The paper investigates positive effects of three kinds of fibers on the performance of asphalt concrete mixture, which include mineral fiber (Fiberand®), lignin fiber and polyacrylonitrile (Dolanit@AS). The contrast experiments of AC-13 SBS modified asphalt mixture added fibers were carried out. The results reveal that the pavement performance can be improved remarkably if appropriate fibers are added into the asphalt mixture. The method of determining optimum mixture ratio was proposed on the basis of road performance of asphalt concrete. It is more reasonable to adopt comprehensive indicator containing stability and dynamic stability in determination of the optimum mixture ratio of asphalt concrete.

Sbs Modified Asphalt

Microscale flyash/SBS composite modified asphalts (CMA) were prepared by melt blending. Rolling thin film oven test (RTFOT) was employed to study the anti-aging property. Both flyash and SBS disperse homogeneously in the base asphalt, which lead to an improvement in terms of toughness, strength, and thermal stability. Moreover, microscale flyash plays a significant role in the CMA. The effect of flyash on the properties of SBS modified asphalt appears as a decreasing penetration, an increasing softening point, and a decreasing ductility. The anti-deformation ability under high temperature of the CMA improved significantly. In comparison with that of the base asphalt, the softening point of the CMA decreases after aging, which maybe attribute to the different rheological properties between the CMA and the base asphalt. Compared to that of SBS modified asphalt, the anti-aging property of CMA improved significantly. This demonstrates that the microstructure of flyash can prevent oxygen from diffusing and permeating.

High-modulus asphalt concrete (HMAC) is considered as an effective paving material for addressing the increasing heavy traffic and rutting problems. Therefore, one high-modulus agent was used in this study to prepare high-modulus asphalt binder with different dosages. The objective of this study is to investigate the performance and modification mechanism of high-modulus asphalt. The effects of high-modulus agent on the viscoelastic properties of asphalt with different dosages were quantified via rheological tests as compared to base binder and styrene-butadiene-styrene- (SBS-) modified asphalt. Moreover, the modification mechanism of the high-modulus agent was examined using fluorescence microscopy and infrared spectrum test. Based on rutting and dynamic modulus tests, the differences of road performances between high-modulus modified asphalt mixture and SBS-modified asphalt mixture were compared. The results demonstrate that the high-modulus agent improves the high-temperature performance and viscoelastic properties of the matrix asphalt. When the dosage increases to 6.67%, the modification effect is better than that of the SBS-modified asphalt. Furthermore, the results of the rutting test show that the high-modulus modified asphalt mixture has better resistance to deformation than the SBS-modified asphalt mixture. The dynamic modulus test further demonstrates that the high-modulus modified asphalt mixture exhibits superior performance in high-temperature range. Fluorescence microscopy shows that the high-modulus agent particles can swell in the asphalt to form polymer links that improve the viscoelastic properties of the asphalt. Based on the results of the infrared spectrum test, it can be concluded that a high-modulus agent changes the asphalt matrix via physical blending modification.

Raw materials, such as SBS modified asphalt, graphite powder and crumb rubber were selected to blend with aggregate mixture to product electrically conductive asphalt concrete. Experimental results demonstrated the stress or strain had a great influence on the resistance of conductive asphalt concrete, which exhibited sensitive piezoresistivity. In fact, the piezoresistivity reflects the change in microstructure. The reason for piezoresistivity may involve proximity effect, microcrack and the dislocation of conductive paths due to shear strength of aggregates. With further study on the variation of the resistance, it is hopeful to explore the microstructure change of asphalt concrete under dynamic compressive stress. Therefore this new-style asphalt concrete has extensively practical foreground in fatigue damage testing, highway traffic intelligent monitoring and so on.

First Time

In order to changes the original asphalt characteristics, there are many additives have been used to produce or modify the High Modulus Asphalt Binder (HMAB). Even though the hard grade asphalt binder has some disadvantages, such as the aging process due to high mixing and compacting temperature, which can negatively affect the pavement performance, some other advantages include increasing stiffness modulus of asphalt binder and high resistance to permanent deformation. Also, using the hard grade asphalt binder will save construction costs by reducing the asphalt pavement thickness due to its high stiffness modulus. In Iraq, the Novolac modifier and its Cross-linking Agent (Hexamine) was used for the first time as a modifier for asphalt which can significantly improve the rheological properties of asphalt and its role in HMA. This study focuses on estimating the thickness reduction of flexible pavement due to using High Modulus Asphalt Concrete (HMAC). The reduction in permanent deformation and thickness of pavement were estimated for suggested pavement structure sections implemented HMAC mixture compared with the pavement section implemented conventional mixtures using AASHTOWare software version 2.3. The analytical results indicate that adding 4% of Novolac modifier and 15 % of Hexamine (form weigth of Novolac) is reduced the permanent deformation and bottom up cracking by 30% and 46 % compared to conventional mix, respectively. However, it can be concluded that adding Novolac polymer modifier enhanced the pavement performance.

The types and contents of styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) modifier are two important factors of SBS modified asphalt mixtures. Nowadays, SBS are extensively utilized to modified asphalt in order to improve the performance of the flexible pavement. The objective of this study is to determine a best selection of types and contents of SBS modifier, which can improve high-temperature stability; low-temperature anti-cracking performance and moisture susceptibility of SBS modified asphalt mixture. The mixtures with four types of SBS (Linear A, Linear B, Star A, Star B) and the different contents of each type SBS including Linear SBS of 0%, 3%, 4%, 4.5% and Star SBS of 0%, 3%, 3.5%, 4%, were evaluated for the pavement performance of them under laboratory conditions. Wheel tracking test, beam bending test and freeze-thaw tensile strength test were chosen and carried out to determine high-temperature stability, low-temperature anti-cracking performance and the moisture susceptibility respectively. The laboratory testing results indicate that Star SBS show the more effective effects than Linear SBS to improve the high-temperature stability, low-temperature anti-cracking performance and moisture susceptibility of SBS modified asphalt mixture, and the optimum content of SBS can also play a key role the improvement of the pavement performance.
