Rotary scouring performance and technical standard of cement stabilized macadam base materials
In view of the problems of current scouring tests on cement stabilized macadam base (CSMB) materials such as difficult to operate and low efficiency
a rotary scouring test equipment for CSMB materials was developed. By using FLUENT software
the scouring force on specimens was analyzed in numerical simulation
and the scouring force on the surface of the specimens was about 8 to 50 kPa under different scouring processes. Based on the influence of different immersion heights
scouring frequencies
and scouring time on the specimens
the optimal rotary scouring test parameters were proposed. The influence of unconfined compressive strength
voidage and compaction degree on the scouring damage of specimens was analyzed. Results show that the scour mass loss rate was approximately linearly decreasing with the increase in the unconfined compressive strength. In terms of anti-scouring
the compressive strength of CSMB should not be less than 4.0 MPa
and the cement content should not be less than 4.5%. The scour mass loss rate changed in the form of “U” with the increase in voidage
and the optimal anti-scouring voidage was between 2.5% and 5.0%. With compaction degree enhanced
the scour resistance of the specimens increased
and the lowest compaction degree should be greater than 98%. According to the influence of top surface void of base layer on the fatigue life of pavement structure in finite element simulation
based on the principle that the fatigue life of asphalt layer reduced by 40% to 60%
the scour resistance technical standard of CSMB was put forward.
