Development of the Asphalt Foaming Performance Evaluation System Based on Binocular Ranging Technology
Publication: Journal of Materials in Civil Engineering
Volume 36, Issue 10
Abstract
Due to the lack of essential understanding of asphalt foaming behavior, engineering problems such as mix design failure and unstable performance of foamed asphalt cold recycling mixtures are prone to occur. This paper develops a novel asphalt foaming performance testing system and proposes new indicators to evaluate the effectiveness of asphalt foaming. The 3D spatial coordinates of different points on the foamed asphalt surface and the height of the foamed asphalt corresponding to these coordinates can be continuously monitored by binocular ranging equipment. By analyzing these dynamic parameters, the application effect of binocular ranging technology, the expansion characteristics and dynamic evolution rules of foamed asphalt in the spatial domain are analyzed. Results showed that by a combined use of the designed binocular ranging system and new evaluation indicators, the foaming ability and post-foaming stability of asphalt can be accurately assessed by comprehensively reflecting the expansion characteristics of foamed asphalt. To achieve a more efficient mix design of foamed asphalt cold recycling mixture, the correlation between asphalt foaming indicators and the road performance of the mixture could be an important focus of the next stage.
