Abstract

As road base materials, porous cement-stabilised aggregates (PCSA) can reduce the erosion damage caused by the water inside pavement structure. However, due to the reduced deformation resistance and anti-cracking ability associated with the high porosity, the application of PCSA has been held back. A laboratory experiment was conducted in this study to improve the cracking properties of PCSA through the incorporation of the styrene–butadiene rubber (SBR) latex. The effects of the SBR latex usage on permeability, compressive strength, flexural strength and anti-freezing ability (AFA) of PCSA were investigated. In addition, the modification mechanisms of the SBR latex on the PCSA properties were analysed. Test results indicated that the air voids and permeability coefficient decreased with the increase in the SBR latex dosages. The flexural strength and AFA were improved when the SBR latex dosages are between 10% and 15%. 7 d compressive strength has a slight decrease, while the 28 d compressive strength is increased. The significant increase in flexural strength and AFA can be attributed to the interpenetrating matrices formation, stretching effect as well as flexibility enhancement after adding the SBR latex.
