Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of image processing technology, and in particular to a method and system for evaluating the low-temperature crack resistance of asphalt mixture pavement. Background Technology
[0002] Asphalt pavement refers to various types of pavement constructed from asphalt mixtures. Due to its excellent water resistance, durability, and fatigue performance, it has become one of the most widely used high-grade pavements in road construction. Among them, warm-mix recycled asphalt mixtures not only increase the content of recycled pavement material (RAP) and lower the construction temperature, but also improve the road performance of recycled pavements, which is of great significance in reducing resource waste. However, in cold northern regions, low-temperature cracking of asphalt pavements has become one of the major defects affecting road service life and driving safety. Affected by the severe winter climate, pavement materials become more brittle under low-temperature conditions, making them unable to resist the shrinkage stress caused by temperature changes and the dynamic stress caused by vehicle loads, easily forming micro-cracks that gradually expand into macro-cracks. Therefore, to improve the low-temperature crack resistance of warm-mix recycled asphalt mixture pavements, fibers, with their high strength and good toughness, have been demonstrated by numerous indoor tests and engineering practices. Incorporating fibers into recycled asphalt mixtures can delay the initiation and expansion of cracks in warm-mix recycled asphalt concrete pavements, thus improving crack resistance. The incorporation of basalt fiber with high tensile strength into recycled asphalt mixtures will further enhance the crack resistance of asphalt mixtures, extend the service life of pavements, and improve pavement durability.
[0003] However, existing methods for determining the enhancing effect of basalt fiber on the low-temperature crack resistance of warm-mix recycled asphalt pavement mainly focus on the study of macroscopic properties, and cannot objectively quantify the effect of basalt fiber on improving the performance of asphalt mixtures.

[0044] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0047] In this embodiment, the asphalt mixture to be tested can be a warm-mix recycled asphalt mixture with added chopped and flocculent basalt fibers; the microstructural parameters of each group of asphalt mixtures to be tested are obtained by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The spectrum can effectively reflect the evolution of the internal pore structure of the specimen under freeze-thaw cycles, that is, the characteristic of the transverse component of nuclear magnetization decaying exponentially with time.
[0048] S120: Based on fractal theory, the first functional relationship between the pore size distribution density function and the cumulative pore volume fraction is obtained. The first functional relationship is converted and derived to determine the mapping relationship between the cumulative pore volume fraction and the transverse relaxation time. Based on the mapping relationship, the fractal dimension of the porosity of the pore structure corresponding to different pore sizes is determined.
[0049] Fractal theory quantifies the self-similarity and geometric complexity of pore structures through fractal dimensions. The pore size distribution density function describes the proportion of pore volume per unit pore size, while the cumulative pore volume fraction represents the percentage of pore volume with a pore size smaller than d in the total pore volume. The transverse relaxation time reflects the relaxation characteristics of the fluid within the pores and is directly proportional to the pore size.
[0050] In some embodiments, before obtaining the first functional relationship between the pore size distribution density function and the cumulative pore volume fraction based on fractal theory, the method further includes:
[0051] A second functional relationship is created between the pore structure distribution density function, the maximum pore diameter, the proportionality constant, and the fractal dimension based on fractal theory.
[0052] The second functional relationship is converted and derived to determine the aperture distribution density function; the aperture distribution density function is related to the fractal dimension.
[0053] In this embodiment, according to fractal theory, the diameter is greater than Number of pores It satisfies the power function relationship, as shown in equation (1):
[0054] (1)
[0055] In the formula: Characterizes the maximum pore size (μm). Characterizing the pore structure distribution density function, It is a proportionality constant. F represents the fractal dimension of the pore structure.
[0056] Taking the derivative of both sides of equation (1) simultaneously yields the aperture distribution density function, as shown in equation (2).
[0057] (2)
[0058] In the formula: M′ is a proportionality constant, .
[0059] In some embodiments, the mapping relationship between the cumulative pore volume fraction and the transverse relaxation time is determined by converting and deriving the first functional relationship, including:
[0060] The first functional relationship between the established pore size distribution density function and the cumulative pore volume fraction function is converted and derived. Combined with the measurement data of transverse relaxation time in nuclear magnetic resonance, the mapping relationship between the cumulative pore volume fraction and the transverse relaxation time is determined.
[0061] In asphalt mixtures, the pore volume with a pore size smaller than d can be represented by equation (3).
