Steel Deck

There are many diseases in the deck pavement of long-span steel bridges under the action of vehicles, rainwater, and freezing. It is necessary to study a new type of pavement material with high waterproof property, light weight, and high bonding performance for steel deck pavement. Polyurethane cement composite (PUC) can be used for steel deck pavement. In order to find out the temperature effect on fatigue properties of PUC, the four-point bending fatigue test was carried out at different temperatures. In this paper, the optimum mix ratio of PUC was selected by compressive and flexural tests, and then the bending fatigue test was conducted under strain control mode. Under temperature and external force coupling condition, a method for predicting fatigue life of PUC is proposed by the combination of theoretical deduction and experimental research. The results show that the proposed formula can effectively describe the fatigue life and fatigue limit of PUC. Finally, compared with three different asphalt mixtures for steel deck pavement, it is found that the fatigue performance of polyurethane cement is better than that of asphalt mixture.

This study aims to evaluate the fatigue performance of modified asphalt mixture using Indirect Tensile Fatigue Test. Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) powder in a form of rutile was used for producing asphalt concrete with lower mixing and compaction temperature compared to conventional hot mix asphalt without reducing its physical and mechanical also resistance to fatigue. The characteristic of the asphalt and modified asphalt was evaluated using penetration test, softening test and rotational viscosity test. Titanium dioxide of 2%, 4%, 6%, 8% and 10% by weight of asphalt has been incorporated into unaged 80/100 asphalt mix in order to improvise its performance and to fulfill the objectives of this experimental study. As a result, TiO2 as an additive is potential to decrease the penetration and increasing the softening point of the asphalt. In terms of fatigue performance testing, addition TiO2 additive does help in improving the fatigue properties as it shows greater result than the control asphalt. In conclusion, TiO2 is great in improving fatigue properties.

In order to study the effect of tourmaline on asphalt mixture design indexes, the optimal asphalt content of modified asphalt mixture with different contents of tourmaline were determined through Marshall Test, and the variation of optimal asphalt content caused by tourmaline was analyzed. The effect of tourmaline on density, porosity, VMA, VFA, stability, flow value were studied. Under the guidance of surface theory and mortar theory respectively, the Marshall Volume indicators of tourmaline modified asphalt mixture were analyzed comparatively. A mix design method for asphalt mixture modified inorganic powder is recommended.

The SMC cold temperature asphalt mixture consumed less energy and harmful emission compares with the traditional HMA and WMA, and it can be worked at the subzero temperature or after a long time storage, which makes the construction and maintenance of the asphalt pavement in a special environment (low temperature) and special conditions (without a hot mix station) come true. It has been widely used in Beijing, Xinjiang, Sichuan, Tibet, etc. with a satisfied performance. Highway construction and maintenance technology level of China would be positively promoted by using the SMC asphalt mixtures.

Low Temperature Performance

To improve the low-temperature performance of RET (Reactive Elastomeric Terpolymer) modified asphalt mixture (RETM), polyurethane prepolymer (PUP) was used by wet process, ground waste rubber (GWR) and fibers were used by dry process. Tests of force ductility, bending beam rheometer (BBR), differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), viscosity and multiple stress creep recovery (MSCR) were conducted to study the effects of PUP on the performance of RET modified asphalt (RETA), and beam bending test was conducted to study the effects of GWR and fibers on the performance of RETM. Then, tests of beam bending, wheel tracking, Marshall immersion, freeze-thaw splitting, and economic analysis were further conducted to compare the performance and economy of RETM modified with optimum modifiers suggested. All modifiers improve the low-temperature performance of RETM. PUP content, the content and size of GWR and the content and type of fibers significantly affect the performance of RETA or RETM respectively. After analysis, 10% PUP, 2.1% 80 mesh GWR and 0.2% polyester (PE) fiber are considered as the optimum modifiers, respectively. Comparison results show that optimum modifiers variously improve the low-temperature performance, rutting resistance and moisture susceptibility of RETM, but they slightly reduced the economy of RETM. Comprehensive evaluation shows that 2.1% 80 mesh GWR and 10% PUP are better than 0.2% PE fiber.

To solve the problem of rutting and fatigue damage to asphalt pavement, rutting and fatigue performances of Qingchuan rock asphalt modified asphalt were studied, based on the dynamic shear rheometer test, the dynamic creep test, the rutting test, the indirect tensile fatigue test, the small-sized acceleration loading test, the compressive resilient modulus test, the BISAR3.0 Program and the rutting calculation method based on dynamic finite element method. The results indicate that Qingchuan rock asphalt modifier can obviously improve the anti-fatigue performance and anti-rutting performance of asphalt pavement. Taking the anti-rutting performance and the raw-material price of asphalt into consideration, a rock asphalt optimum content ranging from 5% to 8% is suggested. Qingchuan rock asphalt is a good modifier to solve the rutting and the fatigue damage of asphalt pavement.
