Analysis Of Performance

Sasobit warm mix drainage asphalt pavement has become increasingly popular due to its environmental benefits and comfortable using effect. However, test results show that its low-temperature and anti-fatigue performance have a certain degree of reduced. To improve the performance of asphalt four different doses (1%, 3%, 5% and 7%) of salt are added to the Sasobit asphalt. Laboratory tests were used to simulate short and long term aging asphalt in the process of construction and using pavement. A series of binder tests including bending beam rheometer (BBR), dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) and Brookfield viscosity tests were conducted. Results show an increase of rutting performance for warm mix binders with Sasobit while asphalt with salt has similar high temperature performance to original asphalt. Unlike Sasobit which has a decrease of cracking performance for asphalt at low-temperature, salinity can greatly improve the Low-temperature performance. And the low-temperature cracking performance and anti-fatigue performance presents a tendency of climbing up first and then declining with the increase of salinity. The figure of viscosity-temperature curve shows that the optimum of salinity is 5%.Further more, asphalt with Sasobit and salt can gain better performance and same mixing and compaction effect in lower 20°C than hot mix asphalt without it.

The Impact

This article presents a novel potential bio-based rejuvenator derived from waste pig fat (WPF) for use in recycled asphalt applications. To achieve this purpose, the impact of different doses waste pig fat (e.g., 0, 3, 6, and 9 wt.% WPF) on the reclaimed asphalt pavement binder (RAP-B) performance is investigated. The unmodified and WPF-modified asphalts are characterized by means of Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), thin-layer chromatography–flame ionization detection (TLC-FID), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Physico-rheological properties of asphalt blends are assessed through Brookfield viscometer, softening point, penetration, and dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) tests. TLC-FID data highlighted that incremental WPF addition into RAP-B restored its original balance maltenes-to-asphaltenes ratio; finding which was supported by FT-IR analysis. SEM disclosed that WPF has a great compatibility with the aged asphalt. AFM observations showed that grease treatment induced a decline in surface roughness (i.e., bee structures) and a rise in friction force (i.e., para-phase dimension) of RAP binder. TGA/DSC studies revealed that the bio-modifier not only possesses an excellent thermal stability but also can substantially enhance the binder low-temperature performance. Empirical and DSR tests demonstrated that WPF improved the low-temperature performance grade of RAP-B, reduced its mixing and compaction temperatures, and noticeably boosted its fatigue cracking resistance. The rejuvenation of aged asphalt employing WPF is feasible and can be an ideal approach to recycle both of RAP and waste pig fats.

The construction control indices were commonly used to ensure the quality of asphalt layers in the construction process. However, the relationship between the construction control indices and the low-temperature performance of asphalt layers is not clear. The purpose of this paper was to investigate the effect of the variations of the construction control indices on the low-temperature performance of asphalt mixtures to determine the key construction control indices, and propose the method for the monitoring of these indices using the Building Information Modeling (BIM) platform. The low-temperature performance of asphalt mixtures was evaluated by the semicircular bend (SCB) test. A new prediction model of critical strain energy release rate was established to evaluate the low-temperature performance of the asphalt layer. Five factors are considered for the low-temperature performance, which are the gradation and asphalt-aggregate ratio in the asphalt mixture plant, rolling temperature, gradation segregation, and temperature segregation. Orthogonal test (OT) results indicated that the order of importance of factors affecting the low-temperature performance is asphalt-stone ratio, gradation, and molding temperature. The influences of gradation segregation and temperature segregation on the low-temperature performance were quantified in this study. Furthermore, the construction control indices were monitored by the BIM platform developed in this research. In the construction process of the asphalt layer, the gradation variation caused by the segregation should be paid more attention to ensure the low-temperature performance of the pavement.

Low Temperature Performance

Oil modification of asphalt binders is a widely adopted strategy for meeting low temperature performance grade (PG) specifications. There is no shortage of data characterizing the rheological benefits of several oil modifiers. Current AASHTO M320/M332 specifications evaluate low-temperature performance using the bending beam rheometer which measures creep stiffness and relaxation properties of the asphalt binder after 20 h of aging using a pressure aging vessel (PAV). In this study, extended aging effects on oil and polymer modified binders are investigated using three oil-modified binders compared against a control binder using PG and PG+ testing methods. The oils evaluated include bio-oil and re-refined engine oil bottoms. All binders were subjected to a rolling thin film oven and 20-h PAV aging, as well as extended PAV aging of 40 and 60 h. Binders are evaluated using multiple stress creep recovery, AASHTO TP123 dynamic shear rheometry elastic recovery, and linear amplitude sweep tests in addition to standard PG methods. The results show that many of the rheological benefits supplied by the oils tend to diminish after 40 h of PAV aging. However, the long-term effects depend greatly on the type of oil used, as well as the type of polymer modification used. The results suggest that 20-h PAV aging may not be sufficient to predict the long-term performance of the binder, and that extended aging periods (40-h PAV aging) should be considered when selecting oil modified asphalts.
