Under normal atmospheric pressure conditions, volume suddenly increases about 11% when the water freezes and decreased when the ice melts. The pressure can reach up to 2500 times of atmospheric pressure in the closed space when the water freezing. This is a very important characteristic of the natural world and the industrial. In low temperature condition, the snow on the pavement is easy to melt and freeze, and it will affect the road safety, increase the cracking of the road and accelerate asphalt pavement water damage. Bitumen is a mixture consisting of some extremely complex polymer hydrocarbons and hydrocarbon derivatives of non-metallic (oxygen, sulfur, nitrogen). Deicing salt is used to prevent freezing in that area, chloride salt is its main ingredient. When the water melting point reduced, it is not easy to icing but to penetrate the asphalt pavement. If the temperature is continued to reduce, salt solution will still freezing. At last, the pavement will form water damage in repeated freeze-thaw cycles conditions.

According to the phenomenon that the road would get frozen during the severe cold region in the high latitude area of Inner Mongolia, this paper study on low temperature crack resistance indexes of the asphalt pavement-the bending stiffness modulus, changing rules of stiffness modulus that is the low temperature anti-crack property index of the asphalt pavement, and bending failure characteristic. The rule changes with the density of the commonly used Chlorine salt snowmelt agent changes. Then the paper analyses how does the Chlorine salt snowmelt agent exert influences on the two kinds of aggregates of bituminous concrete. Finally, it is concluded that the snow-melting agent can weaken the performance of the asphalt pavement. The existing snow-melting agent will be replaced by Affordable and efficient pollution-free deicing in the future.

Using recyclable materials in asphalt pavement is a fundamental design approach not only for limiting the environmental impact of the construction industry, but also for reducing the overall costs of the road infrastructures. Over the past years, road agencies have developed different policies to incorporate various types of recyclable material into conventional asphalt mixtures. reclaimed asphalt pavement (RAP) is one of the most highly recycled construction materials. However, the aged RAP binder and its stiffer and brittle characteristics compared to the fresh binder may negatively affect the performance of the recycled mixture, especially when operating in cold climates. In this study, the low-temperature response of asphalt mixture prepared with single-recycled RAP (SRRAP) and double-recycled RAP (DRRAP), prepared in the laboratory, is experimentally investigated based on creep testing performed with the bending beam rheometer (BBR). Then, the data were analyzed based on three simple mathematical models to extract information on material behavior. Finally, a new indicator named thermal stress factor (TFS) on low-temperature response is proposed. Relatively poorer performance was observed from SRRAP mixture compared to the asphalt mixture prepared with virgin material. However, the low-temperature response between SRRAP and DRRAP did not present significant differences. The values of TFS support the experimental results and suggest the possibility of considering re-recycling technology for further research with the objective of a possible application in the asphalt pavement industry.

AH-30 is a type of high-viscosity matrix asphalt. The asphalt mixture made by AH-30 as a binder has an excellent antirutting performance. However, the other road performance of AH-30 was still worthy of attention. This research aims to reveal the properties of AH-30 and its impact on the road performance of asphalt mixtures (AH30-AC20/25). The AH-70 neat asphalt and SBS modified asphalt were prepared for comparison. The high-temperature sensitivity and fatigue resistance of AH-30 are evaluated by the dynamic shear rheological (DSR) test. The low-temperature performance is evaluated by the bending beam rheometer (BBR) test. The high-temperature stability (HTS) of AH30-AC20/25 is carried out by the wheel tracking (WT) test and the repeated shear constant height (RSCH) test. The low-temperature crack resistance (LTCR) is carried out by the direct stretching (DS) test. The fatigue property is carried out by the three-point bending test. Water stability (WS) is carried out by the Marshall residual stability (MRS) and the intensity ratio of the frozen and melted (IRFM) test. The test results show that the high-temperature resistance of AH-30 is better than that of AH-70. The low-temperature crack resistance of AH-30 is equivalent to that of AH-70. The AH-30 as a binder can meet the requirements of the roads, which are located at a minimum temperature of not less than −10.5°C in winter. The fatigue property of the AH-30 asphalt mixture is poor, which may be one reason why AH-30 asphalt pavement is more prone to cracking. The water stability of the AH30-AC (20/25) asphalt mixture can meet the specification requirements, and AH30-AC20 is better than the other two asphalt mixtures. The research of this paper will provide a basis and reference for the popularization and application of AH-30 in asphalt pavement.

AbstractIn ice and snow weather, the surface texture characteristics of asphalt pavement change, which will significantly affect the skid resistance performance of asphalt pavement. In this study, five asphalt mixture types of AC-5, AC-13, AC-16, SMA-13, SMA-16 were prepared under three conditions of the original state, ice and snow. In this paper, a 2D-wavelet transform approach is proposed to characterize the micro and macro texture of pavement. The Normalized Energy (NE) is proposed to describe the pavement texture quantitatively. Compared with the mean texture depth (MTD), NE has the advantages of full coverage, full automation and wide analytical scale. The results show that snow increases the micro-scale texture because of its fluffiness, while the formation of the ice sheets on the surface reduces the micro-scale texture. The filling effect of snow and ice reduces the macro-scale texture of the pavement surface. In a follow-up study, the 2D-wavelet transform approach can be applied to improve the intelligent driving braking system, which can provide pavement texture information for the safe braking strategy of driverless vehicles.

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.
