Abstract

In order to study the maintenance strategy of Epoxy Asphalt Concrete (EAC) in low temperature environment, the similarity of four anti-cracking performance indexes (plane strain fracture toughness, bending stiffness modulus, ultimate tensile stress and ultimate elongation linear strain) of EAC were analyzed, and the mathematical model for investigating the relationship between the number of freeze-thaw cycles and the comprehensive evaluation index of the crack resistance of epoxy asphalt mixture (EAM) was established in this paper. At first, the weight of each index is determined by one-way ANOVA. Then the anti-cracking performance of EAC under freezing-thawing condition is evaluated by fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method. The results show that the pavement maintenance bureau needs to carry out the maintenance of epoxy asphalt pavement on steel bridge deck every 30 days (1 month) for ensuring the crack resistance of EAC in winter with low temperature.
