In addition, train operation can be started quickly after asphalt paving is completed, and the track can be quickly restored in the event of major deformation due to derailment, etc., and it is a recyclable material. But one of the most important environmental factors affecting the mechanical properties of asphalt mixtures is temperature, that is, temperature distribution and environmental conditions of asphalt concrete track have influence on the performance. Therefore, in order to verify the temperature effect on asphalt concrete tracks, the pressure acting on the upper surface of the subballast layer and the strain of the lower surface of the asphalt layer were measured during one year of train operation. In this study, the load distribution characteristics, plastic deformation and crack resistance according to temperature, and theoretical and analytical analyses based on domestic and international design standards were conducted for the structure of asphalt concrete track, specifically the asphalt concrete layer and subballast layer. AC tracks are affected by temperature as in previous literature, and show larger values compared to the values of Fixed point load tests, but the pressure of the subballast layer directly underneath the rail is 46.68 kPa to 54.81 kPa, which is within the allowable subballast pressure (133 kPa), and the asphalt layer strain rate also shows a low value of 17.19–21.58με. Through this research, it was confirmed that asphalt concrete track meets the design standards and possesses excellent load distribution characteristics, plasticity, and crack resistance. In addition, numerical simulations were conducted to analyze the influence of train speed, and the results showed that asphalt concrete tracks can ensure safety in terms of support even when a train runs at 350 km/h.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":288,"journal":{"name":"Construction and Building Materials","volume":"469 ","pages":"Article 140511"},"PeriodicalIF":7.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143479931","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper proposes a novel approach that transitions from traditional passive methods of improving frost resistance to an active method. It fundamentally inhibits the freezing of pore water and reduces or eliminates frost heave forces. Hydrogels were prepared using a physical freeze-thaw method and its formation mechanism, microstructure, and mechanical properties were thoroughly analyzed. The hydrogels were then broken into particles and incorporated into cement to create enhanced cementitious materials. The frost resistance of these composites was evaluated to elucidate the mechanism by which the hydrogels improve frost resistance. Results indicated that the addition of hydrogels did not lead to the formation of new hydration products but promoted cement hydration by maintaining more unfrozen water. The amount of ice formation and the freezing rate in hydrogel cement composites were significantly lower than in pure cement paste. This effectively inhibited freeze-thaw damage and substantially improved frost resistance. Specifically, the mass loss rate of cement paste reached 7.19 % after only 125 freeze-thaw cycles, exceeding the freeze-thaw damage threshold. In contrast, hydrogel-enhanced cementitious materials demonstrated a mass loss rate of just 0.15 % after 250 freeze-thaw cycles. They also exhibited a compressive strength reduction of only about 10 %, maintaining nearly 50 MPa. Additionally, the flexural strength test for cement paste prism specimens could not be performed after 150 freeze-thaw cycles due to severe damage. In contrast, the flexural strength of hydrogel cement composites decreased by only 3.50 % at minimum. These results highlight the potential of hydrogel-modified cementitious materials for creating more resilient infrastructure that can withstand harsh freeze-thaw conditions. This advancement contributes to more sustainable construction practices.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":288,"journal":{"name":"Construction and Building Materials","volume":"469 ","pages":"Article 140482"},"PeriodicalIF":7.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143480043","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Firstly, NaOH roasting converts insoluble fluorine and aluminum compounds into soluble NaF and NaAlO<sub>2</sub> phases, respectively. These phases are selectively extracted into the solution via water leaching. Under optimal conditions, the leaching rates of fluorine and aluminum reached 99.5 % and 98.4 %, respectively. The residue is then subjected to acid leaching to further purify the graphite purity from 86.2 % to 98.6 %. Finally, the aqueous leaching solution and acid leaching solution are mixed to recover fluorine and aluminum in the form of cryolite.

This remarkable capability has facilitated their widespread application in practical engineering projects. The design process for hot recycled asphalt mixtures is referenced to hot-mixed asphalt mixtures. When evaluating the performance of hot recycled asphalt mixtures, it is generally required to refer to the test protocols for conventional hot-mixed asphalt mixtures, including the conditioning time prior to performance testing. However, the phenomenon of diffusion and blending between virgin and RAP binders in the recycled mixtures introduces a level of instability in performance following the mixing and compaction processes. This instability can result in significant inaccuracies in performance evaluation results. Therefore, it is essential to clarify the impact of the degree of blending(DOB) between virgin and RAP asphalt on the performance of recycled mixtures to prevent misestimation of their performance. For this purpose, the present study selected three different sources of RAP to prepare nine groups of recycled mixtures with varying RAP content, and analyzed the variation of the DOB between virgin and RAP asphalt, as well as the performance of the recycled mixtures after different conditioning times. Results indicated that the degree of blending between virgin and RAP asphalt in the recycled mixtures continued to increase after the forming process until full blending was achieved. The time required for full blending is influenced by the RAP content, the aging level of RAP binders, and the gradation variability of the mixture. The DOB between virgin and RAP asphalt significantly influences the high-temperature performance, low-temperature performance, and water stability of the mixtures.This variation can cause the properties of the designed recycled mixtures to deviate from expectations. Therefore, it is advisable to conduct performance testing of the recycled mixtures only after achieving full blending between the virgin and RAP asphalt, ensuring more accurate evaluations. Finally, to facilitate this process, a predictive model has been established to estimate the time required for the full blending of virgin and RAP asphalt in recycled mixtures.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":288,"journal":{"name":"Construction and Building Materials","volume":"469 ","pages":"Article 140519"},"PeriodicalIF":7.4,"publicationDate":"2025-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143474810","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
