Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of asphalt roadbed technology, and specifically relates to an asphalt roadbed structure. Background Technology

[0002] Asphalt subgrade is a crucial foundational structure in road engineering. It is not simply composed of asphalt, but rather uses treated natural soil and rock materials or industrial waste as a base, with a specific proportion of asphalt added according to road design requirements. The addition of asphalt effectively enhances the stability, waterproofing, and deformation resistance of the subgrade, reduces water erosion, and mitigates adverse effects such as seasonal frost heave and softening. Through scientific proportioning and construction techniques, the asphalt subgrade provides a solid and reliable support for the road surface, ensuring that the road maintains good smoothness and performance under long-term traffic loads and complex environmental conditions. It is a key element in ensuring road safety and durable operation.

[0003] Currently, asphalt roadbed structures may exhibit unique defects in special geological areas such as saline soil and expansive soil. Taking saline soil areas as an example, the salts in the soil migrate and crystallize under the influence of water. The volume change can damage the bond between the asphalt and the roadbed soil, leading to bulging and cracking of the roadbed and affecting its overall integrity. The characteristic of expansive soil to expand when it encounters water and shrink when it loses water can cause uneven deformation of the asphalt roadbed, resulting in problems such as road surface undulation and cracks. Moreover, these defects are less common in ordinary areas, but in some areas with concentrated chemical industries, the asphalt roadbed may be eroded by chemical substances, so there is room for improvement. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an asphalt roadbed structure to solve the problem of insufficient protective performance of current asphalt roadbed structures mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an asphalt roadbed structure, including a roadbed subbase; a crushed stone layer laid on top of the roadbed subbase; a gravel layer laid on top of the crushed stone layer, with gaps between the gravel layers to facilitate drainage; a second geotextile layer and a first geotextile layer laid between the roadbed subbase and the crushed stone layer, and between the crushed stone layer and the gravel layer, respectively; the double-layer arrangement of the second geotextile layer and the first geotextile layer effectively prevents salt from migrating upwards with water, reducing the damage of salt to the asphalt roadbed.

[0006] A semi-rigid base layer is laid on top of the gravel layer, and an asphalt layer is laid on top of the semi-rigid base layer.

[0007] Drainage components are also installed in the subbase and crushed stone layer of the road surface. The drainage components in the subbase and crushed stone layer are distributed in a crisscross pattern to form a drainage network inside the roadbed, which can drain the water in the roadbed in a timely manner.

[0008] Preferably, both the subbase and the gravel layer of the road surface have a first placement hole and a second placement hole, wherein the first placement hole is located below the second placement hole and the two are not connected to each other. In drainage, the drainage is mainly carried out by water seeping out of the subbase and gravel layer to the first and second placement holes, rather than direct drainage. The first and second placement holes are arranged in an alternating manner, and the drainage component is placed inside the first and second placement holes.

[0009] Preferably, the drainage components include drainage blind ditch one and drainage blind ditch two, wherein drainage blind ditch two is located inside placement hole one, and drainage blind ditch one is located inside placement hole two. Drainage blind ditch one and drainage blind ditch two are made of the same material, both being plastic, and have gaps on their overall surface to allow water to drain out. This structure is a conventional existing structure, so it will not be described in further detail here.

[0010] Preferably, the system also includes a concrete pouring layer, which is poured on both sides of the roadbed structure. The top of the concrete pouring layer is flush with the top of the asphalt layer, and the bottom of the concrete pouring layer is flush with the bottom surface of the road subbase. Placing the concrete pouring layer on both sides of the roadbed can prevent chemical substances from directly contacting the roadbed and reduce the impact of chemical erosion on the roadbed.

[0011] Preferably, the second geotextile layer has the same thickness as the first geotextile layer, and the edge of the first geotextile layer is in contact with the inner surface of the concrete pouring layer.

[0012] Preferably, the thickness of the gravel layer is equal to the thickness of the semi-rigid base layer, and the density of the gravel layer is less than that of the crushed stone layer to ensure drainage, but its strength should be sufficient to support the asphalt layer and subsequent use.

[0013] Preferably, the thickness of the subbase layer is greater than the thickness of the crushed stone layer, and the two sides of the subbase layer are compacted against the inner wall of the concrete pouring layer.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] In this invention, the addition of geotextile layers one and two effectively prevents salt from migrating upwards with water, reducing the damage of salt to the asphalt subgrade and significantly reducing problems such as subgrade bulging and cracking. At the same time, the longitudinal and transverse drainage structures can drain water from the subgrade in a timely manner. In expansive soil areas, water is the main factor causing its expansion and contraction. A good drainage system can effectively reduce soil moisture content and reduce the volume change of expansive soil. Furthermore, the added concrete pouring layer can prevent chemical substances from directly contacting the subgrade, reducing the impact of chemical erosion on the subgrade.
