Study on Performance of Epoxy Asphalt Concrete Applied in the Deck Pavement of Pingsheng Steel Bridge

Abstract

As a fair deck pavement material of its kind used in steel bridge, the epoxy asphalt concrete is considered much more superior to ordinary asphalt concrete in terms of road performance, while still greatly subject to the level of design and construction. Starting from a practical case of the epoxy asphalt concrete that has been applied in the deck pavement of Pingsheng Steel Bridge, this paper centers on a comprehensive study and discussion of the epoxy asphalt mixture, specifically in aspects of physical and mechanical performance test of stability under high temperature, performance under low temperature, tortuosity, immersion stability, linear contraction performance, fatigue performance and oil-erosion resistance performance. This will provide positive instruction for future deck pavements on steel bridges.
