During the service of asphalt pavement, the aging makes asphalt binder become brittle, gradually lose flexibility and adhesion. All these result in the low-temperature properties of asphalt pavement to be poor. This paper conducts the rolling thin film oven test (RTFOT) and pressure aging vessel (PAV) test on base asphalt and rubber-modified asphalt respectively. The bending beam rheometer (BBR) test was conducted on original asphalts, rolling thin film oven test (RTFOT) residuals and RTFOT + pressure aging vessel (PAV) residuals of base asphalt and rubber-modified asphalt respectively. Results indicate that the low-temperature properties of all aged asphalts were declined. The attenuation of low-temperature properties of RTFOT + PAV residuals is larger than that of the RTFOT residuals. The attenuation of different types of asphalt is different. From the overall trend, effect of aging on the low-temperature properties of asphalt binder reduced as the test temperature reduction. The rubber-modified asphalt has superior low-temperature performance than that of base asphalt, and its low-temperature performance decreases more slowly than the base asphalt.
