Resistance to Permanent Deformation and Low-temperature Cracking of Porous Asphalt Mixture Using the Tafpack Super Additive Cao Tingwei1,a, Wu Shaopeng1,b , Chen Mingyu1,c, Lin Juntao1,d 1 Key Laboratory of Silicate Materials Science & Engineering of Ministry of Education, Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan 430070, China a caotw@whut.edu.cn, bwusp@whut.edu.cn,cclyde_cm@163.com,d flin3479@126.com Keywords: Permanent deformation, Low-temperature cracking, Unconfined static uniaxial creep, Three-point bending, Porous asphalt mixture, TPS additive Abstract.
Porous asphalt mixtures with TPS additive indicate excellent temperature susceptibility and can be applied to a wider field of road engineering.
In addition, the decrease of the creep strain and the increase of the stiffness due to TPS in creep test also demonstrated the brittleness effect at high temperature, which indicates the improvement of permanent deformation resistance of the porous asphalt using TPS. 2) The brittleness temperature of porous asphalt mixtures using TPS additive is almost the same as compared to the conventional porous asphalt mixture in the three-point bending test. 3) The flexural strength-strain response curves demonstrate that the porous asphalt mixtures with TPS additive can be more effective on cracking resistance at low temperature due to the high strain level observed. 4) The TPS additives are good for porous asphalt mixture and could be applied in a wider field of road engineering.

The objective of this study is to examine the possibility of using DSS in the engineering design of a special group of building constructions: 'cladded roofs'.
This way the structural problem to be solved is also continuously changing; it has a unique character which cannot do without innovation and creativity in the field of structural engineering.

Jiangsu Huaiyin Constrction of Hydroproject Limited Company, Huaian 223005, China) Key words: South - Suining two stations; analysis of crack initiation; Treatment; strategy; research Abstract:For projects, especially large-scale projects, due to the long time of project construction, the construction of the complexity of the geological conditions, sometimes inevitably lead to quality defects.How scientific and reasonable quality defects hidden works to take remedial measures, or effective correction to restore the loss of time, cost, quality, safety,become an important engineering problem.
In addition,the engineering concrete pouring use pump, the consumption of cement is larger,the slump is also large(generally 13 ~ 15cm),this is also a reason for crack. 2.2 the repair method of crack The project plans to use SHO-BOND's BICS (wall) method to repair the cracks,this construction method has the advantages of convenient operation,and reliability is well,it has used many times in large and medium-sized water conservancy project,and the effect is very good. 2.2.1 Surface treatment Tool:wire brush, cloth, steel, hammer.construction process: use steel wire brush to clean up along the cracks of concrete surface width of 5 cm range,carefully remove the laitance, moss, dust.Concrete surface quality bad, there are more subtle seam cracking of the two sides, should clean up to 8 ~ 10 cm wide.Use hammer and drill rod chiseling the concrete blocks and grains on both sides of the loose，make the concrete surface exposed.Remove surface dust with a slightly damp cloth and dry thoroughly.The
