[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of rapid road surface pothole repair methods, specifically to a rapid road surface pothole repair method with an ultra-thin wear layer. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of my country's expressway network and the continuous growth of vehicle ownership, potholes on roads have become increasingly prominent, seriously affecting driving safety and comfort. Traditional pothole repair methods mainly include hot patching and cold patching, but these methods all have some insurmountable problems in practical applications.

[0003] While heat-applied repair can achieve good results, it has high requirements for environmental conditions, a complex construction process, and requires specialized equipment and skilled workers. More importantly, heat-applied repair is difficult to apply in low-temperature or humid environments, severely limiting its application. Furthermore, heat-applied repair materials are prone to aging during transportation and application, affecting the quality of the repair.

[0004] While cold patching offers advantages such as ease of operation and wide applicability, traditional cold patch materials suffer from problems including low initial strength, poor adhesion, and inadequate water resistance. This makes the repaired pavement prone to secondary damage, significantly shortening the durability of the repair effect. Furthermore, traditional cold patch materials are prone to softening and deformation under high-temperature conditions, affecting pavement smoothness and driving safety.

[0005] Existing improvement methods, such as adding modifiers or using new materials, have improved the repair effect in some aspects, but they still cannot completely solve the above problems. For example, although some modified cold patch materials have improved initial strength, their durability still needs to be improved; some new materials have excellent mechanical properties, but their high cost or construction difficulty makes them difficult to be widely used.

[0128] Next, the cold patching material is prepared. Basalt crushed stone (5mm particle size) preheated to 120℃ is mixed with modified asphalt in a mixer for 3 minutes. Then, polypropylene fibers (6mm length) and limestone powder (<0.075mm particle size) are added, and mixing continues for 2 minutes until homogeneous. Finally, polyvinyl alcohol (molecular weight 50,000) is added and mixed for 1 minute. The temperature is controlled at 110℃ throughout the entire process.

[0129] The modified cold patch material consists of the following components and their weight parts: 60 parts by weight of basalt crushed stone, 4 parts by weight of modified asphalt, 0.5 parts by weight of polyvinyl alcohol, 0.1 parts by weight of polypropylene fiber, and 35 parts by weight of limestone powder.

[0130] (2) Clean the pit: Use high-pressure air (0.6MPa) to blow away loose materials and dust in the pit, and ensure that the pit surface is dry and clean.

[0131] (3) Applying the bonding layer: Use SBR modified emulsified asphalt (60% solids content) as the bonding layer, apply it evenly with a brush, at a rate of 0.3 kg / m³. 2 Incubate at room temperature for 15 minutes.

[0132] (4) Filling with cold patch material: Fill the pothole with cold patch material, slightly exceeding the road surface by 1cm. Compact it with a small vibratory roller (1 ton, 40Hz, 0.4mm amplitude) 3 times.

[0133] (5) Curing: Use infrared heating equipment to heat and cure the repaired area at 60℃ for 30 minutes. Allow it to cool naturally to below 40℃ for 2 hours.

[0134] (6) Open to traffic: Traffic can be opened after the repaired area has completely cooled down (about 3 hours).

[0135] Preferably, in this comparative example, due to the lack of protection from the ultrathin wearing layer, the repaired area may experience faster wear and aging, resulting in lower durability compared to the embodiments of the present invention. This illustrates the important role of the ultrathin wearing layer in improving the durability of road repair.

[0136] Comparative Example 2

[0137] This comparative example provides a method for repairing road potholes covered with an ultra-thin wearing course. Compared with Example 2, no modified asphalt was used, but the remaining steps are the same. Specifically, it includes the following steps:

[0138] (1) Preparation of cold patching material:

[0139] Preheated basalt crushed stone (7.5mm particle size) to 130℃ and ordinary asphalt (penetration 60 / 80) were mixed in a mixer for 4 minutes. Then, polypropylene fibers (9mm length) and limestone powder (<0.075mm particle size) were added, and mixing continued for 2.5 minutes until homogeneous. Finally, polyvinyl alcohol (molecular weight 65000) was added, and mixing was carried out for 1.5 minutes. The temperature was controlled at 120℃ throughout the entire process.

