ANALYSIS OF THE COUPLING EFFECT OF THERMAL AND TRAFFIC LOADS ON CEMENT CONCRETE PAVEMENT WITH VOIDS REPAIRED WITH POLYMER GROUT

Analysis of the Coupling Effect of Thermal and Traffic Loads on Cement Concrete Pavement with Voids Repaired with Polymer Grout

Under the repeated action of traffic and thermal loads, a cement concrete pavement Jackets slab may partially lose contact with its base course, and voids may develop underneath the slab.Such distress will greatly impact the pavement performance.To fill the voids and restore the base support to the slab, the technology of polymer grouting has been
