1 Background

By the end of 2017 the total mileage of expressways in Chinais close to 130000 km among which the service period of5ndash10 years accounts for up to 45 +e performance evalu-ation of the old road surface and the design of the pavementmaintenance scheme will determine the investment budgetfor the reconstruction of the old road network [1]Pavementperformance evaluation is based on the collected pavementcondition data to judge the degree of pavement performancetomeet the requirements of use It is helpful to understand thepavement condition and the change rule of service perfor-mance making reasonable countermeasures and is the basisof making corresponding maintenance and reconstruction

measures [2] Pavement performance generally remains goodfor 1 to 5 years In 6 to 15 years pavement performance isdegraded due to natural environment factors traffic loadsand temperature changes A series of diseases such as ruts andcracks appear on the road surface Under the comprehensiveinfluence of various factors [3 4] the asphalt pavement ofexpressway needs a large area of maintenance for 5 to 8 yearsresulting in a large capital investment +erefore in order tomaintain the level of highway service delaying the decline ofroad performance reducing asset losses extending the servicelife of the road surface are the main tasks of highwaymaintenance management [5]

In recent years many experts and scholars at home andabroad have conducted a large number of theoretical studies

on pavement suitability evaluation and prediction Developedcountries engaged in this research earlier and its researchideas and methods have been mostly in the establishment ofthe road management system and road maintenance systemto achieve Among them a representative study has beendeveloped by the US Army Construction Engineering Re-search Institute of the PAVER system +e penalty methodwas first used to establish the pavement damage evaluationmodel by considering the road condition information con-dition evaluation and prediction +e method can accuratelycalculate and reduce overall damage caused by a variety ofdamage of pavement [6] +e Arizona management systemused the evenness and cracking data to evaluate thepavement performance [7]+e Milligan state road man-agement system management proposed the road perfor-mance attenuation curve the forecast road performance[8] In 2001 Prozzi from the University Of Californiaproposed a method to analyze and evaluate pavementperformance by combining field test data with experi-mental data [9] In the same year Nunoo from FloridaInternational University proposed to adopt the compositecomprehensive evaluation algorithm to optimize themultiyear integrated pavement maintenance plan for thenetwork pavement management and maintenance prob-lems [10] +e SHRP which began in 1987 considerspavement long-term performance (LTPP) research as a 10-year highway research project with the goal of providingthe means and assistance to ldquoimprove pavement perfor-mance and service liferdquo [11] In 2001 Hao from ChangrsquoanUniversity analyzed the necessity research plan and re-search strategy of carrying out long-term pavement per-formance research in his doctoral thesis ldquopavementperformance evaluation and analysis researchrdquo [12]

In terms of pavement performance evaluation there aregenerally two categories of evaluation indexes single indexand comprehensive index +e evaluation model mainlyincludes PSI [13] of AASHO in the United States CanadarsquosRCI [14] Japanrsquos MCI and Chinarsquos PQI and RQI+is paperrelies on the research carried out by the Chinese project sothe Chinese PCI and RQI models are selected

Hebei Province is a typical semiarid climate region Atpresent the total length of expressways in Hebei Province is6531 km +e performance evaluation of old highwaypavement is especially difficult +e semiarid climate areahas less precipitation strong sunshine and sharp temper-ature change +e shrinkage deformation of highwaypavement in the semiarid climate area is particularlyprominent due to high temperature rutting in summer lowtemperature cracking in winter annual temperature dif-ference and diurnal temperature difference

In recent ten years researchers began to apply fuzzymathematics to highway performance evaluation index re-search Zhou et al proposed a prediction method ofpavement performance based on grey prediction theory andclustering analysis method [15] Chen established theevaluation model of highway asphalt pavement which iscreated on the basis of fuzzy evaluation grey relationshipand ameliorated artificial neutral network (ANN) [16] Inhighway pavement maintenance management decision-

making optimization Wen discussed highway pavementmaintenance project decision-making and maintenancefund allocation [17] Li put forward a method of expresswayasphalt pavement maintenance decision-making based onthe matter-element model +e model can greatly reduce thecalculation amount of the optimization analysis process ofeach maintenance section [18]

Based on the above background this paper relies on thereconstruction and expansion project of Xinglin section ofthe Taihang mountain expressway and a method of highwaypavement performance evaluation based on fuzzy mathe-matics is proposed

