Abrasion Resistance of Concrete01:23

Abrasion Resistance of Concrete

Abrasion resistance is an essential characteristic of concrete that determines its durability and longevity under various wear conditions. Concrete surfaces are vulnerable to different types of abrasion. For instance, surfaces may wear down due to the constant movement of vehicles or be eroded by solids carried in water, as seen in concrete canal linings. Specific tests are conducted to measure the abrasion resistance of concrete.
One such test is the revolving disc test, where three plates...

Area of Science:

  • Civil Engineering
  • Materials Science
  • Transportation Engineering

Background:

  • Pavement texture is crucial for road safety, influencing skid resistance and drainage.
  • The transverse evolution of pavement texture under concentrated wheel loading is not well understood.
  • Preventive maintenance aims to preserve pavement condition, but its effectiveness needs monitoring.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a 3D laser scanning framework for evaluating transverse homogeneity of preventive maintenance pavements.
  • To identify key indicators of pavement wear (asphalt film peeling, aggregate wear) in wheel tracks.
  • To quantify the transverse dispersion and evolution of pavement texture over time.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized 3D laser scanning to capture pavement surface data from ten field sections.
  • Analyzed reflection intensity histogram features and geometric texture parameters.
  • Screened indicators against transverse wheel-track distribution to find sensitive measures.
  • Selected weighted average grayscale (optical) and height-distribution kurtosis (geometric) as representative indicators.
  • Developed a homogeneity index based on normalized median absolute deviation to quantify transverse dispersion.

Main Results:

  • Weighted average grayscale and kurtosis demonstrated high sensitivity to wheel-track distribution (R²=0.973 and R=0.9057, respectively).
  • Wheel-track regions showed significantly greater optical and geometric deterioration compared to non-wheel-track areas.
  • Pavement transverse homogeneity decreased from six months to one year of service, indicating progressive wear.
  • The proposed framework effectively detected service-stage transverse wear evolution in the investigated sections.

Conclusions:

  • The 3D laser scanning framework provides a sensitive method for assessing pavement transverse homogeneity and wear.
  • Optical and geometric indicators, particularly weighted average grayscale and kurtosis, are effective in quantifying pavement deterioration in wheel tracks.
  • Pavement wear progresses over time, reducing transverse homogeneity and potentially impacting road performance.
  • Further multi-site validation is recommended for establishing generalizable threshold-based applications.
