Resin asphalt mixture has become increasingly popular as a paving material on long-span bridges in China, due to its sound properties and economic advantages. Typically, the material is mixed and paved under normal temperature with aggregates, directly taken from stockpiles exposed to open air. However, such aggregates usually contain moisture which may influence the adhesion between aggregates and asphalt binder. The sessile drop method, column wicking technique, rutting test, indirect tensile test, and three point bending beam test were adopted to experimentally investigate properties of the resin asphalt mixture using wet aggregates. Test results show that moisture in aggregates weakens the adhesion between resin asphalt and aggregates and negatively affects properties of the resin asphalt mixture. In order to minimize the negative effect of aggregate moisture, quick lime was added into resin asphalt mixture. Ensuing tests indicate that quick lime can mitigate the negative influence-of aggregate moisture on properties of the resin asphalt mixture. Therefore, addition of quick lime is an effective approach to improve properties of the resin asphalt mixture when mixed with wet aggregates under normal cold temperature. (C) 2016 Elsevier Ltd.

Study on fracture behaviour of basalt fibre reinforced asphalt concrete with plastic coupled cohesive model and enhanced virtual crack closure technique model

Peng Cao, Changbing Tang, Zai Liu, Feiting Shi, Ziyu Wang, Xuhao Wang, Changjun Zhou

Summary: In this study, the fracture behavior of basalt fiber reinforced asphalt concrete (BFRAC) was investigated using the plastic coupled cohesive model and enhanced virtual crack closure technique (VCCT). The study showed that both the plastic coupled cohesive model and the enhanced VCCT model accurately simulate the load-cracking mouth opening displacement (P-CMOD) curves. The enhanced VCCT model, coupled with the Ramberg-Osgood elasto-plastic harden model, shows promise for studying the physical mechanism of the nonlinear fracture of BFRAC.

Multilayer Microstructure Characterization of the Interfacial Transition Zone between Polymer-Modified Magnesium Phosphate Cement and Portland Cement

Fei Liu, Baofeng Pan, Changjun Zhou

Summary: This study characterizes and analyzes the interface performance between magnesium phosphate cement (MPC) and portland cement concrete (PCC), which is used as a fast-setting material for rapid repair. The elastic modulus of the interfacial transition zone (ITZ) is measured using nanoindentation technology, and the heterogeneity and stratification in the ITZ are characterized using Raman spectroscopy and nanoindentation test. The content of each material composition is explored using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive spectrometer (EDS) experiment. The study also reveals the presence of adhesion-like substances in the cracks, indicating a certain self-healing ability of the polymer-modified magnesium phosphate cement (PMPC). The simulation results suggest that different microstructure analysis methods are needed depending on the hydration stratification of the ITZ.

Effects of air entraining agent on the rheological properties and electrochemical parameters of cement mortar

Liang Cao, Feiting Shi, Mingzhu Qiu, Wen Chen, Peng Cao, Changjun Zhou

Summary: The rheological properties of cement mortar are indirectly affected by the air entraining agent (AEA) used to improve fluidity. This study explores how AEA influences the physicochemical mechanism of cement mortar's fluidity. The results show that AEA increases the consistency of cement mortar and changes its rheological parameters in a more complicated manner. The resistance of cement mortar increases with higher AEA dosage. The unique electrochemical response observed in the EIS curve suggests a correlation between resistance, consistency, and rheological parameters that varies with AEA dosage. SEM observations reveal two forms of bubbles introduced by AEA: individual distribution and bubble bridge.

Experimental investigation on the performance of the asphalt mixture with ceramic fiber

Fei Liu, Baofeng Pan, Jiaruo Bian, Changjun Zhou

Summary: In this study, a ceramic fiber modified asphalt mixture (CFMAM) was developed using three types of industrial waste ceramic fibers. The CF-A and CF-C showed positive influences on the mechanical properties and pavement performance of the asphalt mixture, while CF-B had fewer positive influences. CFMAM with CF-A exhibited better properties than CF-B, CF-C, and virgin asphalt binder. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis confirmed the good wettability and dispersibility of the fiber and asphalt in the mixture.

Fei Liu, Baofeng Pan, Changjun Zhou, Yiren Sun, Chengzhe Song

Summary: This paper investigates the fracture problem of the interfacial transition zone (ITZ) between magnesium phosphate cement (MPC) mortar and old Portland cement concrete (PCC) pavements after repairing.

Nanoindentation experiments are conducted to obtain the elastic moduli of the ITZs, and finite element analysis (FEA) confirms the weakest position in the repair interface. A two-dimensional model is developed to validate the fracture model, and simulation results show good agreement with the theoretical solution.

Early-Age Cracking Resistance of Multiscale Fiber-Reinforced Concrete with Steel Fiber, Sisal Fiber, and Nanofibrillated Cellulose

Qi Cao, Haibo Zheng, He Ju, Zhibin Lin, Changjun Zhou, Jinqing Jia

Summary: This paper studies the cracking control effect of a macro-nano multiscale cracking prevention system formed by using natural green sisal fiber and nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC) instead of steel fiber. The results show that sisal fiber with 0.4% volume content has the same improvement on early-age cracking of concrete as steel fiber with 1% volume content. Using sisal fiber instead of steel fiber can significantly improve cracking resistance, reduce cost and weight, and protect the environment. Sisal fiber and nanofibrillated cellulose also play a good role in delaying and controlling cracking development of concrete.

Study on the mechanical performance damage in laboratory-simulated periodic salt environment for asphalt concrete

Qi Jiang, Wei Liu, Shaopeng Wu, Xuanwen Gou

Summary: This study analyzes the erosion mechanisms of NaCl solution on asphalt concrete and finds that NaCl solution softens asphalt and promotes the intrusion of crystalline salt into it. Salt crystallization alters the surface roughness of aggregates, resulting in a decrease in skid resistance but an improvement in compressive strength. Additionally, the concentration of NaCl solution initially has no significant impact on the mechanical performance of asphalt concrete, but its domination gradually increases with the intensification of cyclic effects.

Experimental study on tensile behaviors of cracked ultra-high performance concrete under freezing and thawing

Lili Kan, Lan-qing Dai, Ning Kong, Bin Peng, Fei Wang

Summary: This paper investigates the effect of freezing and thawing cycles on the tensile behavior of cracked ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC). The results show that long-term freezing and thawing action deteriorates the cracking strength, tensile strength, tensile strain, and strain energy of cracked UHPC. On the other hand, the action of water generally favors the development of tensile properties of UHPC. The crack distribution tends to be unsaturated under freezing and thawing environment, and the re-hydration reaction is hindered. The pore structure near the crack varies under different environments.
