Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of asphalt mixtures, and in particular to a coarse aggregate gradation design method for asphalt mixtures based on microscopic mechanical properties, a computer device and a storage medium. Background Art

[0002] Asphalt mixture gradation is directly related to its road performance. If the gradation is too fine, flow deformation is likely to occur at high temperature, which will then evolve into rutting disease; if the gradation is too coarse, the void ratio is large, which is not only easy to segregate during construction, but also prone to water damage disease in later use. Therefore, the best design gradation should have excellent mechanical properties, and the gradation design should be carried out based on the mechanical properties.

[0003] However, the current gradation design is mainly carried out based on volume indicators or experience, which can be divided into the following categories:

[0004] 1. Design using the CAVF method. The basic idea of ​​the CAVF method is to use asphalt mortar as a filler to fill the voids of the main aggregate, so that the sum of the volume of fine aggregate, the volume of asphalt, the volume of mineral powder and the void volume of the designed mixture is equal to the measured void volume of the main skeleton. The idea is that the main aggregate plays an interlocking role, the fine aggregate plays a filling role, and the proportion of each grade of coarse aggregate is determined by the packing density with different dosages. The default is that the packing density is the largest and the interlocking effect is the best. Its disadvantages are: (1) The repeatability error of the packing density test is large; (2) A large packing density does not mean the best interlocking effect; (3) This method is actually designed using the volume method. Whether the designed gradation mechanical properties are optimal is worth discussing.

[0005] 2. Design using the Bailey method. The Bailey method is based on the interference theory and adopts the plane circle model assumption. It is believed that the maximum particle size of the next-level aggregate cannot interfere with the particle aggregate of the previous level. It controls the passing percentage ratio of the key sieve hole size of the coarse aggregate and the fine aggregate to obtain a good skeleton structure for the gradation of the mineral material. Its disadvantages are: (1) The plane circle assumption is far from the three-dimensional aggregate particles, and the design results have a large deviation; (2) It is only applicable to continuous grading; (3) The volume filling effect of the mineral powder is not considered.

[0006] 3. Design using the Marshall method. The core of the Marshall method design is the volume index, which is to find a gradation curve that meets the volume parameter requirements within a given gradation range. Its disadvantages are: (1) The gradation curve is not unique. There are several gradation curves that meet the volume parameter requirements within the gradation range. Therefore, the selection of the gradation curve is highly subjective; (2) The road performance of the asphalt mixture obtained by the gradation curve that meets the volume index is not necessarily the best. The correlation between the volume index and the road performance needs to be discussed. Summary of the invention

[0170] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0171] Example 1

[0172] This embodiment provides a method for designing the gradation of coarse aggregate of asphalt mixture based on micromechanical properties, including:

[0173] S1: Construct the stacking model of coarse aggregate with different grading ratios;

[0174] Specifically, in one embodiment, coarse aggregate refers to aggregate with a particle size ≥ 4.75 mm.

[0175] Specifically, step S1 includes:

[0176] S11: Scanning coarse aggregates of different particle sizes in each batch using a 3D scanner to form an STL format file, and forming a template with the 3D scanning files of different particle sizes;

[0177] Specifically, in one embodiment, taking asphalt mixture AC-13 as an example, its coarse aggregate includes two grades of 4.75~9.5mm and 9.5~13.2mm, and the stl files after three-dimensional scanning are as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 shown.

[0178] S12: Generate top, bottom and side rigid walls to form a confined space (see Figure 3 ), calculate the volume of the confined space;

[0179] S13: Use clump distribute to read coarse aggregate particles of different particle sizes in the template in sequence, determine the generation volume of each level of coarse aggregate particles according to the preset gradation ratio, and calculate the number of coarse aggregate particles required to generate each level of coarse aggregate according to the volume of a single coarse aggregate particle; the generation order is to generate coarse aggregate particle models in order from large to small particle sizes;

[0180] S14: randomly placing the generated coarse aggregate particle model into a predetermined area of ​​a preset closed space to obtain a stacking model;

[0181] Specifically, in one embodiment, steps S12 to S14 are completed in the three-dimensional discrete element software PFC.

[0182] S2: replacing the second rigid wall with a flexible confining pressure wall, servoing the stacking model to a preset target void ratio according to a preset contact stiffness, removing the first rigid wall, and obtaining a three-dimensional discrete element model;

[0183] Specifically, in one embodiment, step S2 includes:

[0184] S21: Replace the second rigid wall with a flexible confining pressure wall;

[0185] It should be noted that it is difficult to effectively apply radial loads (confining pressure) in traditional three-dimensional discrete element models, which makes it difficult to effectively simulate the stress effects on asphalt mixtures during actual road use. Based on this, the present invention replaces the second rigid wall with a flexible confining pressure wall (see Figure 4 ), in order to simulate the influence of radial load on the coarse aggregate. Specifically, the flexible confining wall is composed of multiple spherical particles, each of which can transmit pressure in the radial direction, thereby transmitting the radial load applied to the model to the coarse aggregate particles through the spherical particles. In order to accurately evaluate the above simulation, it is necessary to specify the specific number, diameter, and numbering rules of the spherical particles in the flexible confining wall in detail to achieve accurate extraction of the confining pressure on each spherical particle. The details are as follows:

[0186] In one embodiment, the flexible confining pressure wall includes multiple layers of spherical particles distributed along the axial direction;

[0187] The radius of the spherical particles in each spherical particle layer is calculated according to the following formula:

[0188]

[0189] Among them, r i is the radius of the spherical particles in the i-th spherical particle layer, R i is the radius of the first coarse aggregate in the accumulation model, N i is the number of spherical particles in the i-th spherical particle layer; specifically, for the convenience of calculation, the number of spherical particles in each spherical particle layer is set to 10 n , where n is a positive integer greater than or equal to 2. Further, the radii of all spherical particles in the flexible confining pressure wall are set to be the same.

[0190] The number of spherical particle layers in the flexible confining pressure wall is calculated according to the following formula:

[0191]

[0192] Among them, C i is the number of spherical granular layers in the flexible confining pressure wall, H i is the height of the flexible confining wall, r i is the radius of the spherical particles in the i-th spherical particle layer.

[0193] Specifically, in one embodiment, the spherical particles in each spherical particle layer in the flexible confining pressure wall are numbered from large to small. For example, in one embodiment, if the number of spherical particles in each spherical particle layer is 100, the starting number of the spherical particles in the layer can be set to 100000, the last spherical particle is numbered 100099, and so on.

[0194] Furthermore, in order to facilitate the calculation of the confining pressure of each spherical particle after the radial load is applied later, it is also necessary to stipulate the numbering rules between adjacent layers. Specifically, the spherical particles of adjacent spherical particle layers are arranged in an interlocking arrangement or a symmetrical arrangement; when the spherical particles are arranged in an interlocking arrangement, six spherical particles are arranged around each spherical particle; when the spherical particles are arranged in a symmetrical arrangement, four spherical particles are arranged around each spherical particle (see Figure 5~Figure 7 ). The following is a detailed description of the numbering rules between adjacent layers in each arrangement mode:

[0195] 1. When spherical particles are arranged in an interlocking manner, the numbering rules of spherical particles in even-numbered layers and odd-numbered layers are different;
