Polyether polyurethane concrete (PPC) is a new engineering material used for bridge deck pavement. In this article, the aging resistance performance of PPC for long-term service is evaluated. Based on the actual climate and environment conditions of bridge deck pavement, the indoor laboratory simulation considering various environmental factors was first proposed, and then the indoor accelerated aging tests of PPC were carried out. Finally, the Cantabro test, the low-temperature bending beam test, the rutting test, the splitting test under freeze-thaw cycle, and four-point bending fatigue test were conducted on the aged PPC specimens. The performances of anti-loose, resistance to permanent deformation, low temperature, water stability, and fatigue resistance were evaluated and compared with styreneic block copolymers (SBS) modified asphalt mixture (SBSM). Test results showed that PPC had good anti-aging performance, and the road performance of PPC after aging was still better than that of non-aging SBSM, which can be used for the long-term service as a bridge deck pavement material.
A watermarking technology is a kind of marker covertly embedded to identify ownership of the copyright. The existing database watermarking techniques cannot automatically adapt to different types of data and have poor robustness. In this paper, we present a new robust database watermarking scheme. The scheme can automatically adapt the watermarking algorithm and parameters according to the data characteristics for numerical and text-based data. We have theoretically established and verified experimentally the performance of our method in terms of robustness and less data distortion. This makes it suitable for copyright protection, owner identification, or traitor tracing purposes.
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.
