Abstract
A method for relieving vaulted expansion of a cement-stabilized base layer through precut seams. The method firstly establishes an RBFN model according to a large number of observation results of a vaulted expansion amount of the cement-stabilized base layer under different conditions (such as temperature and a stress release structure) in Xinjiang and similar regions; and on such a basis, the vaulted expansion amount of the cement-stabilized base layer to be designed is predicted. When the vaulted expansion amount is greater than a control requirement, the RBFN model is configured to design a reasonable width and a reasonable interval of the precut wide expansion seams to ensure that the vaulted expansion amount of the cement-stabilized base layer is less than a control value. Based on the design of the RBFN model, the present invention provides a corresponding construction method for the precut wide expansion seams. The present invention can predict the vaulted expansion of the cement-stabilized base layer without precut seams according to existing data.
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention belongs to the technical field of road construction, and particularly relates to a method for relieving vaulted expansion of a cement-stabilized base layer through precut seams.


BACKGROUND

After years of exploration, practice, and accumulation by traffic builders in China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region (hereinafter “Xinjiang”), a cement-stabilized base layer is well adapted to the dry and rainless climate characteristics of Xinjiang due to its advantages of wide distribution of its structural materials, easiness in exploration, better strength and rigidity and water stability. Most of the trunk roads in Xinjiang have adopted such a semi-rigid road surface base layer structure. A mixture of the cement-stabilized base layer is a temperature-sensitive material. When temperature changes, the cement-stabilized base layer will generate a thermal expansion and cold contraction phenomenon, resulting in a temperature stress and expansion and contraction deformation. In addition, a grading of the mixture, the cement performances, contents easily soluble salts, a compaction degree and the like have a certain effect on the deformation of the cement-stabilized base layer. In recent years, with the sustained and rapid development of economic society, the road traffic volume has increased rapidly, the thickness of a cement-stabilized base layer structure has gradually increased, and the strength requirements continuously increase. The problem of vaulted expansion and cracking of the cement-stabilized base layer is more and more obvious. The road surface diseases caused by the vaulted expansion and cracking of the cement-stabilized base layer has always been an urgent problem. In recent years, the cement-stabilized base layer of several highways built in southern Xinjiang has generated huge temperature stress and expansion deformation under the high-temperature weather conditions in summer after several years of operation, which causes the vaulted expansion and cracking of different degrees in the base layer of the road segments.


Therefore, by exploring the laws and causes of the vaulted expansion disease of the cement-stabilized base layer in Xinjiang, key technologies in the aspects such as prevention and control design for vaulted expansion, construction and maintenance of the cement-stabilized base layers of the highways in Xinjiang and similar regions are developed, and reasonable and practical improvement measures are provided. To minimize the diseases of the cement-stabilized base layers and prolong the service life of roads, prevention and treatment guidelines for the vaulted expansion of the cement-stabilized base layers are finally formed to guide the promotion of prevention and treatment technologies for the vaulted expansion of the cement-stabilized base layers in Xinjiang. A technical support is provided for the aspects such as design, construction and maintenance of the cement-stabilized base layers of the highways, and a contribution is made to the advancement of road traffic science and technology.

105) Steps 101), 102), 103) and 104) are repeated until the prediction error is less than 0.1 mm, and the RBFN model parameters are saved.


(2) Using the RBFN Model


According to the established RBFN model, the vaulted expansion amount of the cement-stabilized base layer without a wide expansion seam structure and the vaulted expansion amount of the cement-stabilized base layer with different wide expansion seam structures are predicted, so as to determine a reasonable width and a reasonable interval of the wide expansion seams. The specific steps are as follows.


(a) For the cement-stabilized base layer to be designed, the construction temperature of 32° C., the cement content of 4.0%, the mineral material grading of C-B-1, the environmental humidity of 40%, the controlled salt content of 0.2%, and a compaction degree of 98% are determined, i.e., x1-x7 in the drawing “neural structure of radial basis function network”, and x8 and x9 are set to 0.


(b) The RBFN model is used to predict that the vaulted expansion amount of the cement-stabilized base layer to be designed is 169.3 μm, which is greater than 100 μm, and the wide expansion seams need to be disposed.


(c) For example, three groups of x8 and x9 combinations, namely 20 mm (width) and 50 m (interval), 50 mm (width) and 50 m (interval), and 50 mm (width) and 150 m (interval) are selected. The RBFN model is used to predict the vaulted expansion amounts of the cement-stabilized base layer under the condition of the three combinations, which are 54.6 μm, 113.4 μm, and 143.7 μm respectively. Therefore, only the design of the wide expansion seams of 20 mm (width) and 50 m (interval) meets the control requirements for the vaulted expansion amount of the cement-stabilized base layer, and 20 mm (width) and 50 m (interval) are used as the design values of the precut wide expansion seams.


(3) Performing a Construction Method for Designing Precut Seams


According to the width and interval of the wide expansion seams determined in step (2), the cement-stabilized base layer is constructed on a roadbed 6. Except for a construction process for the precut wide expansion seams, other construction processes for the cement-stabilized base layer are the same as the traditional construction processes for the cement-stabilized base layer. The construction process steps for the precut wide expansion seams are as follows: (a) the positions of the precut wide expansion seams of the cement-stabilized base layer to be constructed are determined according to an interval of 50 m of the precut wide expansion seams, referring to FIG. 2(a) and FIG. 2(b), wherein FIG. 2(a) is a top view and FIG. 2 (b) is a sectional view. After determining the positions of the expansion seams, appropriate adjustments may be made according to a bridge and culvert structure, etc., and at least one expansion seam should be disposed between adjacent bridge and culvert structures. The expansion seams may be disposed in combination with the positions of construction seams of the cement-stabilized base layer.


(b) Cutting of the precut wide expansion seams is performed: a depth of the wide expansion seams is a thickness of the cement-stabilized base layer, and the width is 2 mm, referring to FIG. 3. The seams may also be cut after the cement-stabilized base layer is paved.


(c) The expansion seams are filled after cutting, referring to FIG. 4. A material for the precut wide expansion seams may be selected according to the actual situation. In the present embodiment, the precut seams 1 are filled with hot asphalt 3, as shown in FIG. 4.


(d) After the filling, a glass fiber grid 2 and an extruded board are disposed above the wide expansion seams. After the glass fiber grid 2 and the extruded board 4 are paved, a lower surface layer material, i.e., coarse-grained asphalt concrete (AC-25) 5 is paved above the cement-stabilized base layer, as shown in FIG. 4.