2 Climate Characteristics and EngineeringDescription of Semiarid Areas

+e semiarid climate zone refers to the zone whose meanannual precipitation is less than the evaporation [19] thedrought index AI (the ratio of annual precipitation and theannual evaporation) is in the range of 02 to 05 the pre-cipitation is commonly 200sim400mm the temperaturechanges sharply and the annual sunshine amount variesgreatly +e difference in sunshine is more than 30 degreesCelsius and the highest temperature can reach 75 degreesCelsius +e areas include the central and eastern InnerMongolia Hebei Yanbei in Shanxi northern region ofShanxi Xihaigu in the south of Ningxia Dingxi in GansuYuzhong Yushu in Qinghai Guoluo Lhasa in Tibet andother regions Rainfall is directly related to pavement waterresistance and temperature difference is directly related topavement high and low temperature performance Corre-lation analysis based on fuzzy mathematics can solvemultifactor problems better

+e XingtaindashLinqing expressway based on this study islocated in the south of Hebei Province with gentle to-pography and topographic forms of alluvial diluvial andlimnetic plain For the warm temperate semiarid monsoonclimate region weather is like in spring drought windysummer weather hot and rainy and winter weather coldand less snowy +e annual average temperature is 131degCthe average temperature is 269degC In July the extrememaximum temperature is 418degC the average temperaturefrom December to January is minus 35 degrees Celsiusand the extreme minimum temperature is minus216degC +eaverage annual precipitation is about 550mm+rough theinvestigation and analysis of road conditions it is foundthat the sections with high temperature rutting in summerare significantly distributed and the transverse and lon-gitudinal cracks of the road surface are widely distributed+e types of pavement diseases are closely related to thetemperature and precipitation in this area

3 Evaluation and Analysis of the ExistingStandard Indexes

In this study the highway from Xingtai to Linqing in thesemiarid climate region of Hebei Province was selected andthe pavement performance index (PCI) [20] road drivingquality index (RQI) and rutting depth evaluation (RDI)

were used to analyze the change rules of various pavementperformance indexes from 2011 to 2016 Pavement struc-tural strength [21 22] was used to evaluate the variation rulesof deflection in 2015 and 2016 (Figures 1ndash6)

According to Figures 1ndash3 from 2011 to 2016 the overalltrend of the PCI index of pavement damage decreased yearby year +e road surface driving quality index (RQI) is allabove 90 points indicating that the road surface is in goodcondition +e rutting depth index (RDI) of the road surfaceshowed that the rutting depth index of the road surfacedecreased continuously with the increase of years and thedecay law of the road surface performance was obvious Itcan be concluded from the analysis that the rutting depthindex RDI affecting the road surface of this section is relatedto the quality of internal pavement material and pavementstructure as well as external climatic conditions and trafficconditions

+e bending and subsidence data of the Taihangmountain expressway from Xingtai to Linqing in thesemiarid climate region of Hebei Province in 2015 and 2016were selected for analysis and the strength variation ruleswere evaluated (Figures 4ndash6)

According to the analysis in Figures 4ndash6 SSI data of theroad surface from Xingtai to Linqing section of the Taihangmountain expressway in 2015 and 2016 show that with theincrease of the service period the overall strength of the roadsurface structure presents a downward trend +e mainfactors of intensity attenuation are heavy traffic largetemperature difference and other meteorological and en-vironmental factors

4 Comprehensive Evaluation of PavementPerformance Based on Fuzzy Mathematics

41 Analysis Steps

411 Determine the Factor Domain of the Evaluation Object+e evaluation fuzzy phenomenon first determines theevaluation factors and the collection of these factors con-stitutes the evaluation factors [23] +e theory of domain ofour countryrsquos current technical specification for the highwayasphalt pavement maintenance JTG comprehensive evalu-ation index PQI H20-2007 is composed of four indexesnamely the pavement damage index roughness rut andantisliding performance So the factors concerning domainU (PCI RQI RDI SRI)

412 Domain the Evaluation Grade eory Domain theevaluation grade theory divides the evaluation objects intoseveral levels generally from 4 levels to 9 levels [24] In thispaper the evaluation is divided into five grades namely theevaluation theory of field V= (excellent good mediumsecondary bad) = (A B C D E)

