Study On Effect Of Fiber Stabilizers On Water Temperature Cycle Damage Resistance Of Drainage Asphalt Mixtures, Liu Fuming, Wu Di, He Qingde, Yang Zhiping

Journal of China & Foreign Highway

In order to study the effect of fiber stabilizer on the water temperature cycle damage resistance of drainage asphalt mixture, drainage asphalt mixture without fiber stabilizer and with wood fiber, polyester fiber, and basalt fiber, respectively, were compared through tests. By standard dispersion test and immersed dispersion test, the anti-spalling ability of the mixture was analyzed. Under the same asphalt condition, the standard dispersion loss of the drainage asphalt mixture was reduced to different degrees after adding fiber stabilizer, which could increase the anti-spalling property of the drainage asphalt mixture to some extent. The splitting, indirect tensile, and rutting tests …


Experimental Analysis On Recycling And Mechanical Properties Of Waste Cement, CHEN Liang 2023 Chongqing University of Posts and Telecommunications, Chongqing 400065, China

Experimental Analysis On Recycling And Mechanical Properties Of Waste Cement, Chen Liang

Journal of China & Foreign Highway

In order to recycle waste cement, construction waste cement materials were collected in the laboratory, and they were crushed, ground, and heat treated to facilitate reuse. Then, the waste cement was combined with the commonly used active fly ash admixture to prepare a new cement material for test analysis. The results show that the new cement material produced by industrial by-product, fly ash and waste cement material is feasible. A small amount of construction waste cement material (about 5%) can increase the 28-day compressive strength of cement by more than 50%, and the compressive strength of the prepared building material …

Influence Factors Of Deicing And Thaw Performance Of Asphalt Mixture With Low Freezing Point, Zhou Shuiwen, Lin Fang, Zhang Xiaohua, Zhang Lingbo, Jiang Haoqiu

Journal of China & Foreign Highway

The conductivity test was used to study the release law of thawing and deicing components. The freezing test was used to study the cooling law of the mixture, and the thawing rate test was used to study the thawing and deicing performance. The results show that the release of thawing and deicing components of materials with a low freezing point is temperature-dependent, and the release at the high temperature is 3.49–3.77 times that at the low temperature. The granular materials tend to dissolve in water, which results in the release rate of thawing and deicing components faster than that of …

Journal of China & Foreign Highway

In order to investigate the thermal properties of fast-growing grass fiber and its asphalt mortar, the physical properties and thermal properties of bamboo fiber, reed fiber, and its asphalt mortar were tested and compared with those of lignin fiber and its asphalt mortar by physical property test, thermal weight loss test, and differential scanning calorimetry test. The results show that the addition of plant fiber can effectively improve the high temperature performance of asphalt, but it has a slight inhibition effect on the low temperature performance of asphalt. The quality loss of plant fiber in different temperature ranges is the …


Study On Pavement Performance Of Waterborne Epoxy Emulsified Asphalt And Its Application In Micro‐Surface, JIANG Hai, LIU Dachang 2023 Hubei Liantou Exian Investment Co., Ltd., Ezhou, Hubei 436000, China

Study On Pavement Performance Of Waterborne Epoxy Emulsified Asphalt And Its Application In Micro‐Surface, Jiang Hai, Liu Dachang

Journal of China & Foreign Highway

In order to improve the pavement performance at micro-surface, waterborne epoxy resin was used to modify the emulsified asphalt, and the compatibility, microstructure, mechanical properties, rheological properties, and pavement performance of mixtures of the modified emulsified asphalt were studied. The storage stability test shows that the epoxy emulsion has good compatibility with emulsified asphalt. With the increase in waterborne epoxy resin content, the modified emulsified asphalt tends to form an epoxy resin-dominated skeleton structure. At the same time, with the increase in waterborne epoxy resin content, the adhesion and mechanical properties of emulsified asphalt and aggregate are significantly improved. At …

Evaluation Of Anti‐Cracking Performance Of Recycled Concrete With Recycled Rubber/Sbs Composite Modified Asphalt, Li Xiaobin

Journal of China & Foreign Highway

In order to improve the crack resistance of recycled asphalt mixture, a new styrenic block copolymer (SBS)/rubber composite modified asphalt with excellent crack resistance was proposed for the regeneration of reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP). Based on the creep of low temperature bending beam, confined temperature stress, and four-point bending fatigue test, the low temperature cracking resistance and fatigue cracking performance of composite modified asphalt and SBS-modified asphalt were studied. The results show that the addition of rubber can improve the low temperature and medium temperature crack resistance of recycled asphalt concrete, which may be related to the propagation of micro-cracks …

Study On The Effect Of Quicklime On The Properties Of Cold Mix Asphalt, Liu Tao, Yi Ming, Song Tao

Journal of China & Foreign Highway

The low initial strength of cold mixed asphalt mixture leads to the delay of traffic opening time, and the large void ratio leads to poor water stability and other problems, which seriously hinder the development of cold mixed environment-friendly construction mode. In this paper, based on the principle that the heat of quicklime in the presence of water promotes the rapid loss of water in the cold mixed mixture, the mixing test and cohesion test of the MS-3 slurry cold mixed asphalt mixture with quicklime were carried out to explore the influence of quicklime on the demulsification time and cohesion. …

Additive Manufacturing Of Engineered Cementitious Composites With Ultra-High Tensile Ductility, Amir Bakhshi 2023 University of New Mexico

Additive Manufacturing Of Engineered Cementitious Composites With Ultra-High Tensile Ductility, Amir Bakhshi

Civil Engineering ETDs

One of the critical factors in the development of additive manufacturing in the construction industry is designing suitable materials for 3D printing applications. 3D concrete printing (3DCP) has gained significant attention due to the abundance and availability of concrete. However, concrete is a brittle material and, without proper reinforcement, cannot meet the requirements for structural purposes. Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC), known for high ductility, and strain-hardening with low fiber contents, can potentially eliminate the need for steel reinforcement in 3D printing without any need for manual placement of reinforcement. A set of systematic tests on ECC mix designs' fresh and …
