Durability Performance of PVA Fiber Cement-Stabilized Macadam
To further improve the durability of cement-stabilized macadam and guarantee the use quality and sustainability of a semi-rigid base, the current study was carried out. With the help of a dry shrinkage test, temperature shrinkage test, freeze–thaw bending test, and fatigue test, the effect of incorporating PVA fiber on the deformation characteristics of cement-stabilized macadam was analyzed, and the changes in low-temperature residual toughness of the mixture before and after modification were compared. The low-temperature toughness of PVA fiber cement-stabilized macadam was evaluated with the help of the standard toughness evaluation method. The fatigue life prediction equation of PVA fiber cement-stabilized macadam was established based on the Weibull distribution. The results showed that PVA fiber can effectively improve the deformation characteristics, low-temperature toughness, and fatigue performance of cement-stabilized macadam. The low-temperature residual flexural tensile strength and low-temperature bearing capacity were increased by 10.3% and 55.3%, respectively. The residual toughness indices were increased by 58.6%, 88.1%, and 98.3% and the residual strength index was increased by more than 100%. The fatigue life was improved by 178~368% under different stress intensity ratios. The fatigue life values obeyed the two-parameter Weibull distribution, and the correlation between the fatigue life prediction equation and the measured data was significant. The fatigue life prediction error was between 0.03 and 4.9% under different stress intensity ratios.
