In order to study the different influences of mine filler and diatomite on asphalt mortar performance, asphalt mortars with 7% mix amount of mine filler and diatomite were tested for apparent viscosity at 135°C, penetration value at 25°C, and softening point. PI and PVN were used to evaluate the temperature sensitivity of the two kinds of asphalt mortars as well. Further, asphalt mortar bending test at low temperature were done to verify the good mechanical performance of diatomite asphalt mortar. Results indicate that, compared to mine filler, diatomite has stronger modified effect on asphalt, including apparent viscosity, penetration and softening point. And diatomite is more conducive to weakening temperature sensitivity of asphalt mortar. In addition, bending test indicates that diatomite asphalt mortar is more conducive to upgrade low temperature performance. Thus, it is significant for the preparation of diatomite modified asphalt concrete on the design of grade mixing ratio, so as to be conducive to promoting the use of diatomite modified asphalt concrete.

In this study, graphene-modified asphalt (GMA) was prepared from SK-70# matrix asphalt and ethylene bis(stearamide) (EBS). Based on the uniform design method, a model was created using Data Processing System (DPS) software and First Optimization (1stOpt) software using the graphene mixing amount, EBS mixing amount, shear rate, shear time, and shear temperature as factors and using the asphalt penetration, softening point, force ductility, SHRP-PG test, and multistress creep recovery data as indices. Calculations and analysis showed that the optimal composition and preparation parameters of GMA are as follows: the graphene proportion is 20‰, the EBS proportion is 1%, the shear rate is 6000 r.p.m., the shear time is 180 min, and the shear temperature is 140 °C. The prepared GMA had a significantly improved softening point, low-temperature fracture energy, antirutting factor, and creep recovery rate, indicating that adding graphene can improve the high- and low-temperature performance of asphalt. The prepared GMA was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The dispersibility of graphene in asphalt was evaluated by fluorescence microscopy and Image-Pro Plus imaging software. The results show that graphene can exist in asphalt in a stable form, which increases the loose-layered structure of stacked asphalt or gum. The intense adsorption effect of graphene strengthens the ordered structure of asphalt. However, due to its dispersibility characteristics, some graphene exists in asphalt in clustered form. When the graphene-to-dispersant ratio approaches the optimal value, the dispersant changes the form of graphene in asphalt from irregular clusters to regular clusters and from large, distinct clusters to small, indistinct clusters. When dispersant cannot uniformly disperse graphene in asphalt, graphene clusters primarily form medium-sized grains.

To improve the low-temperature performance of RET (Reactive Elastomeric Terpolymer) modified asphalt mixture (RETM), polyurethane prepolymer (PUP) was used by wet process, ground waste rubber (GWR) and fibers were used by dry process. Tests of force ductility, bending beam rheometer (BBR), differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), viscosity and multiple stress creep recovery (MSCR) were conducted to study the effects of PUP on the performance of RET modified asphalt (RETA), and beam bending test was conducted to study the effects of GWR and fibers on the performance of RETM. Then, tests of beam bending, wheel tracking, Marshall immersion, freeze-thaw splitting, and economic analysis were further conducted to compare the performance and economy of RETM modified with optimum modifiers suggested. All modifiers improve the low-temperature performance of RETM. PUP content, the content and size of GWR and the content and type of fibers significantly affect the performance of RETA or RETM respectively. After analysis, 10% PUP, 2.1% 80 mesh GWR and 0.2% polyester (PE) fiber are considered as the optimum modifiers, respectively. Comparison results show that optimum modifiers variously improve the low-temperature performance, rutting resistance and moisture susceptibility of RETM, but they slightly reduced the economy of RETM. Comprehensive evaluation shows that 2.1% 80 mesh GWR and 10% PUP are better than 0.2% PE fiber.

According to three-point bending test, this paper explores the influence of low temperature on the flexural strength, the tensile strain and bending stiffness modulus of the aged Stone Mastic Asphalt (SMA-13) concrete. The asphalt mixtures are aged according to the short-term aging (at 135°C, 4 hours), and long-term aging (asphalt concrete at 85°C, 120 hours) and natural aging (3 months, 6 months and 9 months). The result shows that, with the same loading rate, the tensile strain of specimens at -30°C are smaller than those at -10°C; but when temperature is certain, the tensile strain of specimens lager than those of aged specimens. The longer the aging time lasts, the more flexural strength differences between high and low temperatures can be found. A pretty well index variation can be found between the tensile strain and temperature. The same trend also appears between the bending stiffness modulus and temperature of SMA-13 asphalt concrete.

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%.
