<p>Asphaltic concrete is a composite material in which its mineral components: gravel, quartz sand and mineral powder is coupled by using bitumen. The experimentally determined that the quality of adhesion depends on the temperature at which all components had been mixing of hot asphalt mixes. However, the influence heating time remains unexplored. In this work the strength of compound was investigated on the samples of granite glued with using bitumen in a large range of temperature and time. It has been found that at a temperature of 140 degrees the strength increases significantly with time, but then starts to decline. The authors argue that the process of formation and destruction of adhesive compound bitumen and minerals can be described by the thermofluctuational theory of strength. Bitumen molecules on the boundary surface of the mineral become in a compressed state. The thickness of this layer can achieve 100 µm. The durability of road surfaces and the bond strength of all components asphalt concrete depends from quality of this indicator. Researches were conducted of the influence of the same temperature and time on the mechanical properties of the bitumen, but don’t found significant changes.</p>

The duration of asphalt concrete functioning depends on the quality of the asphalt concrete mixture used to pave the road. Grading of hot fractions sieved through technological sieves of asphalt concrete mixture, their pollution with particles of different size as well as stability influence on the quality of an asphalt concrete mixture. Each j - (j = 1...., m) aggregate mineral material or mixture is made up of two (mineral powder, particle of size less than 0,09 or 0,071 mm, and sand, particle of size from 2 to 0,09 mm or 5-0,071 mm) or three (crushed stone, particle size is larger than 2 or 5 mm) mineral components (i = 1, ..., k) . When required technological operations of asphalt concrete mixture production are carried out, the quantity and stability of any i - component in mineral materials change when they move through an asphalt concrete mixer. The more stable the quantity of mineral components in mineral materials (especially in finally dosed) is, the more uniform the composition of asphalt concrete mixture is produced. The experiments showed that when asphalt concrete mixture is produced applying a traditional technology in an asphalt concrete mixer of model D-597, D-508-2A, D-645-3 andD-590, sieved hot fractions of 0–5 mm and 5–15 are polluted with particles of different size by more than 10 per cent; and this pollution is neither uniform nor stable. Following a well-known theory, an average quadratic deviation σ of arithmetic undersized particles sieved through laboratory sieves ~aggregate mineral materials is the greatest when their mean X makes up 50 per cent; therefore, hot fractions of 0–5 mm and 5–15 mm were produced on the experimental data obtained from production as well as regression equations σ = ƒ( X )of statistical indeces of cold mineral powder. The values of average quadratic deviations σ µij of mineral component quantities in those finally dosed mineral materials are obtained from curves drawn according to the regression equations. They can be used to estimate dispersion σ2 Gi of mineral component i in asphalt concrete mixture which depends on the accuracy and stability of technological factors of an asphalt concrete mixer.

Statement of the problem. It is essential to consider the technology of repair of road surfaces of non-rigid type using cold asphalt-concrete mixtures on bitumen grades BND, SG and MG. It is important to develop a mathematical model of the road structure that enables modeling the temperature distribution over the layer thickness, depending on the design parameters of the road considering the thermal and physical properties of materials and the temperature conditions of the road operation. It is also necessary to specify the effect of the mixture temperature on the tensile strength of the cold mixture of factory production. Potholes of the coating must be repaired at low air temperatures of different repair technologies in production conditions. Results. Based on the results of modeling the temperature distribution in the coating layer, it is proven that the use of cold asphalt-concrete mixtures ensures high quality of repair work at air temperatures above +30 ° C. The dependence of the heating temperature of the base on the air temperature and the layer thickness is obtained, which provides the temperature conditions of the cold mixture during compaction. It is established that the ultimate strength depends on temperature. The maximum value of the strength limit of cold asphalt concrete of factory production is provided at the compaction temperature of the mixture at +50-55⁰C. The repair of potholes of the road surface carried out in production conditions at low air temperatures proved the ability to perform repair work with high quality of work. Conclusions. It is proven that it is effective to heat the base of the pothole during repair on non-rigid road surfaces at low air temperatures before laying a cold asphalt-concrete mixture. The influence of the base temperature on its distribution over the layer thickness depending on the air temperature and the layer thickness during repair work is established. The obtained dependence of the strength limit of cold asphalt concrete of factory production on temperature allows us to determine the parameters of compacting machines that ensure high quality of repair work.

The comparative analysis of quality indicators of asphalt concrete and methods of their control is discussed in the present article. Classifications of modifiers for improving the quality of asphalt concrete are given. Novel nanoscale modifier for the improvement the resistance to climatic influences on asphalt is developed. The nanomodifier is based on sols of iron hydroxide and silicic acid. Nanomodification consists in processing of the mineral component by nanomodifier; such processing leads to the formation of nanoscale layer on the surface of the mineral carrier. As a mineral carrier we propose a highly porous mineral diatomite powder. The influence of the nanomodifier on the weathering resistance of asphalt concrete is investigated. Resistance to climatic influences was estimated by loss of strength after one nominal year of exposure. To simulate environmental impacts, an environmental chamber was used. The specimens were held in conditions that correspond to combination of summer and winter climate. One nominal year of exposure included 10 cycles of variable water saturation-drying at a temperature of 20 °C and 10 cycles of freezing-thawing (freezing was performed at –20 °C, thawing – at 20 °C). Saturation-drying and freezing-thawing duration was four hours. It was shown that by means of nanomodification the weathering resistance can be increased by 36 %.

Chip seal is most frequently used as preventive maintenance (PM) treatments on asphalt pavement. However, it’s difficult to make the performance test of chip seal in laboratory. In this paper, the specimen molding method of chip seal is established in laboratory. Firstly, considering the structure and technique condition of the original pavement, a cushion layer of asphalt concrete (AC) is used as under layer of the specimen. Secondly, the construction process of chip seal is simulated in laboratory, which includes spraying emulsified asphalt and/or glass fiber, spreading aggregate, initial rolling and conservation, post-stage rolling and conservation in interval for some time. Lastly, visual inspection and sand patch test are used to evaluate the quality of the specimen. Research results show that the method of specimen molding and test in laboratory could relatively accurately simulate, evaluate and forecast the performance of the chip seal.
