Abstract

An indoor vibrational dissolution scouring test was designed to investigate the effects of vibrational frequency, vibrational acceleration, environmental temperature, and dissolution medium on the dissolution characteristics of cement-stabilized macadam base material during water erosion. The results showed that the dissolution damage effect exists in cement-stabilized macadam, and dissolution is an important evaluation index of its base failure. The amount of calcium ion (Ca2+) dissolution and pH of cement stabilized gravel increased with increasing vibrational time. When the vibrational frequency was in the range of 80180  Hz, the amount of dissolved Ca2+ and the pH of the solution first increased, and then decreased with the vibrational frequency. The Ca2+ concentration and pH of the solution reached their maximum at 140 Hz for 10 h. Of the four vibrational dissolution factors considered, vibrational acceleration produced the largest degree of dissolution of cement-stabilized macadam. The leached Ca2+ concentration increased with increasing temperature of the dissolution medium and the concentration of ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) solution, while increasing pH decreased dissolution.
