Increasing the content of reclaimed asphalt pavement material (RAP) in hot-mix recycled asphalt mixture (RHMA) with a satisfactory performance has been a hot topic in recent years. In this study, the performances of Trinidad lake asphalt (TLA), virgin asphalt binder, and aged asphalt binder were first compared, and then the modification mechanism of TLA on virgin asphalt and aged asphalt was explored. Furthermore, the RHMA was designed in accordance with the French norm NF P 98-140 containing 50% and 100% RAP, and their high-temperature stability, low-temperature cracking resistance, and fatigue performances were tested to be compared with the conventional dense gradation AC-20 asphalt mixture. The results show that the addition of TLA changes the component proportion of virgin asphalt binder, but no new functional groups are produced. The hard asphalt binder modified by TLA has a better rutting resistance, while the fatigue and cracking resistance is lower, compared to both aged and virgin asphalt. The high-modulus design concept of RHMA is a promising way to increase the RAP content in RHMA with acceptable performance. Generally, the RHMA with 50% RAP has similar properties to AC-20. And, when the RAP content reaches 100%, the high- and low-temperature performance and anti-fatigue performance of RHMA are better than AC-20 mixture. Thus, recycling aged asphalt using hard asphalt binder for hot-mixing recycled asphalt mixture to increase the RAP content is feasible.

In order to evaluate the performance of the physical foaming warm-mix recycled asphalt mixture (WRAM), the hot mix plant recycling technology was adopted to develop AC-20 hot-mix recycled asphalt mixture (HRAM) and the WRAM of different reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) contents. The high temperature stability, water stability and low temperature crack resistance performance of the reclaimed asphalt pavement were evaluated. The results indicate that the physical foaming WRAM feature better high temperature stability, water stability and low temperature crack resistance compared to those of HRAM. With the increase in RAP contents, the high temperature stability of the physical foaming WRAM and HRAM rises notably but the water stability and low temperature crack resistance performance continues to drop.

This paper introduces an asphalt mixture that mixed with different admixtures, rutting resistance agent and lignin fiber, at the same time. Rutting test and freeze-thaw splitting test are used to analyze rutting resistance on the high temperature and low temperature cracking of the asphalt mixture. The experiments with different mixes material composition are conducted to analysis various properties of the two admixtures on the mixture, especially the high temperature stability, low temperature crack resistance and the law of improvement effect. In addition, the experiments also determine the optimal asphalt content of different type of mixtures. The results showed that the single-doped KTL rutting resistance or lignin fibers have some improvement in water temperature performance of asphalt mixture, stability improvement of double-doped admixture asphalt mixture is better than the single-doped asphalt mixture, such as KTL rutting resistance agents and lignin fibers

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.

Important Concern

Fatigue cracking is an important concern when a high percentage of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) is used in an asphalt mixture. The aging of the asphalt binder reduces its ductility and makes the pavement more susceptible to cracking. Rejuvenators are often added to high-RAP mixtures to enhance their performance. The aging of a rejuvenated binder is different from virgin asphalt. Therefore, the effect of aging on a recycled asphalt mixture can be different from its effect on a new one. This study evaluated the cracking resistance of 100% recycled asphalt binders and mixtures and investigated the effect of aging on this performance parameter. The cracking resistance of the binder samples was tested by a Bending Beam Rheometer. An accelerated pavement weathering system was used to age the asphalt mixtures and their cracking resistance was evaluated by the Texas Overlay Test. The results from binder and mixture tests mutually indicated that rejuvenated asphalt has a significantly better cracking resistance than virgin asphalt. Rejuvenated mixtures generally aged more rapidly, and the rate of aging was different for different rejuvenators.

Sbs Modified Asphalt

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.

Mixing the composite phase change material (CPCM) to asphalt mixture is a new way to solve the worldwide problem of the low-temperature cracking and high temperature rutting of the asphalt pavement. Asphalt mixture with CPCM can remain in the ideal working temperature range for a relatively long time. This paper analyzes the influence of the contents of CPCM on its road performance by laboratory testing. The study shows that mixing CPCM to asphalt mixture had little effect to the optimal asphalt content. For CPCM prepared by polymer shape-stabilized method, the high-temperature stability and the water stability of asphalt mixture increases firstly and then decreases the low-temperature anti-cracking stability decreases firstly and then increases with the increasing of CPCM. For CPCM prepared by carrier-adsorbed packaging process, the high-temperature stability decreases, low-temperature anti-cracking stability decreases firstly and then increases, the water stability increases firstly and then decreases with increasing of CPCM. The results indicate that CPCM has significant influences on its road performance. The optimal content of CPCM is around 0.3%.
