Abstract In order to better evaluate the composite modified asphalt of composite modified asphalt, this study through dynamic shear rheological (DSR) test, the three kinds of polymer modified asphalt before and after ageing: the compound modified asphalt (CCR), rubber powder modified asphalt (CR) and composite modified asphalt of SBS modified asphalt (SBS) analysis, to explore suitable for composite modified asphalt of modified asphalt evaluation index. The results show that: Compared with G*/sinδ, G*/(sinδ)9 has higher accuracy for evaluating the composite modified asphalt of polymer modified asphalt and is more sensitive to changes in phase angle. The critical temperature of anti-rutting factor TG*/sinδ9 is significantly higher than that of TG*/sinδ, especially for composite modified asphalt. This has an important impact on the PG classification in the Superpave asphalt binder specification. G*/sinδ underestimates the high temperature grade of the modified asphalt. The equivalent viscosity measured with η’ = sinδ-4.8628 G*/ω has the best correlation with the anti-rutting factor G*/(sinδ)9, and the highest correlation coefficient is 0.999, which is more suitable as a high-temperature property evaluation index of modified asphalt.

In order to achieve the penetration method which could reflect the high temperature property of SBS modified asphalt, the paper presented the penetration test of SBS modified asphalt with different types and dosages of SBS modifier at three kinds of penetration weight and four different temperatures. Meanwhile, the high temperature performance of the SBS modified asphalt mixture was studied. It was found that penetration measured under current specification method (25oC, 100g, 5s) could not identify the difference of viscosity and high temperature property of different SBS modified asphalt. When the test conditions are revised to “penetration weight of 150 g, test temperature of 30oC, penetration time of 5s”, the penetration of different SBS modified asphalt measured by revised method could be used to evaluate the temperature susceptibility of SBS modified asphalt accurately and are closely related to the dynamic stability of mixture.

Strong ultraviolet light and low-temperature are the typical environmental characteristics in high-altitude areas. The performance of SBS-modified asphalt in the above environmental characteristics needs further study. To improve the resistance ultraviolet (UV) ageing and low-temperature performance of copolymer- (SBS-) modified asphalt, an SBS-modified asphalt containing nano-ZnO and nano-TiO2 is proposed. In this paper, nano-ZnO, nano-TiO2, and SBS were used as modifiers with the silane coupling agent (KH-560) as the nanomaterial surface modification. The orthogonal test table was used to analyse the effects of the three modifiers on the physical properties of modified asphalt at different dosages. On this basis, the physical properties, low-temperature properties, and ageing indices (carbonyl index and sulfoxide index) were studied for base asphalt, SBS-modified asphalt, nano-ZnO/SBS-modified asphalt, and nano-ZnO/nano-TiO2/SBS composite-modified asphalt before and after photoaging. The content changes of characteristic elements (Zn and Ti) in the nano-ZnO/nano-TiO2/SBS composite-modified asphalt before and after ageing were studied by scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive spectroscopy (SEM/EDS), and the UV ageing mechanism was revealed. The results indicate that two nanoparticles show the best compatibility with asphalt after surface modification and can improve the binding ability between SBS and base asphalt. The orthogonal test analysis shows that nano-ZnO has a highly significant effect on the low- and high-temperature performance of the nano-ZnO/nano-TiO2/SBS composite-modified asphalt, and nano-TiO2 has a significant effect on the high-temperature performance. Three optimal composite-modified systems for base asphalt including 4% nano-ZnO/1.5% nano-TiO2/3.2% SBS were proposed and had the best antiaging ability. Compared with the sulfoxide index, the carbonyl index changed most obviously before and after ageing. Additionally, the results reveal that nano-TiO2 has a good absorption effect at a wavelength of 365 nm (ultraviolet light), while nano-ZnO is liable to photolysis, and its activity decreases at this wavelength.