413 Establish the Fuzzy Relation Matrix After the hier-archical fuzzy subset is constructed the evaluated objectsshould be quantified from each factor one by one that is themembership degree of the evaluated objects to the

on pavement suitability evaluation and prediction Developedcountries engaged in this research earlier and its researchideas and methods have been mostly in the establishment ofthe road management system and road maintenance systemto achieve Among them a representative study has beendeveloped by the US Army Construction Engineering Re-search Institute of the PAVER system +e penalty methodwas first used to establish the pavement damage evaluationmodel by considering the road condition information con-dition evaluation and prediction +e method can accuratelycalculate and reduce overall damage caused by a variety ofdamage of pavement [6] +e Arizona management systemused the evenness and cracking data to evaluate thepavement performance [7]+e Milligan state road man-agement system management proposed the road perfor-mance attenuation curve the forecast road performance[8] In 2001 Prozzi from the University Of Californiaproposed a method to analyze and evaluate pavementperformance by combining field test data with experi-mental data [9] In the same year Nunoo from FloridaInternational University proposed to adopt the compositecomprehensive evaluation algorithm to optimize themultiyear integrated pavement maintenance plan for thenetwork pavement management and maintenance prob-lems [10] +e SHRP which began in 1987 considerspavement long-term performance (LTPP) research as a 10-year highway research project with the goal of providingthe means and assistance to ldquoimprove pavement perfor-mance and service liferdquo [11] In 2001 Hao from ChangrsquoanUniversity analyzed the necessity research plan and re-search strategy of carrying out long-term pavement per-formance research in his doctoral thesis ldquopavementperformance evaluation and analysis researchrdquo [12]

In terms of pavement performance evaluation there aregenerally two categories of evaluation indexes single indexand comprehensive index +e evaluation model mainlyincludes PSI [13] of AASHO in the United States CanadarsquosRCI [14] Japanrsquos MCI and Chinarsquos PQI and RQI+is paperrelies on the research carried out by the Chinese project sothe Chinese PCI and RQI models are selected

Hebei Province is a typical semiarid climate region Atpresent the total length of expressways in Hebei Province is6531 km +e performance evaluation of old highwaypavement is especially difficult +e semiarid climate areahas less precipitation strong sunshine and sharp temper-ature change +e shrinkage deformation of highwaypavement in the semiarid climate area is particularlyprominent due to high temperature rutting in summer lowtemperature cracking in winter annual temperature dif-ference and diurnal temperature difference

In recent ten years researchers began to apply fuzzymathematics to highway performance evaluation index re-search Zhou et al proposed a prediction method ofpavement performance based on grey prediction theory andclustering analysis method [15] Chen established theevaluation model of highway asphalt pavement which iscreated on the basis of fuzzy evaluation grey relationshipand ameliorated artificial neutral network (ANN) [16] Inhighway pavement maintenance management decision-

making optimization Wen discussed highway pavementmaintenance project decision-making and maintenancefund allocation [17] Li put forward a method of expresswayasphalt pavement maintenance decision-making based onthe matter-element model +e model can greatly reduce thecalculation amount of the optimization analysis process ofeach maintenance section [18]

Based on the above background this paper relies on thereconstruction and expansion project of Xinglin section ofthe Taihang mountain expressway and a method of highwaypavement performance evaluation based on fuzzy mathe-matics is proposed

2 Climate Characteristics and EngineeringDescription of Semiarid Areas

+e semiarid climate zone refers to the zone whose meanannual precipitation is less than the evaporation [19] thedrought index AI (the ratio of annual precipitation and theannual evaporation) is in the range of 02 to 05 the pre-cipitation is commonly 200sim400mm the temperaturechanges sharply and the annual sunshine amount variesgreatly +e difference in sunshine is more than 30 degreesCelsius and the highest temperature can reach 75 degreesCelsius +e areas include the central and eastern InnerMongolia Hebei Yanbei in Shanxi northern region ofShanxi Xihaigu in the south of Ningxia Dingxi in GansuYuzhong Yushu in Qinghai Guoluo Lhasa in Tibet andother regions Rainfall is directly related to pavement waterresistance and temperature difference is directly related topavement high and low temperature performance Corre-lation analysis based on fuzzy mathematics can solvemultifactor problems better

+e XingtaindashLinqing expressway based on this study islocated in the south of Hebei Province with gentle to-pography and topographic forms of alluvial diluvial andlimnetic plain For the warm temperate semiarid monsoonclimate region weather is like in spring drought windysummer weather hot and rainy and winter weather coldand less snowy +e annual average temperature is 131degCthe average temperature is 269degC In July the extrememaximum temperature is 418degC the average temperaturefrom December to January is minus 35 degrees Celsiusand the extreme minimum temperature is minus216degC +eaverage annual precipitation is about 550mm+rough theinvestigation and analysis of road conditions it is foundthat the sections with high temperature rutting in summerare significantly distributed and the transverse and lon-gitudinal cracks of the road surface are widely distributed+e types of pavement diseases are closely related to thetemperature and precipitation in this area

