Abstract

Sets of cold-filled SMA-13 asphalt mixture were designed by means of orthogonal design method. The bending and low temperature creep tests of the cold-filled SMA-13 asphalt mixture were carried out. The related models of the fractal dimension and the road performance evaluation index including low temperature bending failure strain εB and bending strength RB are established by using fractal theory. The model can be used to predict the low temperature performance of cold-filled SMA-13 asphalt mixture according to the design gradation, which can reduce the test workload and improve the working efficiency, so as to provide the reference for engineering design.

Summary

Introduction

The heat compensation method is not suitable for construction in a humid, low temperature environment and pollutes the environment. On the basis of the previous research results at home and abroad, the research group, combined with the characteristics of climate, transportation and materials in Northeast China, independently research and develop cold-filled asphalt mixture suitable for the freezing period and with good road performance. Cold-filled asphalt mixture low-temperature performance is an important component of road performance, especially for the northeastern region. If the correlation model between cold-filled asphalt mixture fractal dimension and low temperature performance evaluation index can be established, the low temperature performance. Based on the correlation analysis between the fractal dimension and the evaluation index of low temperature performance, the low temperature performance prediction model is established and the low temperature performance prediction model of cold-filled SMA-13 asphalt mixture is recommended through the comparison of multiple models [1]
