To solve the problem of rutting and fatigue damage to asphalt pavement, rutting and fatigue performances of Qingchuan rock asphalt modified asphalt were studied, based on the dynamic shear rheometer test, the dynamic creep test, the rutting test, the indirect tensile fatigue test, the small-sized acceleration loading test, the compressive resilient modulus test, the BISAR3.0 Program and the rutting calculation method based on dynamic finite element method. The results indicate that Qingchuan rock asphalt modifier can obviously improve the anti-fatigue performance and anti-rutting performance of asphalt pavement. Taking the anti-rutting performance and the raw-material price of asphalt into consideration, a rock asphalt optimum content ranging from 5% to 8% is suggested. Qingchuan rock asphalt is a good modifier to solve the rutting and the fatigue damage of asphalt pavement.

To expand the application range of modified asphalt and mixtures and effectively reduce the aggregation of nanomaterials in asphalt, nanocarbon/styrene butadiene styrene (SBS)/rubber powder composite-modified asphalt is proposed. This paper presents a laboratory study on the performance of nanocarbon/copolymer SBS/rubber powder composite-modified asphalt, and nanocarbon particles modified by titanate coupling agents as modifiers are selected. The nanocarbon/copolymer SBS/rubber powder composite-modified asphalt was prepared by a high-speed shearing method. The physical properties and rheological performance were assessed using ductility tests, softening point tests, penetration tests, dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) tests, and bending beam rheometer (BBR) tests. Furthermore, the mixture properties, including the high-temperature stability, low-temperature cracking resistance, moisture stability, and freeze-thaw splitting, were evaluated in the laboratory. The micromorphology of the base asphalt and composite-modified asphalt was examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the reactions between the modifiers and AH-70 base asphalt were studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The results reveal that the surface-modified nanocarbon and rubber powder additives substantially increased the softening point and penetration index of the base asphalt, with little obvious influence on the low-temperature performance. In addition, when nanocarbon/copolymer SBS/rubber powder composite-modified asphalt was used, the high-temperature stability and low-temperature cracking resistance of the nanocarbon/copolymer SBS/rubber powder composite-modified asphalt mixture were approximately 1.3 times those of the nanocarbon/rubber powder asphalt mixture. In terms of the micromorphology and reaction, the addition of the nanocarbon can increase the compatibility between the base asphalt and rubber powder, and then the addition of copolymer SBS can improve the structure of nanocarbon (after surface modification)/rubber powder-modified asphalt to form a stable network. Moreover, the physical reaction plays the dominant role in the modification process for the rubber powder and base asphalt, and chemical reactions occur in the modification process for the surface-modified nanocarbon and base asphalt.

This study aims to evaluate the fatigue performance of modified asphalt mixture using Indirect Tensile Fatigue Test. Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) powder in a form of rutile was used for producing asphalt concrete with lower mixing and compaction temperature compared to conventional hot mix asphalt without reducing its physical and mechanical also resistance to fatigue. The characteristic of the asphalt and modified asphalt was evaluated using penetration test, softening test and rotational viscosity test. Titanium dioxide of 2%, 4%, 6%, 8% and 10% by weight of asphalt has been incorporated into unaged 80/100 asphalt mix in order to improvise its performance and to fulfill the objectives of this experimental study. As a result, TiO2 as an additive is potential to decrease the penetration and increasing the softening point of the asphalt. In terms of fatigue performance testing, addition TiO2 additive does help in improving the fatigue properties as it shows greater result than the control asphalt. In conclusion, TiO2 is great in improving fatigue properties.

The long-term effect of climate factors, such as sunlight, oxygen, and water, leads to the performance degradation of the asphalt mastic, which is the binding part in the asphalt mixture. It is not conducive to satisfy the long-term performance requirements of long-life asphalt pavement. In this study, five kinds of base asphalt mastic and styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) modified asphalt mastic were prepared with the filler-asphalt ratio of 0.6, 0.8, 1.0, 1.2, and 1.4. The indoor simulated weather aging tests were carried out considering multi-factors including sunlight, oxygen, and water. The master curves of the complex shear modulus and phase angle of the asphalt mastic with different aging degrees were obtained by the frequency sweep test. The curves of fatigue damage characteristics and fatigue life were fitted based on the viscoelastic continuum damage (VECD) model. The influence of weather aging on the viscoelasticity and fatigue performance of asphalt mastic were analyzed. Results indicated that the effect of weather aging increases the elastic component and decreases the viscous component. The fatigue performance of SBS modified asphalt mastic was better than that of base asphalt mastic. As the aging degree deepens, the brittle failure characteristics of asphalt mastic with a higher filler–asphalt ratio were more obvious. The base asphalt mastic becomes more sensitive to the strain level due to weather aging, and its fatigue life increased under the low strain loading and decreased under the high strain loading. The fatigue performance of SBS modified asphalt mastic was less sensitive to the strain level. The fatigue life reduced after aging under low and high strain load. Taking the impact of weather aging on the fatigue performance into consideration, the optimal filler–asphalt ratios of the base asphalt mastic SBS modified asphalt mastic are 1.0 and 1.2, respectively.

The applications of rubber-modified asphalt and its mixtures have received widespread attention due to the environmental and economic benefits of such materials. However, studies on the structural performance of rubber-powder-modified asphalt pavement are only concentrated on a certain scale, leading to research on the structural performance of pavement mostly focusing on mechanical responses at a macro scale. Therefore, the present study adopts the concept of multi-scale research to analyze the viscoelasticity of high-dosage-modified asphalt and its mixtures at a microscopic scale from the perspective of meso-mechanical analysis. In this paper, to ensure the overall durability of a structure, the effective asphalt film thickness and coarse aggregate angularity index of the test material were measured first. The viscoelasticity of asphalt modified with rubber powder was then analyzed using a Brinell viscosity test, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and a dynamic shear rheometer (DSR). We determined the optimal amount of rubber powder to be 30%. A universal testing machine was used to study the influence of different temperatures and loading frequencies on the viscoelastic properties of different asphalt mixtures. Research on the dynamic modulus found that the incorporation of rubber powder increases the elastic properties of the mixture such that the rubber-powder-modified asphalt mixture had a higher dynamic modulus. At the same time, the high-dosage-modified asphalt mixture was found to be closer to an elastomer under a low temperature and high frequency. At a high temperature and low frequency, the asphalt mixture changed into a viscoelastic body whose viscous properties were mainly affected by the asphalt binder. The addition of rubber powder changed the temperature sensitivity of the asphalt and then affected the viscoelastic properties of the asphalt mixture.