[0062] (3)
[0063] In the formula: Characterizes the minimum pore size (μm);
[0064] Combining equations (2) and (3), equation (4) can be derived:
[0065] (4)
[0066] Therefore, the cumulative pore volume fraction can be derived. As shown in equation (5).
[0067] (5)
[0068] In the formula: Characterizing total pore volume (μm3)
[0069] Due to dmax dmin, equation (5) can be simplified to equation (6):
[0070] (6)
[0071] Equation (7) is further derived from equations (1) and (6).
[0072] (7)
[0073] In the formula: It is represented as the maximum lateral relaxation time (ms).
[0074] Taking the logarithm of both sides of equation (7) yields equation (8).
[0075] (8)
[0076] get .
[0077] In some embodiments, determining the fractal dimension of the porosity of pore structures corresponding to different pore sizes based on the mapping relationship includes:
[0078] A coordinate system is created by taking the logarithm of the cumulative pore volume fraction as the vertical axis and the logarithm of the transverse relaxation time as the horizontal axis. The mapping relationship between the cumulative pore volume fraction and the transverse relaxation time is obtained, and the slope of the curve corresponding to the mapping relationship is determined as the fractal dimension of the corresponding pore size.
[0079] Here, outliers can be removed from the scattered data beforehand, and then the least squares method can be used to fit the scattered data to obtain the slope of the curve corresponding to the mapping relationship.
[0080] S130 uses the comprehensive change rate and complexity of microstructural parameters to construct the performance damage index of asphalt mixtures; the damage index is negatively correlated with the low-temperature crack resistance of the asphalt mixture under test; the comprehensive change rate is related to the cumulative porosity of the peak pore size and the maximum slope of the cumulative peak pore size, and the complexity is related to the cumulative porosity of the peak pore size and the fractal dimension.
[0081] In some embodiments, an asphalt mixture performance damage index is constructed using the combined rate of change and complexity of microstructural parameters, including:
[0082] The first pore size, second pore size, and third pore size are determined based on the curve peaks in the transverse relaxation time spectrum and cumulative porosity distribution curve of the asphalt mixture to be tested; the first pore size is smaller than the second pore size, and the second pore size is smaller than the third pore size.
[0083] The maximum slope of the transverse relaxation time spectrum and the cumulative porosity distribution curve corresponding to the first pore size, the second pore size and the third pore size, respectively, as well as the cumulative porosity corresponding to the first pore size, the second pore size and the third pore size are obtained respectively.
[0084] The rate of change of microstructural parameters is determined based on the maximum slope and cumulative porosity, and the sum of the rates of change of the first pore diameter, the second pore diameter, and the third pore diameter is determined as the comprehensive rate of change.
[0085] In this embodiment, the overall rate of change of the microstructural parameters, The spectral density and cumulative porosity distribution curves will exhibit a three-peak distribution, which can be defined as the first pore size, the second pore size, and the third pore size, respectively. The comprehensive rate of change of the microstructural parameters of the asphalt mixture under test can be expressed as:
[0086]
[0087] In the formula: The comprehensive rate of change of the microstructural parameters of the asphalt mixture under test; Characterizes the cumulative porosity corresponding to the first pore size portion; Characterizing the first aperture portion The maximum slope of the spectrum and cumulative porosity distribution curve; Characterizes the cumulative porosity corresponding to the second pore size portion; Characterizing the second aperture portion The maximum slope of the spectrum and cumulative porosity distribution curve; Characterizes the cumulative porosity corresponding to the third pore size portion; Characterizing the third aperture portion The maximum slope of the spectrum and the cumulative porosity distribution curve.
[0088] In some embodiments, an asphalt mixture performance damage index is constructed using the combined rate of change and complexity of microstructural parameters, including:
[0089] The cumulative porosity and fractal dimension corresponding to the first pore size, the second pore size, and the third pore size are obtained respectively;
[0090] The structural performance index of each pore size is determined based on the cumulative porosity and fractal dimension, and the sum of the structural performance indices of the first, second, and third pore sizes is determined as the complexity of the mesoscopic structural parameters.
[0091] The complexity of the detailed structural parameters can be expressed as:
[0092]
[0093] In the formula: Characterize the complexity of the microstructure parameters of the asphalt mixture under test; These are the cumulative porosities corresponding to the first, second, and third pore diameter portions, respectively. These are the fractal dimensions of the porosity of the pore structures in the first, second, and third pore diameters, respectively.
