Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of asphalt pavement quality testing technology, and in particular to a rapid method for determining the adequacy of grouting in semi-flexible pavements. Background Technology
[0002] Semi-flexible pavement combines the advantages of both cement concrete and asphalt concrete pavements. By injecting cement grout into an open-graded, large-void matrix asphalt mixture, semi-flexible pavement possesses the flexibility and seamlessness of asphalt concrete while combining the high load-bearing capacity and fatigue resistance of cement concrete. It exhibits excellent road performance, ensuring the integrity of the pavement structure and preventing cracking, while also improving the high-temperature stability of the overall pavement structure and preventing rutting. Semi-flexible pavement is an excellent new type of pavement structure material, particularly suitable for heavy-load roads, intersections, bus stops, toll stations, and other typical road areas prone to rutting.
[0003] The effectiveness of grouting is a crucial factor determining the compressive and flexural strength of semi-flexible pavements, and determining the adequacy of grouting is a critical step in pavement construction. However, existing methods for testing the grouting of semi-flexible pavements involve on-site core sampling, which not only damages the pavement but is also cumbersome and fails to meet the need for rapid assessment.