[0140] The components and their weight parts of the cold patch are as follows: 67.5 parts by weight of basalt crushed stone, 5 parts by weight of ordinary asphalt, 1 part by weight of polyvinyl alcohol, 0.2 parts by weight of polypropylene fiber, and 26.5 parts by weight of limestone powder.

[0141] (2) Preparation of ultrathin wear layer materials:

[0142] The steps are the same as in Example 2.

[0143] Steps (3)-(8) are the same as in Example 2.

[0144] Preferably, in this comparative example, because ordinary asphalt was used instead of modified asphalt, the low-temperature crack resistance and high-temperature stability of the cold patch material may not be as good as those in the embodiments of the present invention. This demonstrates the important role of SBS modified asphalt in improving the performance of cold patch materials and further confirms the innovativeness of the present invention.

[0145] Comparative Example 3

[0146] This comparative example provides a method for repairing road potholes covered with an ultrathin wear layer. Compared with Example 3, the ultrathin wear layer material does not contain nano-silica and carbon fiber, while the remaining steps are the same. Specifically, it includes the following steps:

[0147] (1) Preparation of modified cold patching material:

[0148] The steps are the same as in Example 3.

[0149] (2) Preparation of ultrathin wear layer materials:

[0150] Bisphenol A type epoxy resin (epoxy equivalent 200 g / eq) and modified polyurethane (NCO% = 7%) were added to a reactor and stirred at 70°C for 40 minutes. Then, a curing agent (modified cycloalkanolamine, amine value 400 mg KOH / g) and wear-resistant aggregate (corundum, particle size 0.5 mm) were added and stirred for 15 minutes until homogeneous. The entire process was carried out under a vacuum of 0.1 MPa.

[0151] The components and their weight parts of the ultrathin wear layer material are as follows: 50 parts by weight of bisphenol A type epoxy resin, 15 parts by weight of curing agent, 10 parts by weight of modified polyurethane, and 25 parts by weight of corundum.

[0152] Steps (3)-(8) are the same as in Example 3.

[0153] Preferably, in this comparative example, due to the lack of nano-silica and carbon fibers, the hardness, wear resistance, and impact resistance of the ultrathin wear layer may not be as good as those in the embodiments of the present invention. This illustrates the important role of nanomaterials and carbon fibers in improving the performance of ultrathin wear layers, further confirming the innovative nature of the present invention.

[0154] Comparative Example 4

[0155] This comparative example provides a method for repairing road potholes covered with an ultra-thin wearing layer. Compared with Example 4, it does not use infrared heating curing, but instead adopts conventional natural curing, while the remaining steps are the same. Specifically, it includes the following steps:

[0156] Steps (1)-(6) are the same as in Example 4.

[0157] (7) Curing: Allow to cure naturally at room temperature for 8 hours.

[0158] (8) Open to traffic: Traffic can be opened after the area to be repaired has been completely cured (approximately 12 hours).

[0159] Preferably, in this comparative example, because conventional natural curing was used instead of infrared heating curing, the curing time of the material was significantly prolonged, and the repair efficiency was reduced. This illustrates the important role of infrared heating curing technology in accelerating material curing and improving repair efficiency, further confirming the innovativeness of this invention.

[0160] Comparative Example 5

[0161] This comparative example provides a method for repairing road potholes covered with an ultra-thin wear layer. Compared with Example 1, no adhesive layer and primer layer are used, but the remaining steps are the same. Specifically, it includes the following steps:

[0162] Steps (1)-(2) are the same as in Example 1.

[0163] (3) Clean the pit: Use high-pressure air (0.6MPa) to blow away loose materials and dust in the pit, and ensure that the pit surface is dry and clean.

[0164] (4) Filling with cold patch material: Fill the pothole directly with cold patch material, slightly exceeding the road surface by 1cm. Compact it with a small vibratory roller (1 ton, 40Hz, 0.4mm amplitude) 3 times.

[0165] (5) Laying an ultra-thin wear layer:

[0166] The prepared ultrathin wear layer material is directly and evenly laid on the surface of the cold patching material, with the thickness controlled at 2mm.

[0167] Use an automatic leveler to smooth the surface, ensuring it is flush with the surrounding road surface.

[0168] Evenly spread anti-slip aggregate (corundum sand, particle size 0.5mm) on the surface at a rate of 0.8kg / m². 2 .

[0169] Steps (6)-(7) are the same as in Example 1.

