A stochastic optimization approach for the selection of reflective cracking mitigation techniques

PurposeIn Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) overlays, the existing cracks in the underlying pavements can propagate upward to the new added overlay and may cause Reflective Cracks (RC). These cracks allow water infiltration to the underlying layers and causes further moisture damage as well as weakening the unbound layers. Over the years, several methods have been developed for mitigating the RCs. This study aims to investigate the current reflective cracking mitigation methods and develop a methodology for the selection of appropriate mitigation technique. The developed model is then applied to a case study in the state of Florida.MethodTo accomplish this goal, a nationwide literature review was conducted to better understand the current in practice methods in the United States. Moreover, a life cycle cost analysis (LCCA) in five different road types was performed to find the annuity of roadway rehabilitation for each of the mitigation methods. The uncertainty in the LCCA results is represented using Exploratory Modeling and Analysis (EMA) method. Then through a Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) model, a stochastic optimization model was developed to find the appropriate reflective cracking mitigation solution under Florida’s climate and road conditions, based on different cost and performance weights.ResultsBased on the available data for the state of Florida, the LCCA results indicate that the annuity of maintaining the roadway with Fabrics and ISAC are lower compared to other methods. However, the results of stochastic optimization model reveal that while looking at the performance and cost at the same time, different methods would be more feasible. For instance, while the cost of the used method does not matter at all and only performance matters, STRATA® is more probable to be the appropriate mitigation technique. The findings of this research are critical for decision makers to better understand the most cost-effective mitigation technique in different conditions.

基于脆性涂层法的沥青路面反射裂缝试验研究

采用脆性涂层法研究沥青路面的反射裂缝,并将试验结果与有限元计算结果进行了比较。结果表明,脆性涂层的裂纹围绕着碎石与沥青胶砂的界面发展,在该界面位置拉应力高度集中;路面基层的裂缝顶部附近发生应力集中,应力集中区的碎石与沥青胶砂界面是最容易萌发裂纹引发裂缝扩展破坏的部位;脆性涂层的裂纹分布总体是从车轮作用面向四周扩散,并围绕大粒径碎石扩展,弯拉型反射裂缝与剪切型反射裂缝涂层裂纹分布明显不同;大粒径的沥青混合料抗反射裂缝能力较强。

深圳市留仙大道跨丽水东路桥检测评估

深圳市留仙大道跨丽水东路桥上部结构采用30 m预应力混凝土空心简支板梁,施工完成后发现边板外侧存在比较严重的裂缝。介绍对梁体进行的检测、荷载试验,以及对桥梁上部结构及开裂截面的实际受力状况的分析。结果表明:边梁由于截面横向不对称而产生的斜弯曲是其外侧出现开裂的主要原因,这些裂缝不影响上部结构的整体刚度、受力状况及结构承载能力,对截面的局部应力状况有一定影响。     

青藏公路路基纵向裂缝病害及其发生规律

路基裂缝病害是青藏公路上继沉降以后的第二大类型路基病害,此种类型的病害与公路左右两侧的太阳辐射差异密切相关。病害统计结果表明,发生在阳侧的路基纵向裂缝有22.5条,占总裂缝条数的70.0%,占路基纵向裂缝总长度的65.0%;其次,从病害发生路段的道路走向来看,路基纵向裂缝病害主要发生在走向为S90°、W S60°、W S30°、EW 0°和ES60°的路段,在走向为ES30°的路段上仅发生1条路基纵向裂缝。路基纵向裂缝与走向间的这一关系主要与高原上特殊的太阳辐射日变化规律和青藏公路主体走向有关。
