In this study, contrasted rubber modified asphalt and SBS modified asphalt, the mixture of AC-13C, SMA-13 and AR-AC13 are used for compaction test in the range of 120~200 °C as to covering the actual road construction compaction temperature. It can simulated the road compaction performance.The results showed that the temperature is a great influence on the volume parameter of rubber modified asphalt mixture. In the range of 160~180 °C, the void fraction, VMA and VFA of modified asphalt mixture is not sensitive to temperature, improving mixing temperature is not meaningful to improve the quality of compaction. When the temperature dropped to below 160 °C, the VMA rise rapidly, VFA falling rapidly, the increase of void fraction also present a "linear" trend, at this stage to improve mixing temperature can improve the compaction quality.

In Indonesia, the road construction has experienced a fairly good development. From a wide range of road constructions, flexible pavement is the most chosen one because its characteristics: easy, fast, and efficient. However, flexible pavement has many weaknesses, for example the premature damage on the road surface after some time passed by the traffic so that the road cannot reach the planned age. For that, it is done a research to add a hot asphalt mixture material that aims to improve the quality of the mixture results. The selected ingredient is natural water hyacinth. The method used is trial and error with reference of SNI 03-1737-1989. Variations used are 2%, 4%, 6%, 8% and 10% of the asphalt weight, asphalt level used is 5.72 %. Of the 5 variations of mixture used on Type XI Asphalt Concrete Layer, it is obtained the result that the water hyacinth fiber level which has the best score and meet the specifications of SNI 03-1737-1989 is on the percentage of 6% which obtained from calculation data using graphs and regression model where Marshall Stability is equal to 644,46 Kg, flow 3,39 mm, VMA (voids in the mineral aggregate) is equal to 13,83 %, VFWA (voids filled with asphalt) is equal to 65,35%, VIM (voids in the mix) is equal to 2,52 %, density of 2.31 gr/cc, and Marshall Quotient of 164.03 Kg / mm.

The mixture of styreneic methyl copolymers (SMCs) normal temperature-modified asphalt and styrene-butadiene styrene block copolymer (SBS)-modified asphalt (SMCSBS) compound-modified asphalt was investigated in this study. The viscosity and temperature properties of compound modified asphalt (SMCSBS) were studied by Brookfield rotary viscosity test. Dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) and bending beam rheometer (BBR) were used to test SMCSBS compound modified asphalt with different SMC additions. Finally, the microstructure and physicochemical properties of SMCSBS were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and the modification mechanism of the SMCSBS was studied. The results show that the viscosity of the compound-modified asphalt added with SMC is improved, which is conducive to improving its workability. With the increase of SMC content, the high-temperature performance of the compound modified asphalt firstly increases and then decreases with the increase of SMC content. When the content of SMC is 12%, its high-temperature performance is the best. Compared with SBS-modified asphalt, the SMCSBS has better low-temperature performance, and the creep stiffness S and creep rate m of the SMC with different content are better than that of SBS. Finally, the microcosmic characteristics show that the SMC can give full play to its characteristics and can be uniformly dispersed in SBS modified asphalt. SMC is essentially a surfactant, which can reduce the viscosity and construction temperature by changing the surface tension and surface free energy of asphalt molecules. The curing agent of epoxy resin is slowly cross-linked and cured after contacting with air to form a certain strength, thus improving the road performance of the asphalt mixture.

In order to improve the road performance of drainage SBS modified asphalt mixture, basalt fiber was added to prepare drainage styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) modified asphalt mixture. The viscosity-toughness, toughness, and 60°C dynamic viscosity of SBS modified asphalt were tested. The modification effect was evaluated from the perspective of high and low temperature rheological properties by dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) and bending beam rheometer (BBR) tests. The high temperature stability, water stability, low temperature crack resistance, and drainage of basalt fiber SBS drainage asphalt mixture were evaluated and compared with nonfiber SBS drainage asphalt mixture and TPS drainage asphalt mixture. The morphology characteristics of asphalt mixture and the distribution of basalt fiber in the mixture were analyzed from a micro perspective. The results showed the following: the overall performance of basalt fiber is better than that of lignin fiber. SBS modifier content in 7% can meet the requirements of drainage asphalt pavement on asphalt binder. The optimum asphalt content of SBS modified asphalt mixture with basalt fiber content of 0, 0.15, 0.25, and 0.35% is 4.9, 5.05, 5.15, and 5.2%. The fiber is irregularly distributed in the mixture to form a three-dimensional network structure, which has a series skeleton function. It plays a tensile role in the initial cracking of asphalt mixture and prevents further expansion of cracks.

Low temperature crack plays an important role on the road safety and comfort. Indoor experiments were carried out to study the crack resistance of asphalt mixture. The results show that: fiber and SBS modified asphalt can increase the failure strain energy, the failure stress and the failure strain and reduce stiffness, thus can significantly improve the anti-cracking ability at low temperature; at a critical temperature of about -10°C, the splitting strength achieve a peak value correspondingly, and the asphalt mixture transforms from the viscoelastic status to the brittle status; the failure load and the failure strain of the three kinds of mixtures are in the sequence of modified asphalt mixture> fiber mixture> common asphalt mixture; the results of the J-integral strain energy test show that fiber asphalt mixture has the maximum resistance curve slope, which means it may have better anti-cracking ability than the SBS modified asphalt mixture; the fracture stiffness can be introduced to effectively evaluate the crack resistance of asphalt mixture.

Abstract. Application of rigorous construction procedures is fundamental when it comes to road construction. Nowadays, and in particular in Chile, the asphalt paving construction process is based on tradition, craftsmanship and other implicit, experience-based methods employed during road construction. This means, that the different stages of the construction process, including the paving of the road, are not controlled on time as they should, which causes that the final product does not have the ideal characteristics for which the construction materials initially were designed and manufactured. Therefore, we propose the use of tools and methodologies that allow monitoring each of the stages of the construction process in almost real-time. Our approach aims to evaluate the use of Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) during the asphalt pavement construction process by capturing images and videos during the placement of the asphalt mixture and the movement of the compaction machinery (pneumatic roller and drum roller) present in the construction site. The observations are digitally processed by mainly binarization and thresholding. As a result, the macro texture of the asphalt surface was estimated and the trajectory of the compaction rollers was visualized. In conclusion, our results reveal that the main factor that influences the quality of the roads corresponds to the performance and operations of the compaction machinery.

Water functions are very diverse for humans for daily needs such as drinking water, bathing, agriculture, development, aesthetics, and lower temperatures. Palembang is a lowland area dominated by wetlands, tidal swamps, and rivers. The types of houses on stilts on the banks of the Musi river are limas, Gudang, and Chinese stilt houses which are always associated with the water environment. The construction of roads replacing the role of rivers has realized people that the water environment has an important meaning for the house on stilts. The research objective was to explore the meaning of the water environment from various aspects for residents, stilt houses, and their environment. This research method is a case study with data collection through interviews, observation, measurements, and taking photos. Data and findings were analyzed and juxtaposed with images in the field. The road construction has eliminated part of the function of the river and influenced the change in orientation of the house on stilts. In conclusion, respect for the water environment including rivers has decreased, causing the quality of the river to decline, and the house on stilts cannot take advantage of the existence of the water environment optimally
