Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of highway and municipal engineering construction technology, and in particular to a pavement structure for excavated sections of phosphogypsum mines. Background Technology
[0002] Road surface structure refers to the layered structure made of road construction materials laid on top of the subgrade soil for vehicle traffic. It serves to bear vehicle loads, resist wheel wear, and maintain a smooth road surface. Therefore, road surfaces are required to have sufficient strength, high stability, and a certain degree of smoothness. They should also have appropriate skid resistance and not generate excessive dust during driving to reduce damage to the road surface and vehicle components, maintain good visibility, and reduce environmental pollution.
[0003] Road surface materials mainly include cement concrete, asphalt concrete, or asphalt-aggregate mixtures. In areas with high phosphogypsum waste production, harmlessly treated phosphogypsum waste is also used. However, the stockpiling of phosphogypsum waste causes serious environmental pollution and excessive emissions of toxic and harmful gases, significantly impacting people's lives and economic development.
[0004] The waste phosphogypsum after harmless treatment does not cause environmental pollution or toxic and harmful gas emissions. However, its expansibility cannot be eliminated during the harmless treatment process. Therefore, it cannot be used directly as a road structure material. Its expansibility and strength need to be improved before it can be used as a road structure. Utility Model Content

[0014] The present invention relates to a method for on-site implementation using this structure, comprising the following steps: (1) Excavate the roadbed to the bottom of the graded crushed stone cushion layer, and at the same time complete the excavation of the soil at the location of the crushed stone blind ditch. During this period, it is necessary to do a good job of intercepting and draining around the excavation slope.
