Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of road engineering, and in particular to a quantitative evaluation method for hidden diseases of a semi-rigid base asphalt pavement. Background Art
[0002] As the years of operation increase, some hidden defects that cannot be directly observed will occur inside the semi-rigid asphalt pavement. As an advanced road non-destructive testing equipment, ground penetrating radar is widely used in the road field. It has the characteristics of fast detection speed, non-destructive and fast, and can detect hidden defects inside the pavement, including hidden cracks, poor interlayer adhesion, looseness and other defects. However, the existing pavement internal condition evaluation method is mainly based on the type, location and area of defects detected by ground penetrating radar. The evaluation method has a certain degree of subjectivity and lacks consideration of the impact of defects on the overall structural strength of the pavement. It cannot accurately and quantitatively evaluate the internal condition of the semi-rigid asphalt pavement. Summary of the invention
[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for quantitatively evaluating hidden defects of semi-rigid base asphalt pavement, which can quantify the influence of internal defects of semi-rigid base asphalt pavement, obtain the type and area information of hidden defects by analyzing ground penetrating radar data, and use the deflection value index to analyze the influence coefficient of hidden defects on the overall structural strength of the pavement. The radar detection data and pavement deflection data are combined to obtain the internal damage condition index of the pavement structure to conduct an objective quantitative evaluation of the hidden defects.
[0004] The present invention provides a method for quantitatively evaluating hidden defects of a semi-rigid base asphalt pavement, comprising:
[0005] Use ground penetrating radar (GPR) of the same frequency to detect the road surface in the detection area, obtain the road surface structure layer data in the target section, and perform image processing on the collected data to obtain a high-quality road surface grayscale image;
[0006] Optionally, the signal processing process includes: performing zero bias removal, zero point adjustment, gain adjustment, bandpass filtering and background elimination on the pavement structure layer data through ground penetrating radar processing software.
[0007] Mark and locate the abnormal parts in the grayscale image, record the location and area of the disease, and classify and summarize the diseases with similar characteristics;
[0008] Select some typical abnormal images, obtain the pavement core samples at their locations, determine the types of defects and defect characteristic maps. The defect types are divided into three types: hidden cracks, poor interlayer adhesion, and looseness. Supplement the defect type information in the grayscale image.
[0009] The process of using the falling weight deflectometer (FWD) device to obtain the representative deflection value of the disease includes: if the disease type is a crack disease, the deflection value is tested at the top of the disease, and the deflection value at the center point is taken as the representative value of the crack disease; if the disease type is poor interlayer bonding and looseness, the deflection value is tested at the middle position of the disease as the representative value of the disease.
[0010] Preferably, as many normal road surfaces and diseased road surfaces as possible are selected within the detection range to measure the deflection values, and their average values are taken as the deflection values of the normal road surface and the diseased road surface, respectively, for subsequent operation steps.
[0011] Take the difference between the deflection values of the normal road surface and the diseased road surface, and divide the difference by the deflection value of the normal road surface as the influence coefficient of the pavement structure strength of the hidden disease. The calculation formula is as follows:
[0012]
[0013] In the formula, w i represents the influence coefficient of the pavement structure strength of the ith disease, l0 is the deflection value of the normal pavement, l i is the deflection value of the ith disease.
[0014] The process of obtaining the internal condition index of the pavement structure includes: multiplying the disease area and the corresponding influence coefficient for different disease types to obtain the product of different disease types, taking the sum of the products and the ratio of the detected pavement area and multiplying it by 100 to obtain the internal damage rate of the asphalt pavement, and obtaining the internal damage condition index of the pavement structure based on the internal damage rate of the asphalt pavement, and the formula is as follows:
[0015]
[0016] In the formula, A i is the area of the ith disease (m 2 ), A is the area of road surface detection (m 2 ), IDR is the internal damage rate of the pavement structure, IPCI is the internal damage index of the pavement structure, a0 is 15.327, and a1 is 0.405.
[0017] Taking the accumulated area of 10 meters of disease as a measurement unit, the internal condition of the pavement is graded according to the calculation results of the internal damage index of the pavement structure. The IPCI score is not less than 90 points for excellent, less than 90 points but not less than 80 points for good, less than 80 points but not less than 70 points for medium, less than 70 points but not less than 60 points for inferior, and less than 60 points for poor. The grading standards are shown in Table 1.

