This study aims to investigate the performance evolution and mechanism of asphalt under action of chloride salt erosion. Asphalt samples soaked with five different snow melting chloride salt concentrations were taken as the research object. Then, the high-temperature performance, low-temperature performance, temperature sensitivity and asphalt–aggregate adhesion property of asphalt samples were carried out. Additionally, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used to explore the mechanism of chloride salt erosion on asphalt. Test results showed the linear variation relationships of high-temperature performance, low-temperature performance and temperature sensitivity with chloride salt concentrations. The high-temperature performance of asphalt would be improved by chloride snowmelt salt. With the increase in the chloride salt solution concentration, the low-temperature performance of asphalt became worse, and the temperature sensitivity increased. Moreover, after the effect of the chloride salt solution, the asphalt–aggregate adhesion property decreased with the increase in the chloride salt solution concentration. It is necessary to control the amount of chloride snowmelt salt in the actual snow removal projects. Finally, based on Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, the mechanism of chloride salt erosion on asphalt was preliminarily explored. With the increase in the chloride salt solution concentration, the proportion of light components (saturated fraction, aromatic fraction) in asphalt decreased, and the proportion of heavy components (resin and asphaltene) with good thermal stability increased.

In order to investigate the effect of organic montmorillonite (OMMT) and its content on properties of high-viscosity modified asphalt, a series of laboratory tests were carried out through zero shear viscosity (ZSV) at 60 °C, rutting factor, ductility at 5 °C, and fatigue factor to analyze high-temperature, low-temperature and anti-fatigue properties of high-viscosity modified asphalt with different OMMT contents. The results show that OMMT/high-viscosity modifier (HVM) composite modification can improve obviously high-temperature performance and fatigue resistance of high-viscosity modified asphalt, but the best improvement effect can be achieved only when adding proper amount of OMMT. The addition of a small amount of OMMT has little effect on low-temperature performance of high-viscosity modified asphalt, but when the content of OMMT exceeds 4%, its low-temperature performance will decrease significantly. The addition of OMMT can improve the temperature sensitivity of high-viscosity modified asphalt’s high-temperature performance, but reduces the temperature sensitivity of its fatigue resistance.

The warm mix regeneration technology has prominent economical efficiency that can not only reduce the secondary aging of new asphalt and old asphalt in RAP materials during the production process, but also improve the use proportion of RAP materials. As for the increase of RAP dosage and the warm mix additive added to influence the plant regenerated asphalt mixture performance, this paper adopts two kinds of warm mix additive for the test and analysis of the warm mix regenerated asphalt mixture performance with 20% and 60% RAP. The results indicate that magnify the proportion of RAP percentage makes contribution to further improve high-temperature performance of the regenerated mixture, but it has adverse effects on water resistant damage performance and low-temperature performance. At the same time, adopting the warm mix additive can significantly reduce the adverse effect, so warm mix regenerated technology has better feasibility.

Montmorillonite (MMT) modified asphalts are prepared by melt blending with the help of high-speed shear mixer. The dispersion of MMT layers in the asphalt matrix are characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The effect of different contents of MMT on physical properties of the base asphalt is studied. These properties include penetration, softening point and ductility. The results indicate that MMT/asphalt may form a nanocomposite structure with MMT layers intercalated by the asphalt molecules. MMT can improve the high temperature performance and temperature sensitivity of the base asphalt. And it can slightly reduce the low temperature performances of matrix asphalt. It is found that low temperature performances, high temperature performance and temperature sensitivity of the modified system achieved balance when the content of MMT is 4 wt%.

In order to improve the pavement performance of reclaimed asphalt mixture, using Marshall test, rutting test, splitting test and long-term aging test, taking stability, dynamic stability, fatigue strength, stiffness modulus, and freeze-thaw splitting tension strength as the target, the influence law of old asphalt mixture content and regenerant content on pavement performance of reclaimed asphalt mixture is systematically studied. The results show that: the proportion of old asphalt mixture has no influence on high temperature performance of reclaimed asphalt mixture. With the proportion of old mixture increases, the optimum asphalt-aggregate ratio, low temperature performance, water stability, and anti-aging property of reclaimed asphalt mixture decrease. Addition of regenerant improves the low temperature performance of reclaimed asphalt mixture, and reduces the strength and high temperature stability of reclaimed asphalt mixture. Research results have great guiding significance for old asphalt mixture content selection, regenerant content selection and improving pavement performance of reclaimed asphalt mixture.

In order to ensure smooth traffic and driving safety, deicing salt or snow melting agents are usually adopted to solve the problem of traffic jams and prevent pavement surfaces from freezing. The objective of this present study is to investigate the performance deterioration evaluation of asphalt mixture under the chloride salt erosion environment. Five chloride salt solution concentrations were designed and the uniaxial static compression creep test, low-temperature IDT test, freeze-thaw splitting test, and freeze-thaw cycle test were carried out for asphalt mixtures (AC-16) soaked in chloride salt solution. Results showed that with the increase in chloride salt solution concentration, the high-temperature stability, low-temperature crack resistance, and water stability of the asphalt mixture decreases. Moreover, the high-temperature stability, low-temperature crack resistance, and water stability of the asphalt mixture show a decreasing trend under different chloride salt solution concentrations following the negative cubic polynomial function. Based on the viscoelastic analysis, chloride salt solution could reduce the ability of the asphalt mixture to resist instantaneous elastic deformation and permanent deformation, and this influence will become more obvious with the increase in chloride salt solution concentration. In addition, the salt freeze-thaw cycle test indicated that in the early stage of freeze-thaw cycles, the splitting tensile strength of the asphalt mixture decreases rapidly, then tends to be flat, and then decreases rapidly. This study explores the performance damage law of asphalt mixture under salt corrosion, and the analysis results of this study could provide some references for the chloride salt dosage in the snow melting project while spreading deicing salt.

The diatomite-cellulose composite (DCC) was used to modified asphalt for pavement in the study, and then the high temperature performance, low temperature performance and temperature susceptibility of asphalt were studied. The results showed that these performances of asphalt were all improved after modified by DCC, and the performance of modified asphalt significantly associated with the ash content of DCC, and H-3 DCC was the best. The performance of modified asphalt by DCC was obviously better than using diatomite and cellulose directly. The improving properties of modified asphalt by DCC were caused by synergistic effect of diatomite and cellulose.