Waste engine oil bottom (WEOB) is a hazardous waste whose effect as an additive to CR+SBS modified asphalt is rarely studied. In this study, the CR+SBS asphalt binder was modified with WEOB in different concentrations (3, 6, and 9 wt%). The GC–MS and FTIR were performed to evaluate the chemical compositions of WEOB and WEOBCR+SBS asphalt. The results showed that the main constituents of WEOB were similar to the functional groups of asphalt, along with maleic anhydride (MAH). Pavement performance-related rheological tests such as RV, temperature sweep (TS), FS, MSCR, and BBR were carried out. Results show that WEOBCR+SBS-6 exhibited the best high- and low-temperature property, followed by CR+SBS-3 and CR+SBS-9. Fluorescence microscope (FM) test, bar thin layer chromatograph (BTLC) test, FTIR, and AFM tests were carried out to evaluate the micro-morphologies and modification mechanism. The analysis revealed increased trends in resin fraction as opposed to asphaltene fraction with the increase of WEOB content. FTIR analysis revealed that the amide groups in WEOBCR+SBS asphalt bonded to the free radicals of CR. Moreover, a modification mechanism was elaborated. WEOB strengthens the cross-linked structure of CR+SBS polymers, reacting with SBS to graft onto MAH-g-SBS, and the free radical of CR interacts with the amide group in WEOB to form a bond. In addition, the content of lightweight components and surface roughness of SBS specimens were in good correlation, which contributed to the rutting resistance and adhesion and self-healing performance.

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.

The study of effects of high temperature on asphalt binder based on viscoelasticity theory will help clarify the influence mechanism of temperature on asphalt binder. Based on the theory of viscoelasticity, the Dynamic Shear Rheology test is used as study method. The objective of this study is to analyze and determine the features of asphalt binder under the effect of high temperature. Meanwhile, study subjects are AH70 asphalt, SBS modified asphalt and MAC modified asphalt. The result indicates that temperature increases have great influence on asphalt binder, which are shown by the variation of parameters quickly decrease. The relationship between temperature and such parameters as complex modulus, storage modulus, loss modulus, complex viscosity, storage viscosity, loss viscosity, rutting resistance parameter and fatigue resistance parameter can be described as regression of power function.

the aging existing in use and construction of bituminous pavement will directly resulting in shortening of the pavement’s service life. It is provide the theoretical basis of the design and construction of the SBS modified asphalt mixture to analyze the influence of aging to the rheological property of SBS modified asphalt under high temperature. The testing for the rheological property of three kinds SBS modified asphalt under high temperature has been finished before and after the aging in construction by Brookfield DV Ⅱ+ type of rotation viscometer. The results indicated that viscosity will be increased and the sensitivity of SBS modified asphalt to viscosity will also be lowered along with increase of aging degree. The testing for the rheological property of three kinds of SBS modified asphalt has been finished before and after aging in usage period by the dynamic shear rheometer (DSR). The results shown that G* will be continually increased along with increase of aging degree and this is consistent with change of base asphalt. And this shown that the increase of G* can only come down to oxidation and aging of base asphalt contained in the modified asphalt and also, asphaltene in SBS modified asphalt will be changing in the mode same with that of base asphalt.

Utilization of waste corn stalks (CS) has seized extensive attention due to high annual output and hazardous impact of piling aside or direct combustion on environment. However, previously there has been a lot of emphasis on improvement of its energy efficiency as solid fuel while limited investigations are available which explore the possibility of applying corn stalks as performance enhancer in asphalt binder. The purpose of this study is to examine the potential of employing hydrochar as modifiers in asphalt binder by a series of experimental tests. In this study, two hydrochar were produced from corn stalks by a novel process called hydrothermal carbonization at a different reaction temperature. The two hydrochar and their responding hydrochar-modified asphalt (HCMA) were tested by chemical and rheological tests. Chemical analysis detected the interaction between hydrochar and binder factions, resulting in poor compatibility but satisfying anti-aging property. Even though hydrochar increased the viscosity of bitumen, implying worse workability, and caused poor storage stability, ameliorated performance of asphalt binder at high temperature by incorporating hydrochar was verified by various criteria such as higher performance grade (PG) failure temperature and lower non-recoverable creep compliance (Jnr). Moreover, higher reaction temperature makes hydrochar’s particles smaller and more homogeneous, which results in slightly lower enhanced high temperature performance, more satisfying workability, better storage stability, and greater anti-aging effect of hydrochar-modified asphalt. Eventually, this study provided a promising win-win solution to environment problems concerning corn stalk treatment and shortage of asphalt binder. Further exploration of methods to improve HCMA’s storage stability, real-scale corroboration on trial section and life cycle assessment of asphalt pavement containing hydrochar modifiers will be followed in the future.
