Through BBR, DTT and independently developed Asphalt Thermal Cracking Test, several asphalt low temperature performance indexes(SHRP critical cracking temperature, Asphalt Thermal Cracking temperature, SHRP creep stiffness, m value, conventional ductility) were evaluated. The TSRST test was used as low temperature evaluating standard indicator. The theory of grey correlation is adopted to reach that TSRST fracture temperature has the highest correlation degree with Asphalt Thermal Cracking temperature. The SHRP critical cracking temperature has the second place of correlation degree with TSRST. Low temperature ductility has the lower correlation. Therefore it is more reasonable to adopt thermal cracking temperature than other general evaluations.

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.

Abstract Styrene Butadiene Styrene (SBS) is widely used in pavements because it significantly improves the performance of the modified asphalt. The dosage of SBS has an important effect on the low-temperature performance of the modified asphalt. The difference in relative molecular weight influences the magnitude of the change in low-temperature performance. In this paper, low temperature bending beams rheology test of five different relative molecular weight SBS modified asphalt is conducted at -12°C, -18°C and -24°C to evaluate the low-temperature properties of modified asphalt. Then, the experimental results are analysed. The results show that there is a certain correlation between the relative molecular mass of SBS and the low-temperature performance of modified asphalt. The creep stiffness and creep rate of the modified asphalt are influenced by the relative molecular mass of SBS and temperature. As the relative molecular mass increases, the low-temperature performance of the modified asphalt first rises and then decreases.

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.
