Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of ultra-thin asphalt surface layer, and particularly relates to a dense type of ultra-thin asphalt cover surface layer and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] The ultra-thin cover surface has the advantages of excellent material performance and extremely thin thickness, and has been proved to be a fast, economical and durable preventive maintenance, which can not only fully improve the driving comfort of the road surface, but also reduce the maintenance cost and improve the road service performance.

[0003] However, in the existing engineering practice, although the dense graded mineral aggregate is used to prepare the ultra-thin pavement, the mixture is difficult to compact due to the thin thickness of the ultra-thin cover surface, which leads to poor compaction effect, poor water stability and poor crack resistance. Based on this, the prior art improves the water stability by doping rubber waste to fill the gaps between the mineral aggregates. However, because the surface tension of rubber and asphalt does not match, the compatibility of the two is very poor, which may cause segregation, and thus the adhesion of the entire pavement system is poor, which reduces the compaction effect and crack resistance.

[0004] Therefore, the present research is to provide a new dense type of ultra-thin asphalt cover surface layer and a preparation method thereof, which can improve the compatibility of rubber powder and asphalt, avoid segregation, and improve the adhesion of the pavement system on the basis of filling the gaps between the mineral aggregates with rubber powder to improve the compaction degree, so as to achieve the technical goal of improving the water stability and crack resistance.

[0007] The application is based on the preparation of an ultra-thin asphalt overlay layer by using a polydimethylsiloxane-coated rubber mixture as a filler to fill the voids of the mineral aggregate to improve the density, and using polydimethylsiloxane to coat the rubber powder, on the one hand, the high active silicon-oxygen bond of polydimethylsiloxane can form hydrogen bonds or chemical bonds with the polar components in the asphalt, thereby improving the interfacial bonding ability of the rubber powder and the asphalt, improving the cohesion of the overall asphalt concrete, and avoiding the segregation of the filler and the asphalt, which leads to cracking. On the other hand, the methyl group of polydimethylsiloxane makes it hydrophobic, thereby effectively blocking the further penetration of water into the thin layer pavement, improving the water stability.

[0008] Further, the overlay layer further comprises 0.5-1.0 parts by weight of basalt fibers with a length of 6-12 mm.

[0009] Further, the modified rubber filler used in the ultra-thin asphalt overlay layer is prepared by the following steps: dissolving polydimethylsiloxane in an aromatic hydrocarbon solvent to prepare a solution, placing waste rubber powder in the solution, and evaporating and drying to obtain a polydimethylsiloxane-coated rubber mixture; wherein the addition amount of polydimethylsiloxane is 3-10% of the mass of the waste rubber powder.

[0010] Further, the mineral aggregate used in the ultra-thin asphalt overlay layer is one of basalt or limestone aggregate, and the gradation type is stc-5, under which the proportion of each grade of coarse aggregate is 62-67% for 3-5mm, 18-23% for 0-3mm, and 10-20% for mineral powder.

[0011] Further, the type of SBS modified asphalt used in the ultra-thin asphalt overlay layer is I-A, I-B, I-C or I-D.

[0012] Further, the content of SiO2 in the fly ash used in the ultra-thin asphalt overlay layer is 42-61%, the content of Al2O3 is 20-30%, and the content of CaO is 5-18%.

[0013] Further, the water reducing agent used in the ultra-thin asphalt overlay layer is one of polycarboxylic acid water reducing agent, sulfonate type water reducing agent or fatty acid salt type water reducing agent.

[0014] Further, the anti-freezing agent used in the ultra-thin asphalt overlay layer is a mixture of sodium acetate and ethylene glycol in a weight ratio of 1:(1-3).

[0015] The method for preparing the dense type ultra-thin asphalt cover layer comprises the following steps: mixing the mineral aggregate, SBS modified asphalt, modified rubber filler, fly ash and anti-freezing agent, adding water according to the water-cement ratio of 0.18-0.22, mixing, adding water reducing agent, stirring for 3-5 min, and then preparing the mixture.

[0016] Further, the method for preparing the dense type ultra-thin asphalt cover layer comprises the following steps: mixing the mineral aggregate, SBS modified asphalt, modified rubber filler, fly ash and anti-freezing agent, adding water according to the water-cement ratio of 0.18-0.22, mixing, adding water reducing agent, stirring for 3-5 min, adding basalt fiber and mixing for 10-15 min, and then preparing the mixture.

[0017] Further, the thickness of the dense type ultra-thin asphalt cover layer is 0.8-1.5 cm.

[0018] Beneficial effects: Compared with the prior art, the significant advantages of the dense type ultra-thin asphalt cover layer are as follows: based on the filling of the mineral aggregate gap by the rubber powder to improve the compactness, the polydimethylsiloxane is used to wrap the rubber powder, which effectively avoids the segregation and delamination of the rubber powder and the asphalt, significantly improves the key performance indicators such as the freeze-thaw splitting strength ratio, the immersion Marshall residual stability, the dynamic stability and the crack resistance of the asphalt mixture, and improves the mechanical properties.
