This paper studies the statistical correlation in mechanical characteristics of class F fly ash based geopolymer concrete (CFGPC). Experimentally measured values of the compressive strength, elastic modulus and indirect tensile strength of CFGPC specimens made from class F fly ash (CFA) were presented and analyzed. The results were compared with those of corresponding ordinary Portland cement concrete (OPCC) using statistical hypothesis tests. Results illustrated that when possessing similar compressive and tensile strength, the elastic modulus for CFGPC is significantly lower than that of OPCC. The corresponding expressions recommended by standards for the case of OPCC is proved to be inaccurate when applied in the case of CFGPC. Statistical regression was used to identify tendencies and correlations within the mechanical characteristics of CFGPC, as well as the empirical equations for predicting tensile strength and elastic modulus of CFGPC from its compressive strength values. In conclusion, CFGPC and OPCC has significant differences in terms of the correlations between mechanical properties. The empirical equations obtained in this study could provide relatively accurate predictions on the mechanical behavior of CFGPC.
To verify the foamed warm mix asphalt mixture road property, the article formed foaming warm mix asphalt mixture, Sasobi-LM warm mix asphalt mixture, ordinary hot mix asphalt mixture test piece, comparative analysis of different asphalt mixture The resistance of high temperature to rutting, shear resistance, resistance of low temperature crack, water stability and fatigue properties, and comparative economic analysis. The results show that the resistance of low temperature crack, water stability and shear resistance of foamed warm asphalt mixture surpass Sasobi-LM warm asphalt mixture, but slightly lower than ordinary asphalt mixture; The resistance of high temperature rutting and fatigue resistance of the mixture is lower than that of Sasobi-LM warm mix asphalt mixture; through economic analysis, the economical efficiency of foamed warm mix asphalt mixture surpasses the economical efficiency of the Sasobi-LM warm mix asphalt mixture, lower than the ordinary hot mix asphalt mixture, it is recommended to choose construction in special areas.
Three types of aging methods were conducted on rubber powder modified asphalt, and the basic physical properties test, dynamic shear rheological test and infrared spectrum analysis were adopted to study the effect of aging methods on properties of rubber powder modified asphalt comprehensively. Results show that effects of different aging methods on physical properties of rubber powder modified asphalt are inconsistent. There is a slight influence of aging on its rheological properties, which means a better aging resistance. Through microanalysis, it can be found that there is a significant aging for rubber powder modified asphalt after pressurized aging, followed by the ultraviolet aging. The aging degree of rubber powder modified asphalt is relatively small after short-term thermal-oxidative aging.
The influence of wood fiber content on the road performance of asphalt mixture with high recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) content was studied based on the Marshall test, high temperature rutting test, low temperature crack resistance test and water stability test. And the optimum wood fiber content in RAP asphalt mixture with high RAP content was recommended. The results show that the dynamic stability and low temperature bending strain of RAP asphalt mixture increased and then decreased with the increase of wood fiber content. When the content of wood fiber is 0.3 %, the road performance of RAP asphalt mixture is the best. Compared with RAP asphalt mixture without wood fiber, the Marshall stability and low temperature flexural tensile strain of RAP asphalt mixture with 0.3% wood fiber increase by 7.1% and 4.6%, respectively, and the high temperature rutting resistance and water stability decreases.