3 Evaluation and Analysis of the ExistingStandard Indexes

In this study the highway from Xingtai to Linqing in thesemiarid climate region of Hebei Province was selected andthe pavement performance index (PCI) [20] road drivingquality index (RQI) and rutting depth evaluation (RDI)

were used to analyze the change rules of various pavementperformance indexes from 2011 to 2016 Pavement struc-tural strength [21 22] was used to evaluate the variation rulesof deflection in 2015 and 2016 (Figures 1ndash6)

According to Figures 1ndash3 from 2011 to 2016 the overalltrend of the PCI index of pavement damage decreased yearby year +e road surface driving quality index (RQI) is allabove 90 points indicating that the road surface is in goodcondition +e rutting depth index (RDI) of the road surfaceshowed that the rutting depth index of the road surfacedecreased continuously with the increase of years and thedecay law of the road surface performance was obvious Itcan be concluded from the analysis that the rutting depthindex RDI affecting the road surface of this section is relatedto the quality of internal pavement material and pavementstructure as well as external climatic conditions and trafficconditions

+e bending and subsidence data of the Taihangmountain expressway from Xingtai to Linqing in thesemiarid climate region of Hebei Province in 2015 and 2016were selected for analysis and the strength variation ruleswere evaluated (Figures 4ndash6)

According to the analysis in Figures 4ndash6 SSI data of theroad surface from Xingtai to Linqing section of the Taihangmountain expressway in 2015 and 2016 show that with theincrease of the service period the overall strength of the roadsurface structure presents a downward trend +e mainfactors of intensity attenuation are heavy traffic largetemperature difference and other meteorological and en-vironmental factors

4 Comprehensive Evaluation of PavementPerformance Based on Fuzzy Mathematics

41 Analysis Steps

411 Determine the Factor Domain of the Evaluation Object+e evaluation fuzzy phenomenon first determines theevaluation factors and the collection of these factors con-stitutes the evaluation factors [23] +e theory of domain ofour countryrsquos current technical specification for the highwayasphalt pavement maintenance JTG comprehensive evalu-ation index PQI H20-2007 is composed of four indexesnamely the pavement damage index roughness rut andantisliding performance So the factors concerning domainU (PCI RQI RDI SRI)

412 Domain the Evaluation Grade eory Domain theevaluation grade theory divides the evaluation objects intoseveral levels generally from 4 levels to 9 levels [24] In thispaper the evaluation is divided into five grades namely theevaluation theory of field V= (excellent good mediumsecondary bad) = (A B C D E)

413 Establish the Fuzzy Relation Matrix After the hier-archical fuzzy subset is constructed the evaluated objectsshould be quantified from each factor one by one that is themembership degree of the evaluated objects to the

Page 3: HighwayPerformanceEvaluationIndexinSemiaridClimate ... · ation index PQI H20-2007 is composed of four indexes, namely, the pavement damage index, roughness, rut, and antislidingperformance.Sothefactorsconcerningdomain

were used to analyze the change rules of various pavementperformance indexes from 2011 to 2016 Pavement struc-tural strength [21 22] was used to evaluate the variation rulesof deflection in 2015 and 2016 (Figures 1ndash6)

According to Figures 1ndash3 from 2011 to 2016 the overalltrend of the PCI index of pavement damage decreased yearby year +e road surface driving quality index (RQI) is allabove 90 points indicating that the road surface is in goodcondition +e rutting depth index (RDI) of the road surfaceshowed that the rutting depth index of the road surfacedecreased continuously with the increase of years and thedecay law of the road surface performance was obvious Itcan be concluded from the analysis that the rutting depthindex RDI affecting the road surface of this section is relatedto the quality of internal pavement material and pavementstructure as well as external climatic conditions and trafficconditions

+e bending and subsidence data of the Taihangmountain expressway from Xingtai to Linqing in thesemiarid climate region of Hebei Province in 2015 and 2016were selected for analysis and the strength variation ruleswere evaluated (Figures 4ndash6)

According to the analysis in Figures 4ndash6 SSI data of theroad surface from Xingtai to Linqing section of the Taihangmountain expressway in 2015 and 2016 show that with theincrease of the service period the overall strength of the roadsurface structure presents a downward trend +e mainfactors of intensity attenuation are heavy traffic largetemperature difference and other meteorological and en-vironmental factors
