Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of road maintenance, and particularly relates to a method for calculating the addition ratio of new asphalt mixture for in-situ hot recycling of asphalt pavement. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous increase in traffic volume and the increasing vehicle load, asphalt pavement is prone to diseases such as ruts during long-term use, seriously affecting the driving quality and safety performance of the road. The generation of ruts is mainly due to the plastic deformation of asphalt mixture under high temperature and heavy load, resulting in depressions on the road surface. When conducting in-situ hot recycling of asphalt pavement, in order to restore the original state of the road surface, an appropriate amount of new asphalt mixture must be added to fill these ruts. In addition, due to the lax quality control during the initial construction of some asphalt pavements, the pavement compaction degree is insufficient. To ensure that the compaction degree of the recycled pavement meets the design requirements, new asphalt mixture also needs to be added to enhance the compaction effect of the pavement. Therefore, during the in-situ hot recycling of asphalt pavement, the addition of new asphalt mixture is the key to restoring the good service performance of the road surface.

[0003] In the mix design of in-situ hot recycling of asphalt pavement, the incorporation amount of new asphalt mixture has a significant impact on the overall performance of the recycled asphalt mixture. Therefore, accurately determining the incorporation amount of new asphalt mixture is crucial for optimizing the mix design. However, during the actual construction process, after the new asphalt mixture is produced by the mixing plant, it needs to be transported to the site by transport vehicles for addition. If the incorporation amount is calculated inaccurately, it may lead to overproduction or underproduction of the new asphalt mixture, thereby causing waste of resources or a decline in construction efficiency. Therefore, accurately calculating the incorporation amount of new asphalt mixture is particularly important.

[0004] To address this problem, technicians have proposed various solutions, but most rely on using tools such as 3m straightedges to intermittently measure the rut depth of the old road surface and estimating the incorporation amount of new asphalt mixture through mathematical statistical methods. However, due to the irregular shape of the road surface ruts, this measurement method can only approximately estimate the geometric dimensions of the rut cross-section and the rut volume within a specific measuring point spacing, and cannot accurately reflect the true volume of the ruts. In addition, existing methods often ignore the influence of factors such as the compaction degree of the old road surface, the theoretical maximum density of the old road surface and new asphalt mixture, and the compaction degree of the recycled road surface on the calculation of the incorporation amount. Therefore, in practical applications, the incorporation amount of new asphalt mixture determined by existing methods often fails to achieve the ideal effect and has a large difference from the actual engineering requirements. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a method for calculating the addition ratio of new asphalt mixture for in-situ hot recycling of asphalt pavement, which can meet the precise control requirements of the incorporation amount of new asphalt mixture during the in-situ hot recycling construction process on site.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method for calculating the addition ratio of new asphalt mixture for in-situ hot recycling of asphalt pavement, comprising the following steps:

[0029] S1. Intermittently measure the floating distance of the asphalt ground on the vehicle driving path by using the contact type floating ranging system, the vehicle speed is v, and set the driving distance of the vehicle in one sampling period of the contact type floating ranging system as L, and the width of the single lane for in-situ hot recycling construction is d; the contact type floating ranging system obtains the height distance information of the current asphalt pavement cross-section as y each time it samples i , the sampling length of a single contact type floating ranging system is X, then the number of required floating ranging systems

[0031] For each contact floating ranging system, the rut volume of the old asphalt pavement obtained in one sampling period is θ1 = f(y ε ) * L;

[0035] S5. Calculate the mass of the old asphalt material after milling the old pavement and the mass of the new asphalt mixture required for the newly built pavement of this section Then the addition ratio of the new asphalt mixture

[0036] Furthermore, the compaction degree δ1 of the old pavement is cored and tested in an evaluation section of 200 meters, and the number of cores is not less than 5.

[0037] Furthermore, the density ρ1 of the old pavement is cored and tested in an evaluation section of 200 meters, and the number of cores is not less than 5.

[0038] Furthermore, the compaction degree δ2 and the density ρ2 of the pavement after the regeneration of the new asphalt mixture are design values and are determined by the vacuum method test.

[0039] Furthermore, the contact floating ranging system includes:

[0040] Transverse guide rail 1;

[0041] Longitudinal floating profiling guide rod 2, which is driven by a servo motor (not shown in the figure) to move horizontally on the transverse guide rail 1;

[0042] Data sensor (not shown in the figure), which is connected to the longitudinal floating profiling guide rod 2 and is used to read the floating changes generated during the contact process between the longitudinal floating profiling guide rod 2 and the ground, calculate the height fluctuation value of the corresponding cross-section of the asphalt road, draw the contour map of the road cross-section in the height direction, and finally calculate the volume and mass of the old asphalt pavement.

[0043] When the present invention is specifically implemented:

[0044] 1) The vehicle starts, and the vehicle-mounted controller obtains the current vehicle speed v of the vehicle in real time; at the same time, the contact floating ranging system starts, such as Figure 1The floating ranging system shown moves from one end of the system to the other end, denoted as a sampling period \(t\). The sampling length of a single contact floating ranging system is \(X\), and the driving distance of the vehicle in one sampling period of the contact floating ranging system is set as \(L\). The width of a single lane for in-situ hot recycling construction is \(d\), and the height distance information of the current asphalt pavement cross-section is obtained by repeated sampling of reciprocating motion as \(y\). i ;

[0045] The rut volume of the old asphalt pavement obtained by each contact floating ranging system in one sampling period is \(\theta_1 = f(y ε )\times L(1);

[0046] In formula (1), \(f(y n )\) represents the cross-sectional area formed by ruts within one sampling period of the contact floating ranging device, and the calculation formula is

[0047] In formula (2), \(x\) represents the sampling interval distance of the contact floating ranging system, and the calculation formula is \(\varepsilon\) represents the number of samples in one sampling period of a single contact floating ranging system, and the calculation formula is where \(\gamma\) is the lateral moving speed of the contact floating ranging system, and \(v\) is the sampling frequency of the contact floating ranging system;

[0050] The number of contact floating ranging systems is

[0051] Then the mass of the old asphalt material after milling the old pavement in one sampling period is \(m_1 = n\theta_1\delta_1\rho_1(8)\), where \(\delta_1\) is the initial compaction degree of the old pavement, and \(\rho_1\) is the initial density of the old pavement;

[0052] Substituting formulas (1)-(7) into (8) gives

[0054] Then the addition ratio of the new asphalt mixture for the newly constructed pavement in one sampling period is:

[0055]

[0056] Among them, the vehicle speed v and the height distance information y i are obtained in real time. The initial compaction degree δ1 and density ρ1 of the old road surface are test values, and the compaction degree δ2, density ρ2, and thickness h2 of the new asphalt mixture after regeneration are design values. The sampling frequency η and sampling length X of the contact floating ranging system are set values.
