Background
The steel fiber reinforced asphalt concrete is a novel pavement material, and has excellent physical and mechanical properties such as high strength, crack resistance, freezing resistance and the like compared with the traditional asphalt concrete. Meanwhile, due to the conductivity of the steel fibers, the steel fiber asphalt concrete is also used for paving a snow-melting road surface with an electrothermal effect. It is known that steel fibers are not uniformly dispersed in asphalt concrete, and the non-uniform dispersion of steel fibers often causes the performance of steel fiber asphalt concrete to be deteriorated, so that the added steel fibers cannot be fully utilized. Therefore, it is very important to quantitatively evaluate the dispersibility of the steel fibers in concrete.
The existing method for evaluating the dispersibility of steel fibers in the asphalt mixture is to detect the dispersion condition of the steel fibers in a test piece by CT tomography. Generally speaking, because the density of a test piece is high, the power of a common CT machine is not enough to penetrate through an asphalt mixture test piece, and an industrial CT machine is required to be used, the requirement of the method on equipment is high; on the other hand, CT observation is expensive and is difficult to be widely used in actual engineering.
