Dynamic Characteristics of Rubber Powder Modified Cement Asphalt Mortar

Article Preview

Abstract:

Cement asphalt mortar (CA) is mainly applied in track system of high-speed railways for vibration attenuation. The impact on dynamics performance of CA with the admixture of rubber powder was studied. The beam specimen made of CA was manufactured for analyzing its vibration frequency and damping characteristics by free attenuation vibration tests. Results showed that there was no big change for fundamental frequency after admixture of rubber powder. However, high order frequency and structural damping increased with the increase of admixture amount. Damping ratio of CA was increased by admixing rubber powder, which can be better for energy absorption and vibration attenuation.
