摘要:
Asphalt pavement is inevitably affected by the rainfall in service stage. The interaction between vehicle and rainfall would cause the hydrodynamic pressure. What's more, pavement temperature also is changing with time. Temperature history and hydrodynamic pressure would influence the moisture diffusion in the pavement. Thereby, moisture uptake of stone, asphalt mortar and mixture at different temperatures and pressures were obtained by weighing. A pressured device was developed to evaluate impact of pressure on the moisture uptake. Diffusion coefficients of those materials were determined based on Fick's second law. And then, 2D micro mechanical FE model of asphalt mixture was developed with the help of digital image processing technology. Effects of temperature and pressure on moisture diffusion depth were analyzed using FEM. Results showed that the rise in temperature and pressure caused the increment of diffusion coefficient. This also resulted in the ascending of moisture diffusing depth. Influence of mortar characteristic on moisture diffusion was more significant than that of aggregate. Under the actions of wet-dry cycles, the moisture concentration in the deep part of mixture risen monotonously, while it varied periodically in the shallow part. The longer the drying period was, the lower the moisture concentration. Moisture concentration of asphalt pavement may be largest at 0.2-0.5 times the layer thickness after intermittent rainfalls. Although pressure can accelerate the diffusion, influence of hydrodynamic pressure on the diffusing depth was not outstanding since the actuation duration of the tire on pavement was too short.
