Study on Performance of Epoxy Asphalt Concrete Applied in the Deck Pavement of Pingsheng Steel Bridge
نویسندگان
چکیده
As a fair deck pavement material of its kind used in steel bridge, the epoxy asphalt concrete is considered much more superior to ordinary asphalt concrete in terms of road performance, while still greatly subject to the level of design and construction. Starting from a practical case of the epoxy asphalt concrete that has been applied in the deck pavement of Pingsheng Steel Bridge, this paper centers on a comprehensive study and discussion of the epoxy asphalt mixture, specifically in aspects of physical and mechanical performance test of stability under high temperature, performance under low temperature, tortuosity, immersion stability, linear contraction performance, fatigue performance and oil-erosion resistance performance. This will provide positive instruction for future deck pavements on steel bridges.

Highway bridges are frequently constructed as simple span structures with steel or concrete girders and a cast-in-place concrete deck, spanning from one pier to another. At each end of the simple span deck, a joint is provided for deck movement due to temperature, shrinkage, and creep. Bridge deck joints are expensive and pose many problems with regard to bridge maintenance. Elimination of deck...

This study reports the simulation of a photocatalytic system process and the photocatalytic property of self-cleaning asphalt concrete (SCAC) with four typical asphalt mixtures. A photocatalytic system was simulated based on the pollutant concentration data, which were collected on three types of city roads. Two photocatalytic indexes were proposed to evaluate the photocatalytic property of sel...
