Experimental Investigation of Stochastic Mechanical Behavior of Cement Emulsified Asphalt Mortar under Monotonic Compression

Experimental investigation on cement emulsified asphalt mortar (CA mortar) under uniaxial monotonic compression by taking into account the stochastic properties were investigated. An analytical constitutive model based on the statistic damage approach capable of mimicking the stochastic mechanical responses of CA mortar under uniaxial compression was proposed. The comparison between the experimental results and the predictions demonstrated that the proposed model was able to characterize the salient features for CA mortar under uniaxial monotonic compression. Furthermore, the compressive stochastic evolution (SE) of CA mortar tested in this work and comparative analyses among typical China Railway Track System-I (CRTS-I) type CA mortar and concrete in several aspects were examined and performed; it was revealed that the Lognormal distribution density function can well represent the damage probability density for CA mortar, and its stochastic constitutive relationship can be reflected by a media process of transition from microscale to macroscale.
