Evaluated model and standard of segregation for asphalt mixture
TANG Xian, WANG She-liang, DAI Jing-liang
Abstract: The behavioral laws among particles were analyzed by using the fundamental theory of particle mechanics. A segregation model of asphalt mixture was established by using the angle of repose when it was piled. The calculation equation about the segregation index of potential energy was deduced. The index instrument was developed.The segregation index for asphalt mixture with maximum nominal particle size 16 mm was detected, and the standard of the segregation index was summarized by comparing test under different temperature conditions. Test result shows that the segregation index of potential energy is about 0.200, the compaction rate is about 0.40 near CA0.5, and they have least values.The mixture holds good workability and compacted-ability, which can decrease sharply the segregation during construction. The segregation grades of asphalt mixture are divided into no segregation, low segregation, middle segregation and high segregation in view of the standard. So the evaluated model and standard can be used to detect and differentiate the segregation of asphalt mixture at the spot.More>

Road performance of granite asphalt mixture
PENG Yu-hua, LIU Hui-xing
Abstract: The adhesion between granite aggregate and asphalt was evaluated by extending the boiling time and adding several kinds of anti-stripping agents. Taking the surface layer of granite asphalt mixture as the research objective, minor void volume was designed based on the target of water damage, and some tests including Marshall stability test, wheel rutting test, water stability test, accelerating aging test and Cantabro test were conducted under the conditions of adding MeadWestvaco, PA-1 and no adding anti-stripping agent. Test result shows that contrasted with no adding anti-stripping agent, granite asphalt mixture's stability, dynamic stability, residue stability and freeze-thaw splitting rate increase by 39.8%, 42.1%, 13% and 16% respectively, and its flying shards loss decrease by 4.4% in the condition of adding MeadWestvaco.While granite asphalt mixture's stability, dynamic stability, residue stability and freeze-thaw splitting rate increase by 14%, 22.9%, 8% and 12% respectively, and its flying shard loss decrease by 2.9% when adding PA-1. The technical indices of granite asphalt mixtures after accelerating aging test come up to the specifications when adding two kinds of anti-stripping agents.The study indicates that adding anti-stripping agent with good thermal stability is the key point to improve the road performance of the mixture, and the effect of MeadWestvaco is superior to that of PA-1. The way that mineral powder is replaced by 2% cement cannot fully meet the performance need of granite asphalt mixture.More>

WANG Shui-yin
Abstract: Referring to foreign LPDS shear test method, the influence of asphalt mixture, sticky layer material, semi-rigid base material, the interface of asphalt mixture and sticky layer material, the interface of viscous layer material and semi-rigid base on the shear strength between asphalt surface layer and semi-rigid base was studied with self-designed interior direct shear test and oblique shear test.The shear strength and the unit shear strength were the test evaluation indexes. It is shown that increasing the maximum nominal size and the compactness of asphalt mixture can improve interlayer bond strength. High strength, coarse and dense semi-rigid material can improve interlayer bond strength. Viscosity isn't main influence factor to select viscous layer materials, but the species and doses of viscous layer materials should be selected according to engineering practice test.Cleaning the surface of semi-rigid base is an important measure to improve bond interlayer's level.Prime coat should be sprinkled with 0.3~0.6 L·m-2 after the surface of semi-rigid base is cleaned. Casting single particle size, coarse specification and alkaline crushed stone above interlayer hot asphalt is easy to construct, and can improve interlayer bond strength.More>

Shear property demands of binding layer on concrete bridge pavement and simplified calculation
GU Xing-yu, WANG Wen-da
Abstract: The mechanical properties of several types of binding layers on concrete bridge pavements were analyzed by using finite element method, and the sensitivities between their shear strengths and several pavement parameters including thickness, modulus, lateral load and tire pressure were studied. The range of shear angle was obtained and a simplified calculation equation for the shear strength of bonding layer between pavement and concrete bridge was put forward. By varying shear angle from 25° to 65° during inner-door skew shearing experiment, the varying rules of shear strength of bonding layer with temperature were analyzed. Research result indicates that the thickness and lateral load are main influence factors for shear strength and shear angle, the shear property of bonding layer decreases rapidly with the increase of test temperature and shear angle, and the use of low modulus waterproofing roll with a certain thickness is disadvantageous to shear property. The sticking effect of bonding layer can be judged by the comparison of testing values and calculating values of shear strengths at different paving sites, which can be used to supervise the selection of water proofing binding layer.More>

