The result shows that (1) The anti-sliding performance of GSAM and LAM under the action of abrasion has the same attenuation trend, which is basically divided into the attenuation period with fast and high attenuation rate and the stable period with slow attenuation rate, and GSAM has strong anti-skid performance. Under the same grading condition, LAM has large attenuation rate, while the final attenuation value of anti-skid indicator of GSAM is large. (2) There is a good correlation among the measured MPD, BPN20 and DF80 during the wearing process of asphalt mixture. The MPD can be used to calculate the BPN20 and DF80 of each asphalt mixture during the wearing process. (3) The logarithmic model in the empirical model can be used for regression analysis of the anti-skid durability of the asphalt mixture. Among the 3 indicators, the fitting effect of MPD on the attenuation rule of anti-skid performance is good, which can better reflect the relationship between pavement structure depth and abrasion times of the asphalt mixture.(4) The basic road performance of GSAM of the 2 gradations, such as high temperature stability, low temperature crack resistance and water stability, meet the requirements of the specification, and their overall performance are superior to those of the corresponding LAM.]]> <![CDATA[A Model for Adjusting and Controlling Asphalt Pavement Construction Temperature Based on Feedback Control Principle]]> <![CDATA[Study on TiO<sub>2</sub>/ZnO-BF Composite Modified Asphalt and Mixture Performance]]> 2/ZnO) and basalt fiber (BF) as the modifiers for composite modification of asphalt and mixture, and the dense graded TiO2/Zno-BF composite modified AC-13C asphalt mixture is prepared. Based on the performance research of raw materials such as asphalt, TiO2/ZnO, and basalt fiber, the composite modified asphalt is prepared. Through tests of softening point, ductility, rotational viscosity, thin-film oven, and temperature sensitivity analysis, etc., the effects of different dosages of TiO2/ZnO and 6% basalt fiber on the performance of asphalt are evaluated. By mix design, the optimum asphalt-aggregate ratio of the mixture under different mixing combinations of TiO2/ZnO and basalt fiber is determined. Relevant laboratory tests of high-temperature stability, low-temperature cracking resistance, water stability, and fatigue performance are carried out on the composite modified asphalt mixture to evaluate their road performance.

TiO2 photocatalyst has certain photocorrosion resistance and catalytic activity. The samples are prepared by adding different amounts of TiO2 photocatalyst (0, 30%, 50%, 70%, 100%) instead of mineral powder into the macroporous asphalt mixture. The cumulative degradation rates of the macroporous asphalt pavement samples under different porosities, different amounts of TiO2 photocatalyst, and different reaction time are measured, and the change rule and the change of pavement performance of the mixture are analyzed. The result shows that (1) The higher the porosities of the asphalt mixture, the better the effect of adding TiO2 photocatalyst, and the stronger the degradation capacity of automobile exhaust. (2) The analysis of the automobile exhaust degradation efficiency shows that the optimal mixing amount range is 50% to 70%. Within this range, the maximum degradation efficiency of CH, NO, CO reaches 0.039 75%/10 min, 0.083 93%/10 min and 0.032 73%/10 min respectively. (3)The analysis of reaction time shows that the cumulative degradation efficiency increases with the increase of reaction time after adding TiO2 photocatalyst, and the growth rate slows down after 50 minutes. Adding TiO2 photocatalyst can effectively degrade vehicle exhaust. (4) Especially for replacing mineral powder with the same content of TiO2 photocatalyst, it will not affect the water stability and high temperature stability of the macroporous asphalt mixture. On the contrary, with the increase of the content, the anti-flying ability of the macroporous asphalt mixture will be improved, but the low temperature performance will be reduced to a certain extent. Therefore, the content of supported TiO2 photocatalyst can be comprehensively considered according to actual needs.]]> <![CDATA[Influence of Steel Fiber and Polymer on Fracture Characteristics of Concrete and Mechanism Analysis]]> <![CDATA[Composition Design of Water-based Polymer Stabilized Macadam Material Based on Penetration Strength]]> 3 and the optimum moisture content of 4.4%.

The fractures in the direction perpendicular to the bedding of the sample are occurred and concentrated at the initial stage of dehydration for 0.5 h. After the capillary water is lost, the mineral shrinks due to water loss and gradually closes as the dehydration continues. (2) After the 6th dry-wet cycle, the disintegrated particles gradually transitioned from being dominated by large particles with diameter of >10 mm to being dominated by small particles with particle diameter of <10 mm, and the disintegrated particles became increasingly close to square rather than elongated particles.
