TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model discloses a desert highway relates to road engineering field. BACKGROUND
[0002] The world's second largest desert, Taklimakan Desert, is located in Xinjiang. In order to shorten the distance between the two deserts, it is a choice to build a desert highway through the serious desertification area. The construction of the desert highway promotes the local development and injects new vitality into the economy. The construction of the road in the desertification area often needs to adapt to the local conditions, use local materials and overcome the adverse effects of wind-blown sand.
[0003] The wind-blown sand subgrade is a sand layer formed by long-term weathering and continuous transportation and accumulation under the action of wind. It has the advantages of abundant reserves, convenient material selection and strong compressive strength. The particle size of the wind-blown sand ranges from 0.001 to 0.75 mm, and the main particle size ranges from 0.075 to 0.25 mm, and a large number of them are distributed in vast desert areas.
[0004] The pavement structure isolation layer is an important part of the highway pavement structure, and its construction technology and quality directly affect the service performance, durability and safety of the highway pavement. The traditional pavement structure isolation layer includes granular cushion, slag cushion, stabilized soil cushion and geosynthetic material cushion. The common geosynthetic material cushion includes geotextile cushion or geonet cushion.
[0005] The cement stabilized gravel base is composed of gravel and cement. The broken surface of the gravel is less and the angularity is poor. In engineering practice, the cement dosage is increased and the fine gradation is used to improve the strength of the cement stabilized gravel base and reduce the segregation phenomenon. The cement dosage in engineering practice is usually 4-6%.
[0006] Asphalt concrete pavement refers to the pavement with asphalt concrete as the surface layer. The mineral aggregate with a certain gradation and a certain proportion of road asphalt material are artificially selected and mixed under strict control conditions.
[0007] Chinese patent CN 206635590 U discloses a new desert highway. The highway subgrade is provided with a sand base layer, a polypropylene textile cloth layer, a graded sand and gravel layer, a coarse-grained asphalt concrete layer and a fine-grained asphalt concrete surface layer from bottom to top. The pavement structure isolation layer adopts a polypropylene textile cloth layer. This geotextile not only has high cost, but also pollutes the environment, which is not consistent with the environmental protection concept advocated by modern society. The isolation layer using geotextile is difficult to improve the bearing capacity of the subgrade, and wrinkles are easy to appear, which is not conducive to the close connection between the bottom base layer and the subgrade.
[0008] CN 1766237A discloses a use of sodium silicate aqueous solution as a sand-fixing agent and a sand-fixing method thereof. The invention is to use sodium silicate aqueous solution as a sand-fixing agent, spray it on the surface of sand, and let the sodium silicate aqueous solution penetrate into a certain depth from the surface of sand to cement single sand grains together. After the sodium silicate solidifies, a sodium silicate sand-fixing shell layer can be formed, which can isolate the flowing sand below from the contact with wind force, thereby playing a role of sand fixation. The use of sodium silicate aqueous solution as a sand-fixing agent can slow down the spread of land desertification. Content of the utility model
