    Abstract:

    Laboratory tests were carried out to determine the material parameters of 10 densely graded cement stabilized crushed stone pavement base materials, which are of floating and frameworking aggregate structures with five (5) cement contents for each structure. Based on the test data, with consideration of actual conditions in highway construction, the anti-cracking properties of the materials were analyzed under changes in temperature and moisture by using the finite element method. Results of the analyses indicate that both the non-cracking ultimate temperature drops and the moisture losses deceases with the increase of cement content. For given cement content, the ultimate temperature drops and the moisture losses of frameworking materials are 19.9%~24.3% and 3.6%~6.8% higher than those of floating materials, respectively. The optimum cement content of the frameworking materials is 2% lower than that of the floating materials, while the ultimate temperature drops and the moisture losses of frameworking materials are 279%~294% and 109%~119% higher than those of the floating materials at the optimum cement content, respectively.