[0094] In some embodiments, constructing an asphalt mixture performance damage index using the combined rate of change and complexity of microstructural parameters further includes:
[0095] The product of the overall rate of change and complexity of the microstructural parameters is determined as the damage index of the asphalt mixture to be tested.
[0096] The performance impairment index C of the mixture under test can be expressed as:
[0097] .
[0098] In an optional embodiment, the selected freeze-thaw cycles are 0, 10, and 20, respectively, to obtain... The cumulative porosity distribution curves were obtained from the spectrum and calculated the microstructural parameters of each pore, including the cumulative porosity of the peak pore size and the maximum slope of the cumulative pore size of the peak. The values of the first, second, and third pore sizes for each microstructural parameter were statistically analyzed under 0, 10, and 20 freeze-thaw cycles. Then, the fractal dimension model of the nuclear magnetic resonance was plotted. The curves were used to obtain the fractal dimension of the porosity corresponding to the first, second, and third pore sizes. Then, for each control group, a performance damage index for warm-mix recycled asphalt mixtures was constructed based on the microstructural parameters and fractal dimension, yielding the comprehensive change rate of the microstructural parameters for each group of asphalt mixtures under test. and the complexity of detailed structural parameters ;according to and The performance damage index C of the warm-mix recycled fiber asphalt mixture for each group was calculated, and the effect of the low-temperature crack resistance of the asphalt mixture under test in each group was determined according to the magnitude of the performance damage index C.
[0099] In one alternative embodiment, a specific example is provided. The new asphalt is SBS-modified asphalt, and the polymer modifier SBS is thermoplastic styrene-butadiene rubber. 4% by mass of the polymer modifier SBS is incorporated into the base asphalt, and its basic technical performance indicators are shown in Table 1.
[0100] Table 1 Technical Specifications of SBS Modified Asphalt
[0101]
[0102] The waste asphalt pavement material (RAP) used in the experiment was obtained from the pavement material produced by milling during the maintenance and repair of Class I highways in Wuchuan County, Hohhot City, Inner Mongolia. The RAP content was 50%, and the relevant technical indicators are shown in Table 2.
[0103] Table 2 Technical Specifications of Old Asphalt
[0104]
[0105] The experiment used Styreneic Methyl Copolymers (SMC) produced by Beijing Xierma Company. Its main components include hydrocarbons and resin materials, and the dosage is 15% of the old asphalt. Its technical indicators are shown in Table 3.

[0107]
[0108] The new aggregate used in the experiment was taken from basalt in Zhuozishan County, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. The density test results of the basalt aggregate are shown in Table 4, and the gradation design is shown in Table 5.

[0111] Table 5 Gradation Composition Design
[0112]
[0113] The experiment used chopped basalt fibers and flocculent basalt fibers. The chopped basalt fibers were golden-brown needle-like flakes with a regular cylindrical shape and a relatively smooth surface, although some small granular deposits and slightly rough areas were present. The flocculent basalt fibers were grayish-white and cotton-like, with a randomly distributed microstructure and partially interlocked fibers forming a complex spatial network structure. The technical specifications of the two types of basalt fibers are shown in Table 6.
[0114] Table 6. Results of Basalt Fiber Performance Tests
[0115]
[0116] To improve the mechanical properties of warm-mix recycled asphalt mixtures, 0.4% short-cut basalt fiber and flocculent basalt fiber were incorporated, respectively. According to the "Test Procedures for Asphalt and Asphalt Mixtures in Highway Engineering" (JTG E20-2011), the Marshall design method was used to determine the optimal asphalt-aggregate ratio for hot-mix asphalt mixtures and warm-mix recycled asphalt mixtures with different fiber contents, as shown in Table 7.
[0117] Table 7 Optimal Oil-Stone Ratio
[0118]
[0119] Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technology was used to test warm-mix recycled asphalt mixtures (WRAM) subjected to freeze-thaw cycles, WRAM-C with 0.4% chopped basalt fiber, and WRAM-F with 0.4% flocculent basalt fiber. Results were obtained. Spectrum and cumulative porosity distribution curve, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the three mixtures The spectral curves all exhibit a distinct three-peak distribution characteristic, according to The relaxation time range divides the pore size into: the first pore diameter ( <10ms), second aperture (10ms < <100ms) and the third aperture ( >100ms). The microstructural parameters of each pore were calculated, including the cumulative porosity of the peak pore size and the maximum slope of the cumulative peak pore size. The microstructural parameters of the blank group (warm-mix recycled asphalt mixture without basalt fiber), the chopped basalt fiber group (warm-mix recycled asphalt mixture with 0.4% chopped basalt fiber), and the flocculent basalt fiber group (warm-mix recycled asphalt mixture with 0.4% flocculent basalt fiber) are shown in Tables 8 to 10, respectively.

