Highway agencies always face with the challenge of determining optimal timing for preventive maintenance, particularly in China where there are no condition indicators designed for determining adequate timing for applying preventive maintenance and little literature relating to the development of pavement performance. This work presented the indicators, including crack ratio （Rc）, rutting depth （DR）, international roughness index （IIR） and sideway force coefficient （CsF） to determine the adequate timing for preventive maintenance in China. The proper ranges of each indicator to apply to preventive maintenance were then recommended. They are 0.28%-1.4% for Rc, 10-15 mm for DR, 1.97-3.5 for lrR, 40--50 for CSF. Based on pavement condition survey data collected on the test roads in Hebei Province, China, on the application of slurry seal at different timings, the pavement performance was established and the adequate timings for applying slurry seal was studied. Based on benefit-cost analysis, it is suggested that the fourth year is the optimal timing for applying slurry seal based on the condition in China. A framework is established to determine the adequate timings of applying other preventive maintenance methods.展开更多
The slurry scaling with cationic emulsified asphalt, which is a new technique in highway construction, is rapidly extended at home and abroad.

The technique should apply an excellent slow set cationic cmulsincr. Now, slow set emulsificrs are ligninamines which are synthesized by trimethylamine-epichlorohydrin route. Owing to high price and unstable quality, the extending of slurry sealing technique is affected seriously. We prepare the ligninaminc by a novel synthetic method. By the novel method, the cost of production is reduced by more than 30%, and the products have stable quality, high emulsifying function and broad adaptability for various asphalts. The novel synthetic method uses soda lignin, secondary amines and inexpensive aminating assistants as raw materials. The technological process of the method may use either one or two-step process, and the technological condition arc uncomplicated and easy to master.展开更多
