Through the foaming mechanism and foaming effect evaluation, this paper analyzes the production procedure, optimum content and strength of foamed asphalt mixture thoroughly. Combined with the construction process quality control and inspection and acceptance criteria, this paper provides data for reference and theoretical basis for application of cold recycled technology of foamed asphalt to pavement project. Its construction without disrupting traffic, thus shorten the construction period and improve efficiency, which also have advantages such as energy conservation, environment protection and economy. Above all, it is beneficial to foamed asphalt′s popularization and application.

In order to discuss the effect of the basalt fiber on reinforcing pavement performance of asphalt mixtures, the optimum dosage of asphalt and fibers were studied by the method of Marshall test and rut test firstly. Then pavement performances of basalt fiber-modified asphalt mixtures were investigated through tests of high temperature stability, water stability and low temperature crack resistance, and compared with that of polyester fiber, xylogen fiber and control mixture. The testing results showed that the pavement performance of fiber-modified asphalt mixture are improved and optimized comparing with control asphalt mixture, and the performance of basalt fiber-modified asphalt mixture with best composition were excelled than those of polyester fiber and xylogen fiber.

With the early asphalt pavements have been into the stage of medium maintenance or overhaul, recycling is a very important way for waste asphalt mixtures. A sample was taken in the expressway from Huhhot to Baotou, and the waste mixtures were extracted from field and sieved; so that the new aggregates can be determined and mix design was carried. With the aid of the penetration, the softening point and the viscosity in 135°C test, the quantity of the regenerant and the asphalt content were ascertained. Through the high temperature stable performance, the anti-low temperature performance, the water stability and the Hamburg wheel-tracking test, the appropriate gradation and the optimum asphalt content were determined. The test results showed that the pavement performance of the waste asphalt mixture was enhanced obviously with hot in-place recycling, and it has achieved technical parameters for old asphalt mixture.

Water-foamed asphalt is capable of improving the workability of asphalt mixture. It has been extensively used for its energy-saving and emission-reducing features. Water plays an essential part in improving the workability of water-foamed asphalt mixture. However, there is still lack in profound studies of moisture dissipation of the water-foamed asphalt over time and its influence on workability. In this study, the evolutions of residual water content and rotational viscosity of the water-foamed asphalt with time were respectively measured by the analytical balance and modified rotational viscometer (RV). The atomic force microscopy (AFM) analysis was conducted to discuss the mechanism of viscosity reduction of water-foamed asphalt. The results showed that moisture evaporation is significantly influenced by the foaming water content and ambient temperature, which results in the different stabilizing time of water-foamed asphalt. When water-foamed asphalt was stabilized, the residual water inside the asphalt was less than 0.01% relative to the asphalt mass. The AFM analysis showed that the foaming process changed the distribution of wax in the water-foamed asphalt resulting in reduction of viscosity. The viscosity reduction of asphalt is highly related to the initial foaming water content. After the foaming process, the viscosity keeps stable and is independent of moisture dissipation.

The paper investigates the effects of different concentrations of crumb rubber (CR) on the pavement performance of the conventional penetration-grade 80/100 bitumen and the dense-graded wearing course asphalt mixture (AC16). A wet process and 0.6mm size CR were used and the control variables included three types of CR of concentrations 5%,10% and 15% by total weight of binder. The evaluations were twofold. Firstly, a comparison of the basic and rheological properties of those modified and unmodified binders was conducted. Secondly, a comparison of the resistance to moisture damage, low temperature cracking and permanent deformation of the AC16 and CR modified AC16 was performed. The results show that all the CR modified binders and mixtures are found to have improved performance as evaluated by a series of laboratory tests. In addition, among three CR concentrations, AC16 modified with 10%CR by total weight of binder exhibits the most satisfactory performance properties with respect to the resistance to moisture damage, permanent deformation and low temperature cracking.

The pavement performance of asphalt mixture and its adaptability to features of application area, cost estimation and harmonic relationship between performance and cost were studied and analyzed in this paper, evaluation model of technical and economic performance of asphalt mixture was constructed, evaluating indicators of technical and economic performance of asphalt mixture as performance matching coefficient, cost conversion demarcation coefficient and harmonic factor of performance and cost and corresponding calculation methods were proposed. On this basis, discrimination function of performance and cost was built to provide theoretical basis and decision support for selecting a satisfactory asphalt mixture scheme which had the best pavement performance and economic performance under certain natural and constraint conditions, it can provide a reference for the development of assist decision function of managerial system of pavement maintenance as well.

Natural mineral fiber with good performances of mechanical properties and environmentally friendly, pollution-free especially have gradually aroused extensive concern. In order to improve the quality of asphalt pavement, explore the applicability of nature basalt fiber in enhanced asphalt mixture performance, this paper investigates two typical asphalt mixtures and contrastive studies pavement performance of asphalt mixture by high temperature stability, water stability, low temperature anti-cracking and fatigue performance between basalt fiber modified asphalt mixture and base asphalt mixture, and then study the basic principle of fiber reinforcing asphalt mixture. The research show that basalt fiber modified asphalt mixture has a better pavement performance than base asphalt mixture, its dynamic stability is 1.6 times than base asphalt mixture, low temperature anti-cracking performance increased by more 25% and fatigue life is more 2 times than base asphalt mixture. And the basalt fiber can be used in the road engineering as an additive material that enhances the comprehensive performance of asphalt pavement.
