Grey Correlation Analysis Method to Analyze the Influence Factors of Attenuated Performance of Asphalt Mixture under Water-Temperature-Radiation Cycle Action

Abstract

In order to accurately simulate the combined action of rainfall, high temperature and sunshine effect on asphalt mixture, the experiment of water-temperature-radiation circulation was designed. The changes of air void, split tensile strength, freeze-thaw splitting tensile strength and dynamic stability were quantitatively analyzed under the condition of different asphalt-aggregate ratio and different striking times during water-temperature-radiation cycle. Grey correlation analysis method was used to analyze the influence factors of the four parameters mentioned above, and comprehensive correlation was put forward to evaluate the influence factors of mechanical properties of asphalt mixture. It is proven that, the cycle index of water-temperature-radiation is the main factor. The striking times and asphalt-aggregate ratio influence mechanical properties of asphalt mixture less than the cycle index, and the initial void influences least.
