Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] In recent years, with the increase of traffic volume, the rut phenomenon of the asphalt pavement of the expressway and the first and second class highway is more and more common. The formation of the asphalt pavement rut is the result of the combined action of the extrusion compaction and the shear deformation of the asphalt mixture. For the newly built pavement or the pavement with insufficient compaction, the compaction effect is more obvious. And for the pavement that has been opened to traffic for a period of time or the pavement with good compaction, with the increase of the axle load number, the asphalt mixture under the rut produces the isometric shear flow deformation, but due to the lateral extrusion, the mixture rises on the edge of the axle load, and the rut is formed.

[0003] The shear performance is an important mechanical performance index of the asphalt mixture, and is closely related to the high-temperature stability of the asphalt mixture. The shear device adopted in the research on the interlayer shear performance of the asphalt pavement by Russian Guangxun et al. only has the vertical force, and there is no force constraint in the horizontal direction of the test piece. The clamp adopted in the device lacks the simulation of the automobile gravity, so that the measured data has certain deviation from the actual application, and further influences the pavement performance.

[0004] Designing an effective, fast and economical clamp for the shear test of the asphalt mixture is one of the problems to be solved at present. INVENTION CONTENTS
