This study presented the preparation and performance of a kind of high viscosity and elastic recovery asphalt (HVERA) by using some modifiers. The performance of styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS), rock asphalt (RA), crumb rubber (CR), and stabilizing agent (SA) for different modifiers was investigated by conventional binder test. Effects of modifiers on the high- and low-temperature properties of HVERA were investigated. The dynamic viscosity (DV) test, dynamic shear rheometer (DSR), and bending beam rheometer (BBR) analysis indicated that the high- and low-temperature rheological properties of asphalt were improved attribute to the addition of mixture of modifiers. Meanwhile, the short-term aging and long-term aging were simulated by rolling thin film oven (RTFO) and pressure aging vessel (PAV) tests. Furthermore, the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) measurements were conducted for obtaining the mechanism and microstructure distribution of the modified asphalt binders. From the test results in this study, it was evident that the addition of SBS, RA, CR, and SA into a neat asphalt binder could both significantly improve the viscosity of the binder at high temperature and lower the creep stiffness at low temperature, which was beneficial to better both high-temperature stability and low-temperature cracking resistance of asphalt pavements. It was proved that the high temperature grade of HVERA could be increased by increasing of RA and a proper percentage of modifiers could be improved by the low temperature grade of HVERA.

Buton rock asphalt (BRA) is possessed of both performance and economic advantages. In order to reveal the modification mechanism, X-ray diffraction experiment (XRD), X-ray fluorescence spectrum analysis and environmental scanning electron microscopy experiment (ESEM) are used to study on microstructure of BRA in this paper. It demonstrates that BRA can extremely adsorb free bitumen due to abundant microscopic pores, which consists of 70~80 percent Buton rock (BR) minerals and 20~30 percent pure rock asphalt (RA). RA with high viscosity is strongly adsorbed internal and outer of the surface of BR, which has high alkaline pH, high crystallization and strong surface activity. Then a special microstructure named “RA~BR” blend with stable property and strong spalling-resistance capability develops. Meanwhile, dynamic stability rheology test (DSR) is employed to study on the rheological mechanics property of BRA modified asphalt mastic. The high temperature performance grade (PG) level of BRA modified asphalt mastic with different mixing content is determined. The reasonable mixing content of BRA in matrix asphalt is 20~30 percent. The research proves that BRA modified asphalt possesses wonderful high temperature stability and has broad prospects for pavement application.

The types and contents of styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) modifier are two important factors of SBS modified asphalt mixtures. Nowadays, SBS are extensively utilized to modified asphalt in order to improve the performance of the flexible pavement. The objective of this study is to determine a best selection of types and contents of SBS modifier, which can improve high-temperature stability; low-temperature anti-cracking performance and moisture susceptibility of SBS modified asphalt mixture. The mixtures with four types of SBS (Linear A, Linear B, Star A, Star B) and the different contents of each type SBS including Linear SBS of 0%, 3%, 4%, 4.5% and Star SBS of 0%, 3%, 3.5%, 4%, were evaluated for the pavement performance of them under laboratory conditions. Wheel tracking test, beam bending test and freeze-thaw tensile strength test were chosen and carried out to determine high-temperature stability, low-temperature anti-cracking performance and the moisture susceptibility respectively. The laboratory testing results indicate that Star SBS show the more effective effects than Linear SBS to improve the high-temperature stability, low-temperature anti-cracking performance and moisture susceptibility of SBS modified asphalt mixture, and the optimum content of SBS can also play a key role the improvement of the pavement performance.

In order to improve the road performance of drainage SBS modified asphalt mixture, basalt fiber was added to prepare drainage styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) modified asphalt mixture. The viscosity-toughness, toughness, and 60°C dynamic viscosity of SBS modified asphalt were tested. The modification effect was evaluated from the perspective of high and low temperature rheological properties by dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) and bending beam rheometer (BBR) tests. The high temperature stability, water stability, low temperature crack resistance, and drainage of basalt fiber SBS drainage asphalt mixture were evaluated and compared with nonfiber SBS drainage asphalt mixture and TPS drainage asphalt mixture. The morphology characteristics of asphalt mixture and the distribution of basalt fiber in the mixture were analyzed from a micro perspective. The results showed the following: the overall performance of basalt fiber is better than that of lignin fiber. SBS modifier content in 7% can meet the requirements of drainage asphalt pavement on asphalt binder. The optimum asphalt content of SBS modified asphalt mixture with basalt fiber content of 0, 0.15, 0.25, and 0.35% is 4.9, 5.05, 5.15, and 5.2%. The fiber is irregularly distributed in the mixture to form a three-dimensional network structure, which has a series skeleton function. It plays a tensile role in the initial cracking of asphalt mixture and prevents further expansion of cracks.

The property of asphalt binder plays an important role in the performance of asphalt mixture. The natural rubber additive (NRA) was recommended as a modifier in the preparation of high viscosity asphalt (HVA) binder. Then, the gradation named LASTIKA-13 was adopted to design the high viscosity asphalt mixture (HVAM) according to the orthogonal test analysis and the optimized gradation. The performance of the proposed HVAM was evaluated through a series tests including the permanent deformation at high temperature, moisture stability, low-temperature cracks, and bending fatigue test. The results indicate that the proposed modified asphalt binder shows a comparable property with the conventional modified asphalt binder. The proposed HVAM with the NRA modifier has a superior performance to other conventional mixtures in the temperature susceptibility and resistance to moisture damage. Furthermore, the proposed HVAM was less sensitive to the temperature change and has good performance in terms of resistance to low-temperature cracks, bonding characteristics, and fatigue behaviors.

With the rapid development of economic construction, styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS)-modified asphalt is being more and more widely used in highway engineering, but there are still many deficiencies in the process of its use. In order to further improve its performance for use, nano-organic palygorskite (A-Pal) and star-shaped SBS were compounded to obtain modified asphalt in this study. The high-temperature stability of SBS-modified asphalt was enhanced after incorporation with A-Pal for the high-temperature stability test by a dynamic shear rheometer. The A-Pal should improve the surface free energy and adhesion of SBS-modified asphalt by the water stability test analysis. The aging test shows that A-Pal can reduce the thermal oxygen decomposition of SBS and improve the anti-aging performance and the fatigue resistance of SBS-modified asphalt. A-Pal has a certain improvement effect on the low temperature performance of SBS-modified asphalt as shown by a low temperature crack resistance test. A-Pal-compounded SBS-modified asphalt features good storage stability in normal temperatures with the lowest critical compatibility temperature.

In order to better improve the practical engineering problems such as rutting, cracking, pit, and groove in highway engineering, the stability and strength characteristics of calcium sulfate whisker and polyester fiber in asphalt mixture are evaluated based on the road performance test. In this experiment, three different methods of the calcium sulfate whisker content and three different polyester fiber content were used to determine the best asphalt aggregate ratio to prepare different modified asphalt mixture samples. Its high temperature stability, water stability, and low-temperature performance were tested. The results show that the composite modifier of calcium sulfate whisker and polyester fiber can significantly improve the strength stability of asphalt mixture and make its high temperature stability reach 2900.3∼4230.7 Times/mm without reducing its low-temperature bending strength. The optimum content of calcium sulfate whisker is in the range of 2‰∼2.5‰ and polyester fiber is in the range of 2‰∼3‰. The rutting strength and Marshall stability reach the maximum.