[0123]
[0124] Table 10: Microstructural parameters of the fibrous set in flocculent basalt
[0125]
[0126] After normalizing Tables 8-10 above, we obtain Table 11:
[0127] Table 11: Comprehensive variation rate of microstructural parameters of warm-mix recycled asphalt mixtures
[0128]
[0129] As can be seen from Tables 8 to 11, compared with the blank group of asphalt mixtures, the incorporation of short-cut basalt fibers and flocculent basalt fibers can delay the destruction of the microstructure of asphalt mixtures under freeze-thaw action, which is beneficial to improving the low-temperature crack resistance of asphalt mixtures.
[0130] Taking a warm-mix recycled asphalt mixture (WRAM-F-20) specimen with 0.4% flocculent basalt fiber incorporated after 20 freeze-thaw cycles as an example, the nuclear magnetic resonance fractal dimension model was plotted according to equation (8). and Curves, such as Figure 5As shown in the figure, the curve reveals a significant difference on both sides of 10. Therefore, linear regression analysis was performed on the two parts separately. The fractal dimensions less than 10 and greater than 10 are expressed as follows: and The calculation results are shown in Table 12. From the table, we can see that... and The correlation coefficient R of the fitted curve 2 All values were above 0.8, indicating that the pore structure of the asphalt mixture exhibited good fractal characteristics. The fractal dimensions of the second and third pore diameters were also shown. Fractal dimension greater than the first aperture This indicates that the second and third apertures are more complex than the first aperture.
[0131] Table 12 Fractal dimensions of three asphalt mixtures under different freeze-thaw cycles
[0132]
[0133] The larger the fractal dimension, the more complex and inhomogeneous the pore structure, and the better the material properties. This is in line with the overall variation rate of the microstructural parameters of the mixture. The trends are consistent. After applying reverse normalization (1-F) to the fractal dimension, we obtain Table 13:
[0134] Table 13 Complexity of Microstructural Parameters of Warm-Mix Recycled Asphalt Mixtures
[0135]
[0136] As can be seen from Tables 12 and 13, and The correlation coefficient R of the fitted curve 2 All values were above 0.8, indicating that the pore structure of the asphalt mixture exhibited good fractal characteristics. The fractal dimensions of the second and third pore diameters were also shown. Fractal dimension greater than the first aperture This indicates that the complexity of the second and third pore sizes is higher than that of the first pore size. With increasing freeze-thaw cycles, the complexity of the three asphalt mixtures... and All showed a decreasing trend, indicating that after freeze-thaw cycles, the complexity of the mixture's pore structure decreased and its uniformity increased. Under the same freeze-thaw conditions, the fractal dimension of the incorporated fibers... and The results were all higher than the control group, indicating that the incorporation of fibers increases the complexity of the pore structure of asphalt mixtures. This is because the incorporation of fibers fills pores, especially large pores, and forms a network structure, increasing the complexity of the pore structure. This complex pore structure restricts water flow, especially during freeze-thaw cycles, slowing down the rate of water penetration and reducing the damage caused by freeze-thaw cycles to asphalt mixtures. Due to their multidimensional connectivity, flocculent fibers can construct a denser and more interwoven structural system in the mixture. This system not only fills large pores but also provides some separation and constraint to micropores, thus forming a multi-level pore system and significantly increasing the complexity of the pore structure. In contrast, chopped fibers are mainly linearly distributed, with a relatively simple network structure, and have a weaker impact on pore complexity.
[0137] Both types of basalt fibers inhibited internal structural damage in warm-mix recycled asphalt mixtures. The internal structural damage index was used as the basis for comparison. A higher index indicates a better improvement in the low-temperature crack resistance of the warm-mix recycled asphalt mixture, while a lower index indicates a worse improvement. The pore damage evaluation indices for the two types of basalt fiber-based warm-mix recycled asphalt mixtures are shown in Table 14.

Based on Equation 12, the fracture energy density (F0) of warm-mix recycled asphalt mixtures under different freeze-thaw cycles for the blank group, the short-cut basalt fiber group, and the flocculent basalt fiber group can be calculated.
