The construction process control of asphalt layers directly affects the road service life and quality. The objective of this study was to establish a rutting model of the wheel-tracking test used for the real-time prediction of the rut depth of asphalt layers in the construction process. The gradation of asphalt mixture, asphalt content, and molding temperature were considered in the development of the new rutting model of the wheel-tracking test. The effects of these three factors on the high-temperature performance of asphalt mixture were analyzed. The order of importance of the factors affecting the high-temperature performance of asphalt mixture is the gradation of asphalt mixture, asphalt-aggregate ratio, and molding temperature. Overall, the predicted values of the rut depth of the wheel-tracking test are very close to the measured values. Furthermore, the difference between the rut depths of asphalt layers of the test group and the control group is small. These comparison results indicate that the new rutting model of the wheel-tracking test has high accuracy and good applicability for the test road.

In order to solve current airfield asphalt road surface high temperature performance evaluation index defective problem, we apply the humbug wheel tracking test, general rutting test and uniaxial penetration test ,and use different evaluation index to carry on the analysis. Test results show that shear strength index and rutting test index on the contrary, regression dynamic stability can't distinguish between SMA - 13 and AC - 20 high temperature performance advantages and disadvantages, creep slope and dynamic stability index consistent; At the same time, the use of bailey method design parameters and asphalt cement parameters on its verification found that bailey method can further explain mixture grading high temperature performance advantages and disadvantages, ratio of filler to bitumen and dynamic stability, shear strength, creep slope has a good correlation, and asphalt film thickness and its correlation is poor. So suggest using dynamic stability and humbug wheel tracking creep slope, rutting depth combination evaluation mixture at high temperature performance advantages and disadvantages.

According to the porous asphalt concrete’s big void structure as well as high temperature and rainy application environment, the author point out that using the conventional evaluation index such as high temperature stability and water stability to evaluate the PAC’s performance seem single, and then put up with estimating the PAC’s pavement performance by means of Hamburg Wheel Tracking under the water-high temperature’s comprehensive action. Studied on the PAC with the same raw materials and different gradations, and compared with the experimental results of AC-13 modified asphalt mixture and SMA-13, the results shows that, Hamburg Wheel Tracking test not only considered the water-high temperature’s comprehensive action on mixture, but also considered the mixture’s performance decay under long-term loading. Hamburg Wheel Tracking test can evaluate the PAC’s performance more practically, the PAC which materials and graduations reasonably designed have good performance, and its Hamburg Wheel Tracking final deformation is only 3.89mm, it can satisfy the demand from the high temperature and rainy environment. As well, the test results also comes to the conclusions that under the same materials and the same air voids, the PAC with coarse framework structure own better water stability and water-high temperature stability.

In order to study the effectiveness of new type modified asphalt additive SBP on pavement performance of asphalt mixture, the experiments were carried out to evaluate the mixing and compaction temperature, high-temperature stability and water stability of SBP modified asphalt mixture. The high-temperature stability of the SBP modified asphalt mortar was studied by DSR. The heating temperature of mineral aggregate and the asphalt mixture mixing temperature and compacted temperature were determined by three different temperature asphalt mixture SCB test, which were got SGC (Superpave Gyratory Compactor). The wheel tracking test of asphalt mixture was carried to evaluate the high-temperature stability and freeze-thaw split test were studied the water stability. Through the wheel tracking test and water stability test in harsh condition, the high-temperature stability and water stability was evaluated again. It can be concluded that SBP can improve the pavement performances of asphalt mixtures.

The asphalt surface layer is the most exposed to weather and traffic conditions on roads, especially those subjected to winter maintenance. Therefore, a deep knowledge of the mechanisms which can damage this layer is necessary to improve its design, construction and long-term use. With this purpose, two types of asphalt mixtures used on roads from NW Spain were subjected to durability tests (freezing-thaw and thermal-stress) with a saturated NaCl solution. After the durability tests, a wheel tracking test was performed on the samples, and the resultant material was analyzed by optical polarized light and fluorescence microscopy. This analysis showed that the binder-aggregate low adhesion was the main responsible of the asphalt mixture damage. This damage was concentrated in the aggregates because the binder acted as an impermeable wall. Consequently, the NaCl solution penetrated and degraded the aggregates quickly and strongly.

The warm mix regeneration technology has prominent economical efficiency that can not only reduce the secondary aging of new asphalt and old asphalt in RAP materials during the production process, but also improve the use proportion of RAP materials. As for the increase of RAP dosage and the warm mix additive added to influence the plant regenerated asphalt mixture performance, this paper adopts two kinds of warm mix additive for the test and analysis of the warm mix regenerated asphalt mixture performance with 20% and 60% RAP. The results indicate that magnify the proportion of RAP percentage makes contribution to further improve high-temperature performance of the regenerated mixture, but it has adverse effects on water resistant damage performance and low-temperature performance. At the same time, adopting the warm mix additive can significantly reduce the adverse effect, so warm mix regenerated technology has better feasibility.
