Abstract

A frequent condition of cement concrete pavement at civil airports is slab cavity caused by surface water infiltration, which is a significant safety risk in the regular operation of airports. Mitigation methods to lessen surface water penetration is strongly required. This study examines the tensile and adhesive properties of custom-designed non-oil permeable creep rubber waterproofing (NCRW) material. Direct tensile tests were used to assess the tensile characteristics of NCRW material aged in various modes. Pull-off-healing tests were used to assess the adhesive and self-healing abilities of NCRW material treated with various aging modes to various slabs under various test situations. Fluorescence tests and infrared spectroscopy were also used to explore the aging mechanism of NCRW material. The results showed that NCRW material can offer good self-healing and anti-aging capabilities, as well as great tensile and adhesive properties, so it can meet the needs of airport pavement use. As a result, NCRW material is advised to be used in the airport pavement joints.
