fatigue performance test, and full-scale test verify that the asphalt mixture meets the road performance requirements of seamless expansion joints. On the basis of the experimental data, the performance of large sample asphalt mixture is continuously tested, compared, and optimized. The results show that the asphalt mixture ratio designed is true and reliable, which can provide reference for the optimal design of seamless expansion joint filler.

In order to improve the durability of the asphalt pavement on a cement concrete bridge, this study investigated the effect of the modulus of the asphalt mixture at the bottom layer on the mechanical response of bridge pavement, along with a type of emerging bridge pavement structure. In addition, the design method and pavement performance of a high-modulus asphalt mixture were investigated using laboratory and field tests, and the life expectancy of the deck pavement structure was predicted based on the rutting deformation. The results showed that the application of a high-modulus asphalt mixture as the bottom asphalt layer decreased the stress level of the pavement structure. The new high-modulus asphalt mixture displayed excellent comprehensive performance, i.e., the dynamic stability reached 9632 times/mm and the fatigue life reached 1.65 million cycles. Based on the rutting depth prediction, using high-modulus mixtures for the bridge pavement prolonged the service life from the original 5 years to 10 years, which significantly enhanced the durability of the pavement structure. These research results could be of potential interest for practical applications in the construction industry.

norganic polymer concrete of a new environment-friendly material has been the hot issue in engineering research so far. For this new material, the main job of the paper includes: we design mixture ratios of inorganic polymer concrete by ourselves, testing the concrete in the age periods of 3, 7, 28 d. The results indicate that this kind of material strength develops mainly in the first 3 d, the strength grows slowly in the later stage; the dry shrinkage of the configured concrete properties are measured, the curve of dry shrinkage shows that the dry shrinkage occurs mainly in the first 14 d and develops slowly in the late; And measure the expansion performance of the concrete member mixed the different categories expansive agent, the results show that the volume growth of mortar specimens to join HCSA expansion agent are obvious; Test results provide a certain basis for the inorganic polymer concrete of micro expansion.