TIAN Xiao-ge, LIN Du, WU Sun-de
Abstract: The needs of maintenance and overlay for Portland cement concrete pavement (PCCP) were considered, the current Chinese technical specifications of cement concrete pavement maintenance were analyzed, and new evaluation index system and method were put forward. Pavement condition index (PCI), running quality index (RQI) and international friction index (IFI) were used to evaluate the functional performance of PCCP. The ratio of broken plate (DBL), the resilience modulus of base course, the load transferring capacity of the joint and the ratio of voided plate were used to evaluate the structural status of PCCP. A systematic pavement performance evaluation model was established by using fuzzy complex matter element method, and the fuzzy in classification of every index was considered. The weight of each index was determined by integrating analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method and entropy method to consider data objectivity and classification subjectivity. Computation result shows that the maximum correlation degree of evaluated pavement is 0.562 4 to the medium grade, and the second largest correlation degree is 0.319 4 to the poor grade, which means that the state of evaluated pavement is medium closely to poor grade according to the principle of maximum correlation, and is fit with the actual situation. The result indicates that the evaluation index system and method are feasible.More>

The tests were carried on to analyze the influence of specimen thickness and molding ways on rutting depth. The result indicates that water and raising test temperature can accelerate rutting appearance. The correlation coefficients are over 0.93 when the specimens are in the water at 50 ℃ and in the air at 60 ℃. According to the application of asphalt types, the right test temperatures of B-grade asphalt, A-grade asphalt and modified asphalt are 45 ℃, 50 ℃ and 60 ℃ respectively. The rutting depth of 40 mm-thickness specimen is much larger than that of others, which is not applicable for experiments.The test result of SGC cylindrical specimen has good relationship with that of plate specimen, their correlation coefficient is more than 0.95, so it can be used to evaluate the rut-resistance of asphalt mixture instead of plate specimen.More>

LIU Yu-yu, GE Yu-mei, YANG Yi-ren
Abstract: Each car of monorail train was idealized as a dynamic system with 15 degrees of freedom and its differential equations were derived by using Lagrange formulation. Track beam was idealized as Euler beam.The governing equations of motion for the coupled system of straddle type monorail beam and train were derived based on the energy method and the concert conditions of the displacements between train and monorail beam. The dynamic responses of the coupled system was studied. The calculated result of dynamic response of monorail beam was compared with the test data at different speeds. The result shows that the effect of train speed on the deflections of beam are less than the effect on the acceleration. The acceleration increases with the increase of train speed and reaches the highest value at 40~50 km·h-1, then decreases with the increase of train speed. Tire model and the beam's surface roughness power spectral density function have greater effect on the calculated result of the lateral responses, and make computation error increase.More>

The procedure was completed by Microsoft Visual C++6.0. According to the primitive parameters of the frame, the specified load and the load cases of the standard UIC 615-4—2003, the allowable stress of material, the overall sizes of the frame and the geometric sizes of different sections were educed, and the biggest nominal stresses of the frame under the load cases were analyzed. Through the comparison of calculational stresses and allowable stresses, the rationality of the frame's structural sizes was inspected. Calculation result indicates that in the design process of the frame, according to the standards UIC 615-4—2003 and EN 13749—2005, under load cases 1~13, the von-Mises stresses are less than 230 MPa, which is the allowable stress of 16Mn material. Under load case 14, the von-Mises stress is less than 345 MPa, which is the yield limit of 16Mn material.The static strength of the frame meets the design requirements.Obviously, the design effectively defines the frame's geometric sizes, and improves the frame's design efficiency.More>

Abstract: Based on the statistics of road traffic accidents at home and abroad, the driver characteristics in fatigue driving, the time period distribution of accidents, and the main reasons of highway accidents were analyzed respectively. The effect of fatigue driving on operating actions and the reason of driver fatigue were studied, and the preventive measures of fatigue driving were put forward. Analysis result shows that male drivers under 30 years of age, the peoples with less than 3 years of driving ages and the peoples with about 10 years of driving ages are the colony who have more fatigue driving accidents than others. Most fatigue driving accidents happen approximately at 2:00 to 6:00 and 15:00 to 16:00, and the accident scales caused by fatigue driving on expressway are more higher than that on ordinary road.The causes of fatigue include prolonged driving, lack of sleep, circadian rhythms and driver factors.In order to prevent fatigue and reduce fatigue driving accidents, drivers are suggested to have sufficient sleep, a short rest, reasonable arrangements for travel time, and use fatigue warning devices.More>

Three models for pricing and calculating optimal compensation were established. The application of public transit pricing and compensation models was studied with Xi'an as an example. Analysis result indicates that the pricing and compensation model of marginal cost based on increasing returns to scale is identified as best social welfare and being the most practical, another model of supply-demand balance based on positive externalities can get optimum corporate welfare, and the model of Ramsey pricing and compensation based on second-best theory is better for explaining principles. The government compensation amount of Xi'an in 2009 is calculated at 978 million yuan, the outcome basically agrees with the actual demand, and the models are effective.More>
