Abstract
Glass fiber geogrid (GFG) is one of the most commonly used materials to mitigate reflective cracks in semi-rigid base asphalt pavement, but there are still some defects in the application of GFG at present. Therefore, GFG was optimized from the perspective of coating treatment. In this paper, the coating materials were firstly optimized from a variety of compounded emulsions (CE) composed of polymer and emulsified asphalt (EA). Then, the properties of the CE and the effect of CE on performances of GFG were studied. The results show that the weighted average particle size, contact angle, viscosity and coating uniformity of polyacrylate compound emulsion (PA-CE) are smaller, higher, higher and better than those of styrene-butadiene compound emulsion (SB-CE), respectively. The GFG impregnated by PA-CE (PA-GFG) has better strength, folding resistance and durability than the GFG impregnated by SB-CE (SB-GFG) and GFG impregnated by EA (EA-GFG). The interlaminar bonding performances and resistance to reflective cracks from flexural-tensile loading of PA-GFG and SB-GFG are not significantly different, while the resistance to reflective cracks from shear loading of PA-GFG is higher than that of SB-GFG.
