High-elasticity modified asphalt is widely used in OGFC and bridge deck paving due to its high viscosity and strong displacement recovery capacity. It can improve the high-temperature deformation resistance and elastic recovery ability of the pavement. Especially in bridge deck pavement, high-elastic modified asphalt can inhibit the formation of reflective cracks and extend the service life. In order to quantitatively evaluate properties of the high-elasticity modified asphalt, rheological properties are studied by using a dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) test. The parameters were fitted with the Burgers model, and the constitutive equation was established. The 3 s elastic recovery rate E r was proposed to quantitatively evaluate the elastic recovery of high-elasticity modified asphalt. The experimental results show that the instantaneous modulus of elasticity G 0 and the delayed modulus of elasticity G 1 can be used to evaluate the elastic capacity. E r can quantitatively evaluate the elastic resilience of high-elasticity modified asphalt. The correlation coefficient between the test results of high-elasticity modified asphalt and those of impact toughness evaluation reached 0.9966, and the 3 s elastic recovery rate E r could be used to evaluate the elastic recovery ability of high-elasticity modified asphalt.

In this paper, recycled PE was added directly to the asphalt mixture to prepare high modulus asphalt mixture. To study the influence of the dosage and molecular weight of recycled PE on the performance of asphalt mixture, three kinds of recycled PE with different molecular weight and three asphalt binders (Conventional, SBS Modified and PE Modified) were used to prepare eight kinds of asphalt mixture. Various tests, including dynamic modulus, wheel tracking and Lottman test, were conducted to evaluate the performance of them. The results showed that 1) the dynamic modulus of asphalt mixture modified by recycled PE is higher than the normal mixture and mixture prepared with SBS modified asphalt binder; 2) adding recycled PE directly into the asphalt mixture during mixing is more effective than preparing asphalt mixture with PE modified asphalt binder in making high modulus asphalt mixture; 3) the recycled PE used to produce high modulus asphalt mixture should have certain big molecular weight, more than 27,000, and the dosage of recycled PE should be no less than 0.4% of the total weight of asphalt mixture. The performance tests indicted the good high temperature deformation resistance property of asphalt mixture modified by recycled PE.

Compound crumb rubber modified asphalt (CCRMA) is a kind of compound modified asphalt. It is made from putting granulated crumb rubber (GCR) crashed from scrap tires and SBS modifier into matrix asphalt, though shearing by high speed shearing machine and growthing. It has good low temperature crack-resistant attributes, and better preventing high temperature distortion as well. The application of abandoned rubber tire is significant to cutting down on pollution,developing circular economy and protecting the environment. The microstructure of matrix asphalt and CCRMA is observed by SEM. Based on the results of temperature sweep test for CCRMA and uniaxial compression creep test for CCRMA mixture, the high-temperature characteristic of compound modified asphalt and mixture is studied. It is observed that, CCRMA has preferable anti-permanent deformation performance. CCRMA mixture has perferable anti-high temperature deformation performation. In the meantime, the viscous-elastic parameters of CCRMA mixture is obtained by fitting experimental data, it provides a referance for viscoelastic mechanics analyze of bituminous pavement.

The high-performance asphalt materials are used to replace the ordinary road asphalt that cannot meet the requirements of natural environment and traffic situation, which is the effective way to solve poor asphalt pavement durability. In this paper, polyphosphoric acid- (PPA-) modified asphalt and polyphosphoric acid (PPA)/styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) composite-modified asphalt with different PPA content were prepared by using two-type asphalt. The effect of PPA modifier on asphalt was analyzed by using the creep elastic recovery rate, accumulating strain and creep modulus tests. The results showed that asphalt types and the PPA could significantly improve the elastic recovery rate of asphalt, reduce the cumulative strain and creep stiffness of the viscosity part, improve the high-temperature performance, and reduce the permanent deformation of the asphalt under repeated load. The high-temperature performance and low-temperature performance of PPA-modified asphalt were studied by the chemical and physical modification techniques. The advantages of modified asphalt are well developed while reducing the price of it, which has important technical and economic significance.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the rheological properties of SBS/CRP composite modified asphalt under different aging conditions in alpine cold regions. In this study, the styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) block copolymer, crumb rubber powder (CRP), softeners and various additives were used to prepare the SBS/CRP composite modified asphalt. The 4.5% SBS modified asphalt and SK90 virgin asphalt were also selected for comparing. The thin film oven test (TFOT) and pressure aging vessel (PAV) aging test were conducted to simulate the different aging conditions. The frequency sensitivity, high-temperature deformation resistance and low-temperature crack resistance of SBS/CRP composite modified asphalt under different aging conditions were studied by the dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) and bending beam rheometer (BBR) test. The results show that the frequency sensitivity of SBS/CRP composite modified asphalt is the lowest. At low and medium temperatures, it has relatively low strength and good flexibility. The master curve of composite modulus for the unaged and aged SBS/CRP composite modified asphalt is in a cluster state. It has strong anti-aging capability, which is less affected by aging conditions. It also has a strong low-temperature relaxation ability, which can meet the requirements of performance at −24 °C in PG classification. The high-temperature deformation resistance of SBS/CRP composite modified asphalt is not much different from SBS modified asphalt’s. Therefore, it can provide the basic support for the application in alpine cold regions under the conditions of low temperature, strong radiation and heavy load.

Aiming at the fatigue cracking problem of the asphalt mixture on steel deck pavement surface, high-elasticity modified asphalt was developed. high-temperature properties, low-temperature properties and fatigue properties of modified asphalt and modified asphalt mixture were tested. The fatigue life of high-elasticity modified asphalt has been greatly improved, which was at least 25 times as long as that of common asphalt. The mechanism was explained clearly that the fatigue life of asphalt mixture could be improved by reducing the failure energy after each hysteresis loop of asphalt mixture, according to the dissipated energy theory for asphalt mixture. Projects proved that high-elasticity modified asphalt extremely improved the fatigue life of asphalt mixture on the steel bridge deck.

Multiple stress creep recovery test (MSCR) as an effective evalution mothed for polymer modified asphalt was studied newly,and was formed a new ASTM standard.In this article, SBS modified asphalt,rubber asphalt,and rubber/SBS composite modified asphalt were taken a multiple stress creep recovery test (MSCR) through the dynamic shear rheometer (DSR), value of Jnr and Jnr-diff from MSCR test of different modified asphalt were studied according to ASTM D7405-08.The results showed the rubber / SBS modified asphalt had a lower Jnr compared with the other two,which indicating that it had an obvious advantage on high temperature deformation resistancing.Furthermore,low Jnr-diff value was related with lower dependence on the shear stress. made it applicable to conditions such as high temperature and overload or long steep road construction; MSCR test also provides a reasonable basis for choosing modified asphalt in such geological and climate conditions.
