Comparative Study on Water Aging of Rubber Asphalt and TOR Rubber Asphat
Brookfield Viscometer, Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR) and Bending Beam Rheometer (BBR) are employed to analyze properties of rubber asphalt and TOR rubber asphalt after water aging. Through simulating, the influences of parameter changes of water on the performances of asphalts after aging were studied. The results show that the PH value and sodium chloride content of water affects the aging properties of asphalt, and as the parameter changes, the high temperature performance of TOR rubber asphalt are better than rubber asphalt. DSR and BBR tests reveal that the higher the acidity (or the lower PH value) and the sodium chloride content of water are, the more seriously rubber asphalt and TOR rubber asphalt age in water aging; the lower the temperature is, the larger the S value and the smaller the m value become, and the worse the low temperature performance and dissipation of temperature stress of rubber asphalt and TOR rubber asphalt get.
