Description

Technical Field

[0002] Cement-stabilized crushed stone with a nominal maximum particle size exceeding 53mm is also known as ultra-large particle size cement-stabilized crushed stone. Compared to traditional cement-stabilized crushed stone, it has advantages such as strong crack resistance, high strength, and low cement dosage, thus exhibiting superior durability and low-carbon environmental benefits. In recent years, ultra-large particle size cement-stabilized crushed stone has been increasingly used in semi-rigid base asphalt pavements of high-grade highways. However, the stress state of ultra-large particle size cement-stabilized crushed stone base courses in asphalt pavement structures is inevitably significantly different from that of traditional cement-stabilized crushed stone base courses. Obviously, directly applying the structural form of traditional cement-stabilized crushed stone base asphalt pavements to ultra-large particle size cement-stabilized crushed stone base asphalt pavements can easily lead to unreasonable stress distribution or unnecessary material waste.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the thickness of ultra-large particle size cement-stabilized crushed stone base course to ensure the mechanical properties of the pavement structure, save raw materials, and reduce engineering costs. However, this has not been addressed in existing literature or publicly available information. Summary of the Invention
