Accurate evaluation and analysis of expressway pavement performance is a prerequisite for determining the pavement design scheme and maintenance scheme. Due to the fuzziness and randomness of many factors affecting the pavement performance, this paper relies on the reconstruction and expansion project of Xinglin section of the Taihang mountain expressway, a method of highway pavement performance evaluation based on fuzzy mathematics is proposed. The results show the following: ① the study uses the factor domain, the comment level domain, the fuzzy relationship matrix, the evaluation factor full vector, and the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation result vector five-step method. The method can be effectively combined with the multi-index comprehensive detection index used in the specification. ② Based on the multi-index comprehensive test and evaluation adopted in the specification, the performance grade of the old road surface was quantitatively evaluated by the iterative calculation of fuzzy mathematics that broke through the evaluation mode which was based on the traditional detection methods. The research results provide innovative theoretical methods for the accurate evaluation and analysis of highway pavement performance in the semiarid climate region and also play a technical supporting role for the pavement design scheme and maintenance scheme decision-making in the semiarid climate region.
With the implementation of the Xiongan New Area and the urbanization construction plan surrounding the Beijing-Tianjin satellite, it is urgent to study and apply the sponge-permeable paving materials to solve the “urban waterlogging and heat island effect.” In this paper, the hydration microscopic characteristics of cementitious materials are analyzed by means of the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) test. The test of water-cement ratio, porosity, and gradation structure on the strength and permeability coefficient is emphasized, and the strength change rule of porous permeable concrete is obtained. The research results are shown as follows: (1) The DSC test shows that the effect of temperature on the hydration process of cement is obvious. With the increase of temperature, the two exothermic peaks of cement hydration increase significantly and tend to overlap and the exothermic process is shortened. At 85°C, only one exothermic peak appeared, indicating that C3S hydration and ettringite formation process were completed at the same time in a relatively short time. (2) The optimal water-binder ratio of pervious concrete ranges from 0.24 to 0.30, and the optimal porosity ranges should be controlled within the range of 15%–25%. Moreover, the open gradation of pervious concrete mix ratio design is selected, and the cement content should be within the range of 20%–25%. (3) The mathematical model of permeability coefficient and porosity ratio of permeable concrete is established: k=−0.0003n2+0.0057n−0.0044; the mathematical model of permeability coefficient and compressive strength of open-graded pervious concrete: k=0.99006−0.05389c+8.02×10−4c2. The research results can provide theoretical support and technical guidance for the design and construction of permeable materials of sponge cities in Xiongan New Area and surrounding ring new area, which are of great engineering value.
