What are the characteristics of cold-paved asphalt mixture?
April 14, 2022

In the long-term use of asphalt pavement, diseases such as looseness, potholes, and spalling will occur. Pavement diseases not only reduce the traffic capacity of the pavement, but also deep potholes may even cause major traffic accidents. Therefore, potholes and damaged roads need to be dug up in time. At present, hot asphalt mixtures are mostly used for digging and repairing pavement potholes, which is feasible for pavement repairs with concentrated locations and a large amount of work. Too little is difficult to produce, and the construction unit is deeply inconvenienced by the operation of heat preservation and digging and repairing of hot asphalt mixture, especially in winter with low temperature and rainy and snowy weather. Therefore, the use of cold-paved asphalt mixture has become a good choice for the road maintenance department.

Cold-paved asphalt mixture is a kind of asphalt mixture composed of liquid asphalt and various additives according to a certain proportion, which has good porosity and compaction at room temperature. Cold-paved asphalt mixtures can be stored in airtight containers for months or longer without failure, and can still maintain a good loose state during use.
The cold-paved asphalt mixture has good adhesion and compaction, so the cold-paved asphalt mixture has the following advantages: (1) If the rolling equipment is not used for compaction during the excavation and repair of the road surface, the road surface will be damaged during the use process. During the rolling process of the train, the density will gradually increase, and the strength will gradually increase. (2) Due to the construction at room temperature, simple tools can be used to dig and fill the potholes, and the operation is quite convenient. (3) The cold-paved asphalt mixture is pre-produced and stored in the factory and is ready for use, so it is especially suitable for the perennial road pothole excavation or for road restoration after road excavation and burying of pipelines. (4) The pavement formed by rolling has basically the same performance and compaction parameters as the hot-paved asphalt pavement, and has good practicability. The above characteristics provide the premise guarantee for the feasibility of using cold-paved asphalt mixture.
Cold-paved asphalt mixtures are required to be mixed in an environment of 60℃~80℃. Compared with hot asphalt mixtures, the preparation and storage methods and material usage are different. At the same time, due to the low output of cold-paved asphalt mixtures, management, Storage and packaging requirements are high, so the cost is relatively high. However, the cold-paved asphalt mixture has good performance and still has a good market application prospect.
