In order to figure out the influence of the warm-mix agent EC-120 on the performance of the asphalt binder and its micro mechanism in warm-mixing process, a matrix asphalt, A-70, and SBS-modified asphalt, SBS I-D, were modified with different contents of EC-120, respectively. Then, conventional macromechanic performance tests, dynamic shear rheological (DSR) test at high-temperature, and bending beam rheological (BBR) test at low-temperature were carried out on asphalt binder samples. Meanwhile, they were microscopically analyzed through Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR) and differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). The results indicated that EC-120 can reduce the viscosity of asphalt binder at high temperature. With the increase of EC-120 content, the high-temperature rutting resistance of two kinds of warm-mix asphalt (WMA) increased, but their crack resistance at low-temperature was reduced. FTIR indicated that this is due to the generation of oxides containing carbonyl functional groups after EC-120 was blended with asphalt binder. The DSC endothermic curves of WMA binders are obviously different from those of base binders, and a strong endothermic peak appears in the interval of 102°C–113°C, indicating that EC-120 will endothermically melt at the temperature of 102°C∼113°C, so it can play the role in reducing the viscosity of asphalt binder at the range of construction temperatures.

Warm mix agent is the key factor to restrict the performance of warm mix asphalt. In this paper, methods of X-ray diffraction, thermal stability test, and laser particle size analysis were used to test and analyze the internal structure, composition, and properties of three kinds of warm mix agents. In order to study the performance impact of the warm mix agent on SBS-modified asphalt, the warm mix agents of Advera®, LTA synthetic zeolite, and 13X synthetic zeolite were added to SBS-modified asphalt in different contents. The three kinds of warm mix asphalt were tested by the experiments of softening point, penetration, and ductility to analyze their physical properties. The testing results showed that the softening point of three kinds of warm mix SBS-modified asphalt is greater than the softening point of SBS-modified asphalt without adding warm agents, which indicate the warm mix additives can improve the high-temperature stability of SBS-modified asphalt. The three kinds of the warm mix agent make SBS-modified asphalt hard, and the consistency and the ability of resisting deformation increase. The low temperature performance of SBS-modified asphalt decreased in different degrees with mixing different zeolite warm mix agents.

The objective of this research was to investigate the influence of Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) additives on asphalt mixture properties through the laboratory testing programs such as air voids, tensile strength ratio (TSR), dynamic stability, and low temperature bending failure strain tests. The experimental design included the use of three WMA additives of Sasobit, Evotherm and Rediset, one base (unmodified) binder source, and one modified binder source. The WMA mixtures were compared to those of controls, i.e., mixtures without the additives. Results from this study showed that: (1) WMA mixtures with Rediset, Evotherm, and Sasobit had slightly higher air voids than Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA); (2) All WMA mixtures with SBS modified asphalt have lower TSR values than the original ones. The TSR of the WMA mixtures with base (unmodified) asphalt is not significantly different from HMA; (3) The WMA mixtures with SBS modified asphalt have lower values of the dynamic stability and bending failure strain than HMA, while the WMA mixtures with base asphalt are contrary, except with Rediset additives.

Through conventional and unconventional tests, the influences of self-developed warm-mix agent on the performances of SBS modified asphalt are studied. The results show that the warm-mix agent has great influences on the ductility and aging quality changes of SBS modified asphalt; and the warm-mix agent can improve the asphalt rutting factor G*/sinδ and fatigue factor G* • sinδ. The mixing ratio of the warm-mix SBS modified asphalt mixture is designed based on GTM method and the pavement performance is compared and verified. The results show that: in terms of high temperature performance, the warm-mix asphalt mixture is superior to the corresponding hot-mix asphalt mixture; and in terms of low temperature performance and water stability, the former is equivalent to the latter.

Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) technology has become increasingly popular in pavement construction because of its environmental benefits and its fine engineering properties. In order to optimize mixing performance of WMA, four kinds of warm mix additives used in China were evulated by viscosity testing. Thus, this paper is mainly to reduce bitumen viscosity, which in turn improves mix workability, produces fewer emissions, and generally creates better working conditions. Results identified that the Sasobit additive has a large viscosity reduction and has a fine workability, and is appropriate for pavement construction.

In order to solve the problems caused by asphalt diseases and prolong the life cycle of asphalt pavement, many studies on the properties of modified asphalt have been conducted, especially polyurethane (PU) modified asphalt. This study is to replace part of the styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) modifier with waste polyurethane (WP), for preparing WP/SBS composite modified asphalt, as well as exploring its properties and microstructure. On this basis, this paper studied the basic performance of WP/SBS composite modified asphalt with a conventional performance test, to analyze the high- and low-temperature rheological properties, permanent deformation resistance and storage stability of WP/SBS composite modified asphalt by dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) and bending beam rheometer (BBR) tests. The microstructure of WP/SBS composite modified asphalt was also observed by fluorescence microscope (FM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), as well as the reaction between WP and asphalt. According to the results of this study, WP can replace SBS as a modifier to prepare WP/SBS composite modified asphalt with good low-temperature resistance, whose high-temperature performance will be lower than that of SBS modified asphalt. After comprehensive consideration, 4% SBS content and 15% WPU content (4 S/15 W) are determined as the suitable types of WPU/SBS composite modified asphalt.

The softening point of modified asphalt is an extremely important indicator to evaluate the high-temperature performance; its the temperature of modified asphalt sample emerging shear deformation under the action of certain shear stress according to the specific heating rate. Its found that in the actual construction and testing, different temperature conditions has a larger impact on the softening point of the modified asphalt, which has adverse affect on road construction. This paper studied and researched the influence of temperature on modified asphalt softening point indicators from the different test temperature, including packing compact temperature, scraper temperature in removal of asphalt that above test mode, standing temperature, curing temperature and initial heating temperature before test.
