To comprehensively investigate the integrated structural and material design of the epoxy asphalt mixture used in steel bridge deck pavement, the following works have been conducted: 1. The strain level of steel bridge deck pavement was calculated; 2. The ultimate strain level of fatigue endurance for epoxy asphalt concrete was measured; 3. The effect of water tightness of epoxy asphalt mixture on the bonding performance of steel plate interface was tested. 4. For better performance evaluation, quantitative analysis of the anti-skid performance of epoxy asphalt mixture was carried out by testing the structure depth using a laser texture tester. Results show the following findings: 1. The fatigue endurance limit strain level of epoxy asphalt mixture (600 με) was higher than that of the steel bridge deck pavement (<300 με), indicating that the use of epoxy asphalt concrete has better flexibility and can achieve a longer service life in theory; 2. The epoxy asphalt concrete has significant water tightness to protect the steel plate interface from corrosion and ensure good bonding performance; 3. The porosity of epoxy asphalt mixture used in steel bridge deck paving should be controlled within 3%; 4. In terms of anti-skid performance of bridge deck pavement, the FAC-10 graded epoxy asphalt mixture is recommended when compared with EA-10C.

Epoxy asphalt concrete (EAC) is a widely used steel bridge deck pavement (SBDP) material. Due to the curing reaction, the EAC-based material needs a long curing period before opening to traffic, which in an inconvenience in the construction of SBDP. This study developed a cold mix high-early-strength (CHES) epoxy asphalt through the design of a compatilizer and curing agent system. The optimum formula of CHES epoxy asphalt was determined through a series of laboratory tests. By comparison of the performances of CHES EAC and some conventional EACs for SBDP, it was found that the developed CHES epoxy asphalt can significantly reduce the curing period, and the pavement performance of CHES EAC is, overall, excellent for application in SBDP. In addition, the sufficient allowable construction duration shows that the CHES EAC has a good construction workability.

As a fair deck pavement material of its kind used in steel bridge, the epoxy asphalt concrete is considered much more superior to ordinary asphalt concrete in terms of road performance, while still greatly subject to the level of design and construction. Starting from a practical case of the epoxy asphalt concrete that has been applied in the deck pavement of Pingsheng Steel Bridge, this paper centers on a comprehensive study and discussion of the epoxy asphalt mixture, specifically in aspects of physical and mechanical performance test of stability under high temperature, performance under low temperature, tortuosity, immersion stability, linear contraction performance, fatigue performance and oil-erosion resistance performance. This will provide positive instruction for future deck pavements on steel bridges.

Epoxy asphalt concrete has been widely used in China as an excellent paving material on long-span steel bridges. Analysis of its low-temperature thermal stress can be a more accurate grasp of pavement low temperature stress condition. The bending creep test of epoxy asphalt mixture was carried out at low temperatures to obtain the creep compliances and determine the relaxation module. Then the principal curves of the relaxation module were regressed in a form of Prony progression expression by Matlab. The relaxation module was further converted to the parameters needed in the viscous-elastic module in ANSYS software. Finally, a three-dimensional full-scale Finite Element model for steel box girder and asphalt overlay was constructed to analyze the stress scenario under low temperatures for the duration of 48 hours. The maximum temperature stress was only 2.45 MPa at a temperature of -20.4°C and thus no shrinkage cracks will occur.

The fatigue equations of epoxy asphalt concrete at different temperatures were obtained. Findings from the research indicate that the epoxy asphalt concrete is a suitable material for the pavement of long-span steel bridges in China due to its profound performance.

Fatigue cracks are main damages to steel bridge deck pavement with thermosetting epoxy asphalt. By combining a high-toughness resin material with fiber woven fabrics, this study formed an ultrathin overlay of fiber-reinforced high-toughness resin to improve cracking resistance of pavement. Through theoretical measurement and bending test, this research studied change laws of bending and tensile properties of epoxy asphalt concrete after fiber reinforcement and analyzed bending strength and the maximum failure strain of beams at different temperatures. Moreover, the reinforcing effects of different fibers were discussed. It is found that bending strength, maximum failure strain, and stiffness modulus of the beams with epoxy asphalt are improved after fiber reinforcement. With the decrease of temperature, after fiber reinforcement, the mode of bending failure of the epoxy asphalt mixture (EAM) changes from brittle fracture into shear failure, accompanied with significant yield phenomenon. Furthermore, organic carbon fiber is sensitive to influences of temperature, while glass fiber is least sensitive to temperature.
