Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of cement pavement design, and in particular relates to a method for determining the cumulative number of axle load actions on a cement pavement design of a hydropower station based on transportation volume. Background Art

[0002] The primary function of cement pavement at a hydropower station is to provide transportation for the station, primarily transporting materials. The axle distribution and load characteristics of vehicles on these pavements differ significantly from those on ordinary roads. The majority of traffic on cement pavements at hydropower stations is concentrated during the construction phase, closely tied to the construction phase, and lacks the characteristic of increasing over time. Current standards cannot accurately calculate the cumulative number of axle loads acting on cement pavements designed for hydropower stations.

[0003] While existing technologies such as Patents 2020115205194 and 2023108356600 disclose methods for calculating the cumulative number of axle load actions, Patent 2020115205194 extrapolates daily traffic volume to annual traffic volume, and then calculates the cumulative equivalent axle loads during the design reference period. However, hydropower station traffic volume is dependent on factors such as construction organization and weather conditions, and daily traffic volume varies significantly between construction sections, making it impossible to extrapolate total traffic volume from daily traffic volume. Patent 2023108356600 refers to the formula in the "Design Specifications for Factory and Mine Roads" when determining the cumulative number of design axle load actions. The axle load conversion index is 11, derived by simplifying the linear fatigue equation and the Miner criterion. This does not consider the effects of different load levels on the degree of pavement damage or the effects of temperature stress on fatigue damage. Given the wide variation in axle loads on hydropower station roads, directly applying the conversion to the power of 11 distorts the results. Moreover, the above patent calculates the load stress according to the formula in Appendix B of the "Highway Cement Concrete Pavement Design Code" JTG D40-2011. The load stress formula in the current highway cement concrete pavement design code is only applicable to 30-140kN for single axle and 80-320kN for double axle. The vehicle load size of the hydropower station exceeds this range, and the calculation results using the load stress formula in the code are distorted.

[0004] In summary, how to determine the cumulative number of axle load actions on the design cement pavement of a hydropower station is a technical problem that needs to be solved urgently. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The main purpose of this invention is to provide a method for determining the cumulative number of axle load actions on a hydropower station cement pavement based on transportation volume.
