The dynamic stability of a rutting test does not optimally reflect the high-temperature stability of asphalt mixtures. In this study, a rutting test was performed over a long duration (4 h) at different temperatures (40, 50, 60, 70 °C) for three asphalt mixtures, namely, matrix AC-16, SMA-16, and modified AC-16 asphalt mixtures. Subsequently, the temperature rutting rate was obtained after considering the annual temperature conditions of Guangdong and Beijing in China. Because the conditions of the rutting test were different from that of the actual pavement, the rut depth was calculated using a modified temperature rutting rate. This modification considered four factors: wheel trace distribution, temperature, pavement thickness, and loading rate. The calculation of the temperature rutting rate considered the climatic conditions and utilized the rutting deformation data from hour 1–4 of the rutting tests, during which the asphalt mixture was in a stable creep period. Thus, the high-temperature stability of the asphalt mixture was reflected more scientifically by the temperature rutting rate than the dynamic stability. The high-temperature rut-resistance of the asphalt mixture was found to improve significantly after the introduction of two additives (anti-rutting agent and lignin fiber). The modified formula for rut depth can realistically predict the annual rutting depth for three asphalt mixtures in a one-way driving pavement.

Montmorillonite/SBS composite modifed asphalts were prepared by mixing montmorillonite with SBS-modified asphalt, further the corresponding asphalt mixtures were obtained. The paving technical indexes of the mixture such as physical properties, moisture suscepyibility, and high temperature stability were tested, and compared with that of the corresponding SBS-modifed asphalt mixture and base asphalt mixture. The results demonstrate that the montmorillonite/SBS composite modifed asphalt mixture exhibites enhanced stability, improved flow value and moisture susceptibility, and increased high temperature stability.

Road construction consumes great amounts of high-grade natural resources. Using low-grade natural rocks or some solid wastes as substitute materials is a hot topic. Considering this, the feasibility of using low-grade granite aggregate, solid waste-based filler (desulphurization gypsum residues, DGR) and binder (waste tire rubber modified asphalt, RMA) simultaneously in asphalt mixtures has been fully investigated in this research. The commonly used base asphalt and limestone powder (LP) filler were control groups. Material characteristics of raw materials mainly including micro-morphology, functional group, mineral phase, chemical composition and thermal stability were first evaluated in order to recognize them. Four asphalt mixtures (two asphalt binder and two filler) were then designed by standard Superpave method. Finally, a detailed investigation into the pavement performance of asphalt mixtures was carried out. The moisture damage resistance and low-temperature crack resistance were detected by the changing rules of stability, strength and fracture energy, and the high-temperature stability and fatigue performance were determined by wheel tracking test and indirect tensile (IDT) fatigue test, respectively. Results suggested that RMA and DGR both showed positive effects on the low-temperature crack resistance and fatigue property of the granite asphalt mixture. DGR also strengthened moisture stability. The contribution of RMA on high-temperature deformation resistance of the granite asphalt mixture was compelling. It can offset the insufficiency in high-temperature stability made by DGR. A conclusion can be made that asphalt mixture prepared with granite, DGR and RMA possesses satisfactory pavement performances.

In recent years, ultra-thin wearing course asphalt mixture has been widely used in the reconstruction of old road surfaces and the functional layer of new road surfaces due to its good road performance. To improve the rutting resistance of ultra-thin wearing course asphalt mixture, this research presents an Ultra-thin Wearing Course-10 (UTWC-10) asphalt mixture with good high-temperature stability and skid resistance based on the Taylor system standard mesh specifications. The Course Aggregate Void Filling (CAVF) method is used to design the UTWC-10 asphalt mixture, which is compared with two other traditional ultra-thin wearing course asphalt mixtures on the basis of different laboratory performance tests. The high-temperature rutting test data shows that the rutting dynamic stability (DS) index of the UTWC-10 asphalt mixture is much higher than that of traditional wearing course asphalt mixtures, as it has better high-temperature stability. Moreover, anti-sliding performance attenuation tests are conducted by a coarse aggregate polishing machine. The wear test results show that the skid resistance of the UTWC-10 asphalt mixture is promising. The anti-sliding performance attenuation test can effectively reflect the skid resistance attenuation trend of asphalt pavement at the long-term vehicle load. It is verified that the designed UTWC-10 asphalt mixture shows excellent high-temperature rutting resistance and skid resistance, as well as better low temperature crack resistance and water stability than the traditional wearing course asphalt mixtures.

According to high temperature weak stability of common asphalt mixture, rutting tests of diatomite modified asphalt mixture, modified lake asphalt mixture, modified rock asphalt mixture and common asphalt mixture are carried out. Changes of dynamic stability for common asphalt mixture compared with modified asphalt mixtures are comparatively analysed. The results show that compared with common asphalt mixture, rutting resistances of diatomite modified asphalt mixture, modified lake asphalt mixture and modified rock asphalt mixture are greatly improved. It is proposed that those kinds of modified asphalt mixture are adopted in asphalt pavement of large longitudinal slope section.

Fractal theory was introduced to study the asphalt mixture aggregate gradation which shows visible fractal characteristics, and the fractal dimension of seven different gradations of ATB-25 were calculated quantitatively. Then the rutting test was carried out, and the results show that the fractal dimension of aggregate gradation has a good correlation with the dynamic stability of asphalt mixture. Finally, the paper proposes a multiple linear regression formula which may more accurately predict the high-temperature stability of the asphalt mixture with different gradations.

High temperature stability of asphalt mixture is one of asphalt pavement major performance which concerns the permanent deformation of the pavement. Four different gradations were used to detect the mixture high temperature stability, dynamic stability or short for rut distortion for regress time was obtained from regression for the data of rutting test, and the test indicates that either of these two indexes can better characterize high temperature stability of asphalt mixture.
