Abstract
The rapid degradation of “Xing'an-Baikal permafrost” in Northeast China has led to various road engineering problems. Efficient inspection and control of pavement quality are critical for maintaining the structural integrity of roads and driving safety in cold regions. Taking the Jagdaqi-Walagan section (JWS) of the Jagdaqi-Mo'he Highway as the object, based on field investigation, unmanned aerial vehicle images and airborne LiDAR data, combined with geographical information system, this study analyzed the pavement damage characteristics in mid- to high-latitude permafrost regions, including quantification of damage ratio, extraction of pavement cracks, and evaluation of pavement roughness and driving quality. The results showed that the average pavement damage ratio was 8.80 %, significantly higher in isolated permafrost regions. A higher damage rate in the Jagdaqi-Mo'he direction than the opposite, with a more concentrated cracking distribution. The worst pavement roughness and most severe pavement bumping at repetitive repair locations. This study provides an effective method for investigating pavement damages and analyzing their mechanisms, and explores the application potential of visible light images combined with LiDAR data in frozen soil engineering. The results provide a scientific basis for assessing current highway conditions, enabling scientific maintenance, and evaluating the risk of engineering damages.
期刊介绍:
Cold Regions Science and Technology is an international journal dealing with the science and technical problems of cold environments in both the polar regions and more temperate locations. It includes fundamental aspects of cryospheric sciences which have applications for cold regions problems as well as engineering topics which relate to the cryosphere.
Emphasis is given to applied science with broad coverage of the physical and mechanical aspects of ice (including glaciers and sea ice), snow and snow avalanches, ice-water systems, ice-bonded soils and permafrost.
Relevant aspects of Earth science, materials science, offshore and river ice engineering are also of primary interest. These include icing of ships and structures as well as trafficability in cold environments. Technological advances for cold regions in research, development, and engineering practice are relevant to the journal. Theoretical papers must include a detailed discussion of the potential application of the theory to address cold regions problems. The journal serves a wide range of specialists, providing a medium for interdisciplinary communication and a convenient source of reference.
