The methods of controlling Highway semi-rigid base asphalt pavement cracks and other diseases are always hot fields of road engineering and academic circles. The existing methods are on some degree efficient on delaying the formation and extension of cracks, but the effect is limited with different methods and various mechanisms of preventing cracks. Base on force analysis of pavement, this article presents a new technology of crack controlling which uses intelligent composite materials interlayer. By adding a stress absorbing layer between the asphalt surface layers or the semi-rigid base layers with low modulus, good toughness, self-adaptability and self-control ability, the intelligent composite materials interlayer has a good effect on controlling cracks which has been proved by the theoretical calculations and experimental analysis. As a result, the intelligent composite materials interlayer could efficiently prevent and delay the formation and extension of cracks, the safety and comfort of highway could be improved significantly while the cost of construction and maintenance decreasing. And the service level and social image of the road could also be improved effectively. This research has important academic and application value.

In order to overcome the weakness of semi-rigidity base layer,the road performance of the SRX(Solution Road RomixSoilfix) stabilized base material and the mechanics response of asphalt pavement with the base layer stabilized by SRX have been studied in this paper. The CBR value and resilient modulus of SRX stabilized base material were given by indoor test. Based on the multiple layer elastic theory, both the mechanical responses of asphalt pavement structure with the SRX stabilized base and semi-rigid base were given, and according to the calculation results, the two kinds of pavement structure fatigue life were analyzed. The results have shown that the CBR value of SRX flexible material is greater than that of graded crushed stone; the SRX stable material can be used as pavement base layer, but the fatigue performance of SRX flexible base materials should be paid much attention.

The fiber is a reinforced material which has relatively light texture, high strength, is durable and wear-resistant, and widely used in the mixture of asphalt pavement. Adding different types of fibers in the construction, has a good effect in preventing cracks in the road, the performance of the road will also enhance. After the appropriate amount of fiber added to the asphalt mixture, fiber molecules will continuously and uniformly spread out, this time it will increase the anti-destructive of mixture, and will play an important role in protecting the road, preventing the road fracture. Related practices abroad show that adding fiber in asphalt mixture, every performance of the mixture will increase in different degrees. The diameter and density of different types of fibers will be different, of course, the reinforcing effect are not the same. This article describes application of a synthetic fibre in asphalt mixture, which is polyacrylonitrile fiber.

Cold recycling technology of old asphalt pavement is a relatively new technology which has important application in the road surface treatment. Combining with the application of the cold recycling technology in rural old asphalt pavement, this paper analyzes and elaborates its construction technology and experience approach. The existing old asphalt pavement material is used in accordance with the new design requirements to form a special pavement structure surface. On rolling forming sections, the test is conducted for compaction, smoothness, bending and sinking and drill-core sampling for compressive strength. The results show that this process meets the general requirements of pavement base, and the quality is good with the advantages of saving costs and reducing waste damaging the environment.

In this article, the three-dimensional finite element method was used to analyse the composite base asphalt pavement structure life, which setting the graded gravel layer between the asphalt surface layer and the semi-rigid base layer. The main effect considering on the service life were the face layer thickness, the graded gravel thickness ,the contact state and so on, and compared the compound base with typical semi-rigid base the service life of the asphalt pavement . The analysis shown that the road surface contact state was the biggest influence to the service life. When using reasonable pavement structure combination, composite base asphalt pavement generally wouldn't produce the service life of the decline .

In order to solve the rutting diseases of asphalt concrete pavement, latent heat materials for asphalt pavement were prepared and its controlling temperature performance was studied. Phase change materials (PCM), which were fitted to thermal environment of road were selected, phase change asphalt, diatomite powder and pottery sand granular composite phase change materials (CPCM) were prepared by three kinds of import modes. The CPCM were chosen by comparing the performance of above mentioned materials. Latent heat asphalt mixture (LHAM) was made by replacing mineral powder and fine aggregate with CPCM. Its controlling temperature ability was tested by temperature monitor system. The results show that, comparing to asphalt mixture, LHAM can reduce the temperature to 8-10°C. Therefore, the LHAM has a good effect on adjusting the road temperature.

In cold areas, semi-rigid base asphalt pavement is prone to generate reflection cracks due to thermal contraction and dry shrinkage, and the base layer cracks can cause surface layer cracking and shorten the service life of the pavement. Aiming at understanding the response characteristics of asphalt pavement structure under multi-axle loads in cold areas, this paper took semi-rigid base asphalt pavement and inverted-base asphalt pavement as the research objects, and employed ANSYS to conduct finite element analysis on them to figure out the response characteristics of the asphalt pavement structure under the condition of different multi-axle loads and graded macadam base course. The research results showed that, the action of multi-axal loads increased the tensile stress of the base layer of the asphalt pavement and the tensile stress of the base layer of the semi-rigid base asphalt pavement, and increased the road surface deflection, which had resulted in insufficient bearing capacity of the pavement structure, and thus causing significant damages to the asphalt pavement; analysis of the response characteristics of the two types of asphalt pavement showed that, adding a graded macadam base course as the stress-absorbing layer is conductive to reducing the tensile stress of the base layer of the semi-rigid base asphalt pavement and effectively delaying or inhibiting reflection cracks generating on the pavement. The study of this paper provided a theoretical reference for the design and construction of asphalt pavement.

Jalan Temanggung Tilung is a 2/2 UD type road (two undirected two-way lanes) with a road width of 5.5 meters, which is a connecting road between two major roads, namely the RTA road. Milono and the path of G. Obos. Over time, the volume of traffic through these roads increases every year, plus roadside activities that also increase cause congestion at several points of the way. To overcome this problem, the local government carried out road widening to increase the capacity and level of road services. The study was conducted to determine the amount of traffic volume, performance, service level of the Temanggung Tilung road section at peak traffic hours before and after road widening. Data retrieval is done by the direct survey to the field to obtain primary data in the form of geometric road data, two-way traffic volume data, and side obstacle data. Performance analysis refers to the 1997 Indonesian Road Capacity Manual (MKJI) for urban roads. From the results of data processing, before increasing the road (Type 2/2 UD), the traffic volume that passes through the path is 842 pcs/hour and after road widening (Type 4/2 UD) the traffic volume for two directions is 973 pcs/hour, with route A equaling 528 pcs/hour and direction B equaling 445 pcs/hour. Based on the analysis of road performance before road enhancement, the capacity = 2551 pcs/hour, saturation degree = 0.331, and the service level of the two-way road are level B. Based on the analysis of the performance of the way after increasing the way, the direction capacity A = 2686 pcs/hour and direction B = 2674 pcs /hour, saturation degree for direction A = 0.196 and direction B = 0.166, service level for road direction A and direction B increase to level A
