    Abstract:

    To stabilize high skid-resistant performance of EACCP, a method is proposed based on digital image technology to analyze texture structure of exposed-aggregate surface. By regulating digital image captured process of asphalt pavement surface, the error of digital image information could be reduced. Texture structure features of exposed-aggregate surface are acquired by means of the digital image. The curved surface model of image pixel space is established to calculate texture depth of exposed-aggregate surface. Utilizing the basic theory of image morphology, the binary image representing texture structure distribution is quantitatively analyzed. Calculating characteristic values of convex regions include number, area and its area ratios. The convex area percentage of exposed-aggregate surface can be contained. The results show that the relationship between convex area percentage and the skid-resistant value of its texture structure is an approximate parabola curve. To achieve high skid-resistant performance, the convex area percentage should be controlled within [0.5,0.43]. The texture depth should be controlled within [0.58 mm, 1.05 mm]. The grading characteristics of coarse aggregate has a significant effect on quality level of exposed-aggregate surface. The exposed-aggregate surface with 4.75-19 mm coarse aggregate gradation possesses high skid-resistant performance.
