Polyurethane (PU) is a kind of clean material, which can be utilized as the binder for porous elastic mixture in pavement engineering. In this paper, curing performance of monocomponent polyurethane porous elastic mixture were investigated. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrum (FTIR) and Marshall test were conducted to analysis the curing performance of monocomponent polyurethane and polyurethane porous elastic mixture (PPEM).The results show that PPEM-I and PPEM-II are nearly fully cured after 4 days curing. In terms of Marshall stability, PPEM-I and PPEM-II are nearly fully cured after 4 days curing. And the Marshall stability of PPEM-I is higher than that of PPEM-II under the same room curing condition. Meanwhile, water sprinkle method can be adopted to improve the curing speed, when the water-PPEM ratio is 2%, the Marshall stability of PPEM-I and PPEM-II is close to that of 4 days room curing conditioned sample.
The amount of different rubber particles has a certain influence on the water stability and raveling resistance of polyurethane mixture. The more rubber particles are, the better the water stability and raveling resistance. Different grades have a certain influence on the water stability and raveling resistance. The addition of fine aggregate is conducive to improving the water stability of polyurethane mixture. Different kinds of polyurethane binders can change the polyurethane Water stability and raveling resistance of the mixture.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