[0170] Preferably, in this comparative example, due to the lack of an adhesive layer and a primer layer, the bonding strength between the layers may not be as good as in the embodiments of the present invention, making them prone to interlayer delamination and cracking. This illustrates the important role of the adhesive layer and primer layer in enhancing the integrity and durability of the repaired area, further confirming the innovative nature of the present invention.

[0171] Comparative Example 6

[0172] This comparative example provides a method for repairing road potholes covered with an ultra-thin wear layer. Compared with Example 2, the ultra-thin wear layer material uses ordinary epoxy resin instead of high-performance epoxy resin, while the remaining steps are the same. Specifically, it includes the following steps:

[0173] (1) Preparation of modified cold patching material:

[0174] The steps are the same as in Example 2.

[0175] (2) Preparation of ultrathin wear layer materials:

[0176] Ordinary bisphenol A type epoxy resin (epoxy equivalent 190 g / eq) and modified polyurethane (NCO% = 6%) were added to a reactor and stirred at 65°C for 35 minutes. Then, nano-silica (particle size 25 nm) and carbon fibers (length 4 mm) were added, and stirring continued for 25 minutes. Finally, curing agent (modified cycloalkanolamine, amine value 375 mg KOH / g) and wear-resistant aggregate (corundum, particle size 0.4 mm) were added, and stirring was carried out for 12.5 minutes until homogeneous. The entire process was carried out under a vacuum of 0.075 MPa.

[0177] The components and their weight parts of the ultrathin wear layer material are as follows: 45 parts by weight of ordinary bisphenol A type epoxy resin, 12.5 parts by weight of curing agent, 7.5 parts by weight of modified polyurethane, 2 parts by weight of nano silica, 0.75 parts by weight of carbon fiber, and 30 parts by weight of corundum.

[0178] Steps (3)-(8) are the same as in Example 2.

[0179] Preferably, in this comparative example, because ordinary epoxy resin was used instead of high-performance epoxy resin, the wear resistance and anti-aging properties of the ultrathin wear layer may not be as good as those in the embodiments of the present invention. This illustrates the important role of high-performance epoxy resin in improving the performance of ultrathin wear layers and further confirms the innovability of the present invention.

[0180] These comparative examples clearly demonstrate the innovations and importance of this invention in material selection, structural design, and process optimization. The synergistic effect of these innovations results in a rapid road surface pothole repair method with higher repair efficiency, better durability, and superior overall performance.

[0181] To comprehensively evaluate the effectiveness and superiority of the present invention, "A method for rapid repair of road potholes covered with an ultra-thin wearing layer," we designed the following series of test experiments:

[0182] 1. Low-temperature crack resistance test

[0183] Experimental conditions: temperature -10℃, loading rate 50mm / min;

[0184] Experimental method: Low temperature bending test was adopted. The specimen with a size of 250mm×30mm×35mm was placed in an environment of -10℃ and kept for 4 hours. Then, a three-point bending test was carried out, and the failure load and deflection were recorded.

[0185] 2. High-temperature stability test

[0186] Experimental conditions: temperature 60℃, loading frequency 0.7Hz;

[0187] Experimental method: Dynamic creep test was adopted. A cylindrical specimen with a diameter of 100 mm and a height of 60 mm was placed in an environment of 60℃ and kept for 5 hours. Then, dynamic creep test was carried out, and the deformation within 60 minutes was recorded.

[0188] 3. Bond strength test

[0189] Experimental conditions: temperature 25℃, tensile rate 50mm / min;

[0190] Experimental method: Tensile bond test was adopted. Two cylindrical specimens with a diameter of 100 mm and a height of 50 mm were bonded together with an adhesive layer and cured at 25℃ for 24 hours. Then, a tensile test was carried out and the maximum tensile force was recorded.

[0191] 4. Abrasion resistance test

[0192] Experimental conditions: temperature 25℃, rotation speed 30r / min, load 500N, grinding wheel H-22;

[0193] Experimental method: A rotary drum abrasion test was used. The specimen with dimensions of 100mm×100mm×15mm was subjected to abrasion test of 1000 revolutions on a rotary drum abrasion tester, and the mass loss was recorded.

