An Experimental Research on the Pavement Performance of Regenerated Materials under Heavy Load

Abstract:

Along with the rapid development of highway, regenerated materials are used more frequently in highway engineering. Featured by low carbon and environmental protection, it confirms to the philosophy of sustainable development in China. However, the fast developing transport industry brings more heavy vehicles and heavy-load traffics take place commonly, thus causing diseases to China’s highway in advance. The major highway disease is wheel ruts. The appearance of wheel rut not only affects the service life of highway and the comfort level of driving, but also threatens driving safety, thereby causing huge losses and harmful effect. According to an investigation, 70% of highway suffers from the problem of wheel rut. High temperature and heavy load are two most important factors of wheel rut. This paper will take Tieling-Fuxin line for example to analyze the pavement performance and test the material performance of regenerated mixtures under different loads.
