Abstract

In order to study the growth pattern of compressive strength and adiabatic temperature rise of cement-stabilized macadam (CSM), preparing CSM with different structures and different cement admixtures. Seven grades of CSM were studied experimentally by means of porosity ratio, permeability coefficient, mechanical property and adiabatic temperature rise tests. It was found that the unconfined compressive strength of cement-stabilized macadam of various structures increased with the increase of maintenance time, and the strength of cement-stabilized macadam grew fastest in the first 28 day, and then the growth gradually slowed down. The growth law of unconfined compressive strength and splitting tensile strength of cement-stabilized macadam was investigated, and the growth model of compressive strength of CSM was established. For CSM, the temperature rise rate not only depends on the cement admixture but also is closely related to the aggregate skeleton structure. The adiabatic temperature rise model applicable to CSM was further established, and it was proposed that the fitting of the CSM trend by the CSM temperature rise growth formula is consistent with the actual measurement curve, and the cement-stabilized macadam temperature-growth equation has a good physical meaning and is suitable for the temperature simulation calculation of CSM, and the research results can make more accurate temperature history during the construction of large volume CSM prediction.
