In order to address water damage of asphalt pavement, reduce the occurrence of water-related potholes, deformation, and other diseases, and improve the performance and service life of the pavement, a nano-TiO2 superhydrophobic coating (PSC) on asphalt pavement was prepared from waterborne polyurethane and nano-TiO2 modified by stearic acid. FT-IR measured stearic acid successfully modified low surface energy substance on the surface of nano-TiO2. The SEM image shows that the PSC has a rough surface structure. The contact angle and rolling angle of the PSC in the contact angle test are 153.5° and 4.7°, respectively. PSC has a super-hydrophobic ability, which can improve the water stability of the asphalt mixture. Although the texture depth and pendulum value have been reduced by 2.5% and 4.4%, respectively, they all comply with the standard requirements. After the abrasion resistance test, the PSC coating still has a certain hydrophobic ability. These results surface PSC coating can effectively reduce water damage on asphalt pavement, and has considerable application value.

To improve the efficiency of the periodic surveys of the asphalt pavement condition, this study puts forward an intelligent method for automating the classification of pavement crack patterns. The new approach relies on image processing techniques and computational intelligence algorithms. The image processing techniques of Laplacian pyramid and projection integral are employed to extract numerical features from digital images. Least squares support vector machine (LSSVM) and Differential Flower Pollination (DFP) are the two computational intelligence algorithms that are employed to construct the crack classification model based on the extracted features. LSSVM is employed for data classification. In addition, the model construction phase of LSSVM requires a proper setting of the regularization and kernel function parameters. This study relies on DFP to fine-tune these two parameters of LSSVM. A dataset consisting of 500 image samples and five class labels of alligator crack, diagonal crack, longitudinal crack, no crack, and transverse crack has been collected to train and verify the established approach. The experimental results show that the Laplacian pyramid is really helpful to enhance the pavement images and reveal the crack patterns. Moreover, the hybridization of LSSVM and DFP, named as DFP-LSSVM, used with the Laplacian pyramid at the level 4 can help us to achieve the highest classification accuracy rate of 93.04%. Thus, the new hybrid approach of DFP-LSSVM is a promising tool to assist transportation agencies in the task of pavement condition surveying.

Under normal atmospheric pressure conditions, volume suddenly increases about 11% when the water freezes and decreased when the ice melts. The pressure can reach up to 2500 times of atmospheric pressure in the closed space when the water freezing. This is a very important characteristic of the natural world and the industrial. In low temperature condition, the snow on the pavement is easy to melt and freeze, and it will affect the road safety, increase the cracking of the road and accelerate asphalt pavement water damage. Bitumen is a mixture consisting of some extremely complex polymer hydrocarbons and hydrocarbon derivatives of non-metallic (oxygen, sulfur, nitrogen). Deicing salt is used to prevent freezing in that area, chloride salt is its main ingredient. When the water melting point reduced, it is not easy to icing but to penetrate the asphalt pavement. If the temperature is continued to reduce, salt solution will still freezing. At last, the pavement will form water damage in repeated freeze-thaw cycles conditions.

Flooding of pavements often causes damage that is invisible on the surface. A way to predict the condition of a pavement after flooding will be useful for agencies to make rational decisions about the need for closing a road to traffic or opening it up for cleaning and recovery work. In this study, the problem of flooded pavement assessment was formulated as a combination of hydraulic and structural analyses. A model was developed; it consisted of results from unsaturated hydraulic and layered elastic structural analyses. An interactive simulation was developed from the model and was made available on the web to users in the public domain. Simulations with the model showed significant impacts when subgrade layer moduli were below 50 MPa and layer thickness was less than 200 mm for the hot-mix asphalt (HMA) and less than 600 mm for the base. Axle loads exceeding 80 kN exacerbated damages and hazardous conditions. The time to reach conditions that will not lead to damage or failure within a short period of time depends on both the pavement conditions and the load magnitude. On the basis of thickness of surface HMA layer and soil subgrade moduli, restrictions of traffic could be placed on flooded pavements.
