Montmorillonite/SBS composite modifed asphalts were prepared by mixing montmorillonite with SBS-modified asphalt, further the corresponding asphalt mixtures were obtained. The paving technical indexes of the mixture such as physical properties, moisture suscepyibility, and high temperature stability were tested, and compared with that of the corresponding SBS-modifed asphalt mixture and base asphalt mixture. The results demonstrate that the montmorillonite/SBS composite modifed asphalt mixture exhibites enhanced stability, improved flow value and moisture susceptibility, and increased high temperature stability.

A series of laboratory tests on warm-mix AC-13 dense gradation asphalt mixture with 3% EC120 were carried out by the method of identical volume. A comparative analysis of common hot asphalt mixture was performed. The results indicate that the reduction of compaction temperature of warm-mix modified bitumen mixture is 27.1°C with addition of 3% EC120. The road performances of warm-mix asphalt mixture determined by the method of identical volume satisfied the specification. Compared to the common hot asphalt mixture, the warm-mix modified asphalt mixture has excellent high temperature stability, slightly low moisture susceptibility and better low-temperature crack resistance.

As a good asphalt modifier, natural asphalt has been the focus of more attention because of its low price and ability to improve the performance of modified asphalt. In this paper, the incorporation of a natural asphalt binder in the production of bituminous materials for pavement application in China was experimentally investigated to evaluate the feasibility of such a process and its potential benefits in terms of performance. For this purpose, an asphalt binder conventionally used in the south of China was blended with various percentages of a hard natural binder obtained from the region of Selenice in Albania. The content of Selenice natural bitumen (SNB) was 80.5%, having high molecular weight and the advantages of good stability and compatibility with virgin asphalt. The physical, rheological, and mechanical properties, as well as the modification mechanism of the binder and corresponding asphalt mixture, were evaluated in the laboratory. It was observed that the hard binder improved the response of the binder blend at high and intermediate temperature; this reflected a better stability, improved moisture susceptibility, and enhanced rutting resistance of the mixture. Fluorescence microscopy showed that after dissolving, the size of the SNB modifier became smaller and its distribution was uneven, presenting three forms, granular, agglomerated, and flocculent properties. Chemical test results showed that the modification mechanism of SNB was mainly related to the enhancement of hydrogen bonds and Van der Waals forces caused by sulfoxide and carbonyl along with the stress concentration caused by silica particles. Molecular composition revealed that the proportion of middle molecules has reduced while the proportion of large molecules has increased. It is considered that SNB is a promising low-priced natural modifier with excellent rutting resistance properties. Future research will be focused on the economic analysis, pavement life cycle assessment of SNB modified asphalt, and its application in perpetual pavements.

The primary objective of this study is exploring the moisture susceptibility of unmodified and SBS-modified hot and warm mix asphalt mixtures. To this end, two different WMA additives including Aspha-min and Sasobit were employed to fabricate WMA specimens. The moisture susceptibility of warm polymer modified asphalt (WPMA) mixes was evaluated using modified Lottman test at 25°C according to AASHTO standard (T 283). In addition, the effect of different percentages of hydrated lime (from 0% to 2%) and Zycosoil (from 0% to 0.1%) as anti-stripping additives on the moisture susceptibility of the mixtures was explored. Based on the ITS test results, WPMA prepared with Sasobit additive and polymer modified asphalt (PMA) mixes satisfied the desirable tensile strength ratio (TSR) (above 80%) but Aspha-min WPMA mixes had TSR lower than 80%.

pavement performance of SEBS modified asphalt mixture are analyzed. Dynamic shear rhometer(DSR) experiments were performed to evaluate the rheology properties of SEBS modified asphalt binder and performance of SEBS modified asphalt mixture was evaluated based on laboratory experiments, experiments included: wheel tracking, moisture susceptibility, low-temperature beam bending and fatigue. The results shows that the rheology properties of SEBS modified asphalt binder are more ideal than SBS modified asphalt binder on anti-fatigue effect. Tensile stress ratio(TSR) of SEBS modified asphalt mixture increases 5.0%, tensile strength increases 6.1% and tensile strain increases 19.8%, though the dynamic stability(DS) decreases 3.1%, the fatigue life-span increases significantly compared with SBS modified asphalt mixture. It means that pavement performance of SEBS modified asphalt mixture is better than SBS modified asphalt mixture, and it is more applicable to be utilized in highway engineerings and some special engineerings such as bridge deck pavement that need anti-fatigue performance.

Lignin, as a bio-based waste, has been utilized in the asphalt industry due to various advantages. This study aimed to investigate the effects of two lignin products (lignin powder and lignin fiber) on the mechanical properties of asphalt mixtures. The raveling, rutting, thermal and fatigue cracking resistance, and moisture susceptibility of different asphalt mixtures were respectively evaluated by the Cantabro test, wheel loading tracking test, semicircular bending test, four-point beam bending test, and freezing-thaw cyclic test. Results show that asphalt mixture with lignin powder-modified asphalt improved the overall mechanical performance. However, lignin fiber showed contradictory effects on certain mechanical properties, i.e., improved rutting resistance and thermal cracking resistance of asphalt mixture, degraded abrasion resistance, fatigue performance, and moisture stability. Therefore, cautions need to be taken when incorporating lignin fiber into asphalt mixture.
