Background
In the construction of the highway, the asphalt pavement has the characteristics of short construction period, no joint, low noise, easy maintenance and the like, so that the utilization rate of the constructed and newly-built highway reaches over 90 percent. Although the asphalt pavement is designed and constructed according to the specifications, the early-stage pavement damage phenomenon happens occasionally. The Marshall design method is the most commonly used asphalt mixture design method in China, various indexes of the asphalt mixture obtained by the traditional Marshall compaction method cannot truly simulate various performances of a real pavement in a use state, and the Marshall design method has the following problems:
(1) the traditional indoor forming mode is not in accordance with the working condition of on-site rolling
As is known, the indoor test can simulate the actual construction conditions on site to the maximum extent, so that the test result can effectively represent the road performance. However, the traditional indoor forming method adopts a Marshall compaction method to form a test piece, and determines the optimal oilstone ratio through the volume index and the mechanical index of the test piece by a static pressure method, which is completely inconsistent with the working condition of a large-tonnage compacting machine adopted in the actual pavement compacting process.
(2) The actual compaction effect is different from the compaction standard
Compaction is a key link in the construction and production construction of the asphalt pavement, and poor compaction results in large pavement void ratio and low strength, which causes the asphalt pavement to have water damage, rutting and other damage phenomena, and is related to the pavement performance of the asphalt pavement. Therefore, the research on the compaction characteristics of the mixture is one of the most important tasks for improving the quality of the asphalt pavement.
(3) Quality control indicators not matching road performance requirements
The Marshall design method calculates the volume index and the mechanical index of the test piece by the static pressure method through the Marshall test, thereby searching the best state in each index and determining the best oilstone ratio. Only static mechanical indexes are emphasized in the design process, so that the stability and flow value indexes meet the requirements, but the asphalt pavement is damaged early or the service life of the design is difficult to guarantee.
In conclusion, the prior research on the asphalt pavement is concentrated on macroscopic research, and the research on the asphalt mixture from a single aspect is not enough to explain a series of problems of the current asphalt pavement. In addition, the forming control standard of the indoor test is still the previous compaction standard, and the performance verification is to test the conventional mechanical index according to the original traditional method, which is obviously not in accordance with the performance requirement on the current highway.
Therefore, a new device is needed to be provided to simulate the rolling condition of the asphalt mixture construction site more truly and well solve the consistency between the indoor forming mode and the rolling under the site working condition.
