Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to a system and a method for testing the foaming performance of asphalt, belonging to the technical field of road asphalt mixture tests.
Background
The foamed asphalt is also called as expanded asphalt, and is characterized in that a proper amount of water is injected into matrix asphalt under a certain high-temperature condition, and the water is heated to form bubbles so as to rapidly expand the volume of the asphalt, thereby generating a large amount of asphalt foam, and the asphalt foam can be broken in a short time. In this process, the bitumen undergoes only physical changes, and the viscosity of the foamed bitumen is significantly reduced, so that it can be sufficiently and uniformly mixed with the cold, moist aggregate. The foamed asphalt is mainly suitable for cold regeneration technology and warm mixing technology of roads, has the advantages that other road building technologies can not be replaced, can reduce the road maintenance cost, and has great benefits on environmental protection and energy conservation.
The pavement performance of the foamed asphalt mixture is directly determined by the asphalt foaming effect, and the pavement performance is mainly evaluated by adopting the expansion rate and half-life period indexes at present. When an asphalt foaming test is carried out, two modes, namely manual visual inspection and a precise dynamic distance measurement method, are mostly adopted to obtain the foaming effect evaluation index.
The manual visual inspection method calculates the change in the foamed asphalt expansion ratio (the ratio of the maximum volume measured in the asphalt foamed state to the volume in the unfoamed state) by manually observing the change in the readings of a scale fixed to the measuring tub, and measures the half-life of the foamed asphalt (the time taken for the maximum volume of the foamed asphalt to decrease to half) by a stopwatch. Because the time for generating and breaking the asphalt foam is short, the whole foaming and breaking process is generally completed within 20s, and the asphalt foam rises and falls in the measuring container at a high speed, and the liquid level is not even. Therefore, the manual visual testing method is too dependent on experience, the subjectivity is too strong, the testing error is large, and the accuracy of the evaluation of the foaming performance of the foamed asphalt is seriously influenced. In addition, the method cannot record the test process and reproduce and check the test result.
The precise dynamic ranging method is mainly used for measuring the maximum expansion rate and the half-life period of the foamed asphalt in precise dynamic ranging modes such as laser and sound wave. Although the technical means can completely record the whole process of the foaming test and has relatively high test precision, the technical means has higher requirements on test equipment, higher cost and complex operation and cannot be conveniently carried.
In addition, the two methods cannot observe the size distribution rule and the change trend of the asphalt foam, and the acquisition of the size distribution rule of the asphalt foam has important significance for exploring the foaming mechanism and evaluating the foaming effect of the asphalt foam. Moreover, because the asphalt has larger adhesiveness and is a black opaque substance, and the temperature of the foamed asphalt measuring container is generally lower, the foamed asphalt is often adhered to the measuring scale in the measuring process, thereby greatly reducing the measuring accuracy. The ruler needs to be cleaned after each test, the procedure is complicated, and the ruler is easy to damage. Therefore, a simple and easy test system and method capable of automatically recording the whole process of asphalt foaming and cracking and simultaneously measuring the trend of asphalt foam size distribution and height changing along with time is urgently needed.
Digital image acquisition and processing, which is a process of converting an image signal into a digital signal and processing it with a computer, has been widely used in the fields of biomedical engineering, mechanical engineering, civil engineering, and the like. According to the method, a high-speed industrial camera is adopted to acquire the digital image of the asphalt foaming process, and then a computer vision system and a Matlab software development platform are used to enable the measurement of the asphalt foaming performance to be intelligentized.