[0194] 5. Impact resistance test

[0195] Experimental conditions: temperature 25℃, drop weight mass 4.5kg, drop weight height 50cm;

[0196] Experimental method: Drop hammer impact test was adopted. The specimen with a size of 500mm×500mm×50mm was subjected to drop hammer impact test, and the destructive energy was recorded.

[0197] Based on the above testing methods, we conducted a comprehensive performance evaluation of Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples 1-6, and the results are shown in the table below:

[0198] Table 1 Performance test results of each embodiment and comparative example

[0199]

[0200] The test results show that Example 3 exhibits the best overall performance and can be considered the best embodiment of the present invention. Compared with the comparative example, the embodiments of the present invention show significant superiority in all indicators:

[0201] 1. Low-temperature crack resistance: The low-temperature crack resistance of the examples was generally higher than that of the comparative examples, mainly due to the use of SBS modified bitumen. The styrene blocks in the SBS molecule provide good rigidity, while the butadiene blocks endow the material with excellent elasticity. The synergistic effect of the two significantly improves the low-temperature crack resistance of the material.

[0202] 2. High-Temperature Stability: The high-temperature deformation of the embodiment was significantly lower than that of the comparative example, which is attributed to the composite system of high-performance epoxy resin and modified polyurethane. The epoxy resin provides excellent thermal stability, while the modified polyurethane enhances the elastic recovery of the material. The synergistic effect of the two greatly improves the high-temperature stability of the material.

[0203] 3. Bond Strength: The bond strength of the embodiment is significantly higher than that of the comparative example, mainly due to the multi-layer structure design of the adhesive layer and the primer layer. The SBR-modified emulsified asphalt, as the adhesive layer, not only provides good initial adhesion but also adapts to temperature changes and traffic loads. The epoxy resin diluent, as the primer layer, can penetrate to the surface of the cold patch material, forming chemical bonds and further enhancing the interlayer bond strength.

[0204] 4. Abrasion Resistance: The abrasion resistance of the embodiments was significantly better than that of the comparative examples, mainly due to the addition of nano-silica and carbon fibers. Nano-silica improves abrasion resistance by enhancing the surface hardness and internal structure of the material, while carbon fibers reduce wear by providing internal support and stress dispersion. The synergistic effect of the two significantly improves the abrasion resistance of the material.

[0205] 5. Impact Resistance: The impact resistance of the embodiments is also superior to that of the comparative examples, mainly due to the addition of carbon fibers and the design of the epoxy-polyurethane composite system. Carbon fibers can effectively absorb and disperse impact energy, while the epoxy-polyurethane composite system provides good toughness. The synergistic effect of the two greatly improves the impact resistance of the material.

[0206] Through in-depth analysis of the test data, we discovered that this invention also has some unexpected technical effects:

[0207] 1. Self-healing ability: During high-temperature stability testing, we unexpectedly discovered that the prototype exhibited a certain degree of self-healing ability after unloading. This may be due to the fluidity and molecular chain rearrangement of the SBS modified bitumen and modified polyurethane at high temperatures, enabling the material to recover its original shape and properties to some extent.

[0208] 2. Fatigue Resistance: During repeated impact tests, we found that the performance degradation rate of the embodiment was significantly lower than that of the comparative example. This indicates that the material of the present invention has excellent fatigue resistance, possibly due to the enhanced internal structural stability of the material resulting from the addition of nanomaterials and carbon fibers.

[0209] 3. Environmental adaptability: When tested under different temperature and humidity conditions, we found that the performance of the embodiment fluctuated little, demonstrating excellent environmental adaptability. This may be due to the complex network structure formed by the synergistic effect of multiple components, which enables the material to maintain stable performance under various environmental conditions.

[0210] 4. Long-term durability: Through accelerated aging tests, we found that the tested samples maintained a high performance level even after long-term use. This is likely due to the excellent anti-aging properties of the high-performance epoxy resin and modified polyurethane, as well as the free radical scavenging effect of the nanomaterials, which together improve the long-term durability of the material.

[0211] 5. Interface compatibility: In the microscopic analysis, we found that the components of the embodiment formed good interface compatibility. This may be due to the complex physical and chemical interactions between the multiple components, such as hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces, thus forming a highly integrated composite system.

[0212] These unexpected technical effects further confirm the innovation and superiority of the invention, providing more comprehensive and reliable technical support for the rapid, efficient, and durable repair of potholes on highways.

[0213] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of the present invention specification, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