[0027] The following is a further detailed description of a method for quantitatively evaluating hidden defects of a semi-rigid base asphalt pavement according to the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:
[0028] Example:
[0029] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, a quantitative evaluation method for hidden diseases of semi-rigid base asphalt pavement is provided, and the steps are as follows:
[0030] Step 1: Before the test begins, determine the measurement line, radar antenna frequency, time window, gain and other parameters. During the acquisition process, the radar antenna main frequency uses 800MHz. Then use the ground penetrating radar to detect the target area, and perform image processing on the collected data to obtain a grayscale image that is easy to observe the disease.
[0031] Step 2: sort and divide the collected data, classify and summarize the radar images of the abnormal areas, and record their locations and sizes.
[0032] Select some locations for core sampling to determine the hidden disease types corresponding to the abnormal areas; establish a hidden disease feature atlas library for semi-rigid base asphalt pavement, and supplement the disease type information in the grayscale image;
[0033] The types of defects are cracks, poor interlayer adhesion and looseness.
[0034] The radar spectrum characteristics of the crack disease are: the dielectric constant of the road surface where the crack disease is located is smaller than that of the normal road surface, the phase axis is discontinuous, the waveform at the crack position is convex, and there is a strip-shaped strong reflection area. If the crack is air, it enters the crack from the asphalt pavement, the phase is negative, and there are few obvious negative peaks.
[0035] The poor interlayer bonding defect is as follows: poor interlayer bonding will produce gaps between layers, which is manifested as strong amplitude in the layer interface on the radar map. Compared with poor interlayer bonding, voids have a larger impact range in the vertical direction and a stronger reflection.
[0036] The radar spectrum characteristics of loose disease are: the dielectric constant of the road surface where the loose disease is located is smaller than that of the normal road surface, the phase axis is discontinuous, the waveform is messy and irregular, the degree of waveform disorder increases with the increase of looseness, and the change of dielectric constant causes the amplitude to increase.
[0037] Step 3: According to the defect atlas, count the defects in the entire road section, select some sections and use the falling weight deflectometer (FWD) to test the road surface deflection in the target area; the detection parameters of FWD are: the diameter of the detection bearing plate is 30cm, the weight of the weight is (200±10)kg, and the impact load is (50±2.5)kN; the detection section includes normal sections and defect sections, and the FWD test position of the defect position is as follows: Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown.
[0038] Step 4: Calculate the influence coefficient w of the disease on the pavement structure strength i The pavement structure strength influence coefficient of the asphalt pavement disease is calculated by the following formula:
[0039]
[0040] In the formula, w i represents the influence coefficient of the pavement structure strength of the ith disease, l0 is the deflection value of the normal pavement, l i is the deflection value of the ith disease.
[0041] Step 5: Calculate the internal condition evaluation index of the asphalt pavement structure according to the area of the detected road surface and the disease conditions; calculate the damaged area of each disease according to the ground penetrating radar results, multiply the damaged area by the pavement structure strength influence coefficient, and calculate the internal damage rate of the asphalt pavement structure. The damage rate IDR is calculated by the following formula:
[0042]
[0043] In the formula, A i is the area of the ith disease (m 2 ), A is the area of road surface detection (m 2 ), IDR is the internal damage rate of the pavement structure.
[0044] The internal damage index of the pavement structure is obtained by the following formula:
[0045]
[0046] Where, IPCI is the internal damage index of the pavement structure, a0 is 15.327, and a1 is 0.405.
[0047] In order to quantitatively evaluate the integrity of the pavement structure, the PCI evaluation method of the pavement damage condition index is used as a reference; scores are given according to the calculation results of the IPCI internal damage condition index of the pavement structure, with scores of no less than 90 being excellent, less than 90 but not less than 80 being good, less than 80 but not less than 70 being fair, less than 70 but not less than 60 being inferior, and less than 60 being poor.
[0048] The present invention can quantify the influence of hidden defects on the strength of semi-rigid asphalt pavement, realize the evaluation of the internal condition of the semi-rigid asphalt pavement, and provide a reference for the detection, diagnosis and maintenance decision of hidden defects inside the asphalt pavement.
[0049] The examples of the present invention are described in detail above in conjunction with the embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to the above examples. Various changes can be made within the knowledge scope of ordinary technicians in the field without departing from the purpose of the present invention, and should also be regarded as the protection scope of the present invention.
