Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of composite concrete pavement structure, and relates to a long-life self-sensing sandwich concrete pavement for emergency repair and construction, and its construction method. Background Technology

[0002] In road and airport engineering, the surface layer of concrete pavement primarily bears the impact and wear from tires and the effects of adverse environments. Internally, it responds to tire impacts with compressive, tensile, and shear stresses, which are borne by the upper, lower, and overall layers, respectively. Traditional concrete pavements often use dry-hardened concrete, which is difficult to construct, time-consuming, and lacks functional zoning, making it impossible to specifically improve the performance of different parts of the pavement and achieve the concept of long-life design. Furthermore, the testing of concrete pavements uses destructive methods such as core drilling, which cannot provide real-time evaluation of service status and inevitably damages the existing pavement structure to some extent.

[0003] Expanding self-sensing and self-monitoring capabilities is a crucial aspect of the intelligent upgrading of transportation infrastructure, primarily achieved through the embedding of various sensors within the structure. Currently, these sensors generally suffer from complex installation, high maintenance costs, poor compatibility with concrete, and signal attenuation due to environmental interference. Furthermore, sensor-based self-sensing and monitoring are often limited to localized areas and cannot accurately characterize the overall service status of the structure. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the limitations of traditional single-layer concrete pavements in road and airport engineering, such as lack of functional zoning, difficulty in local modification, and long construction time. It provides a long-life, self-sensing sandwich concrete pavement for emergency repair and construction, along with its construction method. This pavement is easy to construct, possesses excellent mechanical, durability, and self-sensing properties, enabling long-term healthy service and real-time data collection of traffic flow and structural deformation, providing a basis for traffic control and engineering maintenance.

[0036] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, but it is not limited thereto. Any modifications or equivalent substitutions to the technical solution of the present invention that do not depart from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of the present invention should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0037] This invention proposes a novel three-layer sandwich concrete pavement structure to shorten construction time and significantly improve resistance to spalling and cracking. It also endows the pavement with self-sensing and self-monitoring capabilities, enabling it to meet the needs of emergency repairs and construction under special circumstances while ensuring long-term safe and healthy service in freeze-thaw environments. The top layer (formed surface) of this novel sandwich pavement is a freeze-thaw resistant, impact-resistant, and wear-resistant layer, utilizing a hybrid of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber and polyacrylonitrile fiber to enhance freeze-thaw resistance, impact resistance, and wear resistance. The middle layer (compression zone) is a self-sensing compressive and shear resistant layer, employing pre-filled aggregates to accelerate construction and using intelligent aggregate overlap and conductive mortar filling to strengthen the system's electrical response under load. The bottom layer (tension zone) is a long-life, ultra-high strength tensile layer, using ultra-high performance concrete to improve the structure's flexural strength and durability. The pre-filled intelligent aggregate self-sensing concrete uses a novel intelligent aggregate synthesized through acid-catalyzed surface modification and autoclaving of composite calcium-based curing components and conductive fillers. During construction, aggregates are pre-filled to ensure the smart aggregates overlap and form a framework, followed by the pouring of conductive mortar to fill the gaps in the framework. The smart aggregates and conductive mortar combine to form a continuous and stable conductive network within the intermediate layer. By monitoring the electrical signals of the intermediate layer, the service status of the sandwich concrete pavement structure can be sensed in real time, providing a basis for traffic control and pavement maintenance. The long-life self-sensing sandwich concrete pavement for emergency repair and reconstruction proposed in this invention, from the perspectives of structural functional zoning and material performance design, significantly improves the service life of concrete pavements while expanding its application prospects in emergency repair and reconstruction, intelligent maintenance, and traffic monitoring.
