Variable Speed Limit Control Method For Highway Under Dense Fog, Sun Jiancheng, Qiao Jiaxing Mar 2023

Variable Speed Limit Control Method For Highway Under Dense Fog, Sun Jiancheng, Qiao Jiaxing

Journal of China & Foreign Highway

In order to solve the problem of traffic safety on expressways under dense fog and change the original fixed speed limit measures, a variable speed limit control method based on the safe allowable speed was proposed. The speed limit value was calculated based on the regulations in road traffic safety law on the speed under dense fog by considering that the traffic law does not mention the road alignment conditions, road conditions, and other factors, and the monitor data was used to approximate replace the data of individual vehicles for data optimization, and the safe speed and safe distance of …

Application Of Digital Image Processing In Cracks Of Concrete Pavement, Gao Fan, He Chunguang, Wang Pengzhang, Qin Yanping, Duo Huaqiong Mar 2023

Application Of Digital Image Processing In Cracks Of Concrete Pavement, Gao Fan, He Chunguang, Wang Pengzhang, Qin Yanping, Duo Huaqiong

Journal of China & Foreign Highway

The image obtained by using the traditional crack detection method of concrete pavement has some problems, such as low contrast and high noise, which makes it difficult to meet the requirements of modern road engineering management or non-destructive testing. In order to eliminate the interference in crack images, digital image processing technology was used to improve the image quality through computers. This paper took digital image processing as the core and introduced its development and application in pavement cracks. Based on the research progress and achievements of digital image processing on pavement cracks in recent years, the principles and characteristics …

Design And Experimental Study On Special Spherical Support Of Pingtang Bridge, Tang Zhi, Ma Baihu, Du Bin, Xu Xiangdong, Xia Junyong Mar 2023

Design And Experimental Study On Special Spherical Support Of Pingtang Bridge, Tang Zhi, Ma Baihu, Du Bin, Xu Xiangdong, Xia Junyong

Journal of China & Foreign Highway

The vertical bearing capacity of the 16# pier of Pingtang Bridge is 10 000 kN, and the horizontal bearing capacity along the bridge is 12 000 kN, which is 120% of the vertical bearing capacity. The support angle needs to reach the technical parameter requirements of 0.05 rad, which far exceeds the requirements of 10–40% horizontal force of conventional highway supports. According to the specific engineering situation, a new type of support with a large horizontal bearing capacity was designed. Firstly, the finite element model of the support was established to analyze the mechanical properties of the support, and the …

Study On Practical Method Of Safety Assessment For Bridges Under Heavy‐Cargo Transportation, Jiang Xu, Wang Wanfeng, He Zhensheng, Gao Xuefeng Mar 2023

Study On Practical Method Of Safety Assessment For Bridges Under Heavy‐Cargo Transportation, Jiang Xu, Wang Wanfeng, He Zhensheng, Gao Xuefeng

Journal of China & Foreign Highway

In order to meet the requirements of the industry for the high efficiency, safety, and reliability of the traffic safety assessment of heavy-duty vehicles, this paper proposed a method that combined a real-time monitoring system with a finite element method for the traffic safety assessment of heavy-duty vehicles on bridges and verified the method through practical projects. The paper evaluated the bridge’s technical condition level before the heavy-duty vehicle passes and determined the resistance reduction factor considering the bridge’s technical condition level. The finite element analysis model of the bridge was established, and the reliability of the model was verified …

Study On Pavement Performance Of Waterborne Epoxy Emulsified Asphalt And Its Application In Micro‐Surface, Jiang Hai, Liu Dachang Mar 2023

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 …

Study On Road Performance Of High Content Phosphogypsum Cement Stabilized Red Clay, Yang Dezhong, Chen Kaisheng, Li Qiang Aug 2022

Study On Road Performance Of High Content Phosphogypsum Cement Stabilized Red Clay, Yang Dezhong, Chen Kaisheng, Li Qiang

Journal of China & Foreign Highway

In response to the waste of phosphogypsum resources and engineering characteristics of red clay, by referring to the mix ratio design method of fly ash mixtures, 18 sets of mix ratio samples were set up indoors. By conducting compaction tests, seven-day unconfined compression strength tests, water-stability tests, and CBR tests, exploratory research was conducted on the road performance of high content phosphogypsum stabilized red clay. The results indicate that the optimal water content of high content phosphogypsum stabilized red clay is lower than that of plain red clay. The seven-day unconfined compression strength is 1.8-3.7 times that of plain red …
