Recently, China has started paying more attention to environmental protection, and the efficient utilization of exhaust gases produced by smelting has emerged as a key problem concern. The silica fume collected from the exhaust gases produced by smelting ferrosilicon or industrial silicon was often used as a cement concrete admixture. Using silica fume as an asphalt modifier can make exhaust gases profitable. In this study, silica fume/SBS composite-modified asphalt mortar was prepared to improve the performance of asphalt. The effects of the silica fume content, temperature, and ratio of filler asphalt on the composite-modified asphalt mortar were studied through the cone penetration, softening point, viscosity, dynamic shear rheological (DSR) test, and bending beam rheometer (BBR) test. The thermal stability of composite-modified asphalt was analyzed through the thermal analysis test. The results showed that with the increase of silica fume content and ratio of filler asphalt, the high-temperature performance of asphalt mortar was improved; the content of silica fume had a great influence on the low-temperature performance of asphalt mortar, the optimum silica fume content was 7%; increasing the ratio of filler asphalt reduced the low-temperature cracking resistance of asphalt mortar; the incorporation of silica fume enhanced the initial decomposition temperature, thermal residual rate, temperature in which the weight loss rate reaches the maximum, and the endothermic peak of maximum temperature and improved the properties of asphalt.

In order to study the high and low temperature properties, and fatigue properties, of silica fume/SBS (Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene) compound modified asphalt (SFSCMA), dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) and bending beam rheometer (BBR) are used to study matrix asphalt (MA), silica fume modified asphalt (SFMA) (silica fume (SF) 6%), SBS modified asphalt (SBSMA) (mass ratio of SBS to Matrix asphalt 4%), and silica fume/SBS compound modified asphalt, and the high temperature rheological properties of silica fume/SBS compound modified asphalt with different silica fume additions are also studied. The modification mechanism of SFSCMA was studied by scanning electron microscope (SEM). The investigation results turn out: along with the increase in the content of SF, the high temperature performance of SFSCMA is improved significantly. When the content of SF is 6%, the high temperature performance is the best. When the content of SF is more than 6%, the high temperature property of SFSCMA is lower than that of SBSMA. It is suggested to choose 6% as the content of SF. Compared with MA, SFMA, and SBSMA, SFSCMA has excellent high temperature performance; compared with MA and SFMA, the low temperature performance of SFSCMA is improved, but it is worse than that of SBSMA. Moreover, when the temperature is lower than −30 °C, its low temperature performance is close to that of MA, or even worse than that of MA. After the compound modification of SF and SBSMA, the fatigue properties of the asphalt are improved, and the fatigue performance of SFSCMA is the best among the four kinds of asphalt. There is a cross-linking force in the network structure of SFSCMA, which restrains the flow of the whole system, so that the stability of the compound modified asphalt is significantly improved, which is favorable to the high temperature performance and fatigue resistance of the compound modified asphalt. However, due to its low mobility, it has a negative impact on the low temperature performance of the compound modified asphalt. In addition, according to previous studies, compared with diatomite, it is proven that SF can reach the same level as diatomite in improving the high temperature performance and fatigue performance of asphalt. Therefore, SF can be used as a good choice of asphalt modifier and can achieve the purpose of waste recycling and environmental protection.

Fiber asphalt concrete has been more and more widely used in highway construction. For analyzing high and low temperature performance of fiber asphalt mixture, rheological properties of fiber asphalt mortar were studied through indoor test. Impact of Rheological properties of the fiber asphalt mortar on high temperature and low temperature properties of asphalt mixture was analyzed. Results showed that the larger fiber content was, the better performance of asphalt mixture's high temperature stability, fiber asphalt mortar rut factor and rutting tests results of asphalt mixture were linear correlation, reflecting the high temperature performance of asphalt mixture; With the increase of fiber content, variation of stiffness modulus, creep rate indicators and mixture low temperature performance was consistent, and rheological properties of fiber asphalt mortar could characterize low temperature performance of asphalt mixture.
