Further, in the step (5), the selection of the group with the best overall mechanical property as the design grading refers to that the grading has a large uniaxial penetration critical load value and a large corresponding indenter displacement, the aggregate coordination number of the important part of the skeleton is in a reasonable range (for example, under a PAC-13 spherical particle model, the 9.5mm grade aggregate coordination number is between 7 and 8, the 4.75mm grade aggregate coordination number is between 3 and 4), the important contact proportion is large (for example, the contact between the 9.5mm grade and the 4.75mm grade aggregate), the proportion of the strong chain and the medium-strong chain is large, the probability of the medium-strong chain expanding at the end of the strong chain is large, the vertical displacement is small, and the total displacement is small.
Has the advantages that: according to the invention, a series of microscopic indexes related to the graded framework structure are obtained through a discrete element virtual test, important indexes such as the bearing capacity, coordination number, contact proportion, force chain network and displacement condition of the aggregate framework structure are comprehensively considered, the visualization of the framework structure is realized, the states of the framework structures under different grades can be visually observed, technical personnel are allowed to analyze and evaluate the current graded framework and make adjustment and selection in the design stage, the manpower, material resources and time consumed by an indoor test are saved, the problems of framework structure loss and low bearing capacity caused by the fact that the porosity is only concerned and the optimization of coarse aggregate composition is neglected in the graded design of the current drainage asphalt mixture are solved, and a guide and reference basis is provided for the graded design of the drainage asphalt mixture.
