Rutting test, residual stability test and freeze-thaw split test were used to measure the properties of asphalt mixture with different graduation and same mixing amount of fibers, the results were analyzed to obtain the influence of graduation types in the road performance of fiber-reinforced asphalt mixture. The results showed as follows: fibers could obvious improve the high temperature property and water stability of asphalt mixture; the graduation types have visible impact on the improvement of all properties of fibers-reinforced asphalt mixture; SMA-13 has the greatest influence in improving the performance of fibers-reinforced mixture; the improving effect of dense graduation AC mixture will gradually decrease when the nominal maximum aggregate size was becoming bigger; graduation optimization design should be used in mix design of fibers-reinforced mixture to enhance its road performance.

Abstract In order to study the road performance of asphalt mixture with different kinds of iron waste ore , stripping waste rock rich in iron trioxide and stripping waste rock rich in iron oxide are used as aggregate to make the mixture.Through the test comparison, it is confirmed that the dynamic stability performance of asphalt concrete mixture mixed with iron trioxide mining and stripping waste rock is the best, namely its high temperature stability is best; followed by the one mixed with waste rock rich in iron trioxide. The residue stability of asphalt concrete mixed with mining and stripping waste rock increases obviously. It can found from the experiments that the residual stability can be up to 94.96% which kinds of asphalt mixture with waste rock rich in iron trioxide. Asphalt mixture mixed with stripping waste rock has a better anti-sliding performance than the common one, among which the one mixed with aggregates rich in iron trioxide is the best. Through tectonic depth, it is reflected that it also has a better performance on drainage noise reduction. In conclusion, using mining and stripping waste rock instead of mining gravel has a good economic efficiency,but also solved the problem of mining and stripping waste rock accumulation.

Expansion joints are a weak and fragile part of bridge superstructure. The damage or failure of the expansion joint will lead to the decline of bridge durability and endanger the bridge structure and traffic safety. To improve the service life and performance of bridge expansion joints, the ideal method is to use seamless expansion joints. In this study, starting from the commonly used asphalt mixture gradation of seamless expansion joint, and taking into account the actual situation of bridge expansion joint structure and environment in China, the gradation and asphalt-aggregate ratio are preliminarily designed. Through a Marshall test, the corresponding asphalt mixture is evaluated and analyzed according to the stability, flow value, and void ratio, and the optimal gradation and asphalt-aggregate ratio are determined. Finally, the asphalt mixture is prepared with the mixture ratio design, and the test results of an immersion Marshall test, fatigue performance test, and full-scale test verify that the asphalt mixture meets the road performance requirements of seamless expansion joints. On the basis of the experimental data, the performance of large sample asphalt mixture is continuously tested, compared, and optimized. The results show that the asphalt mixture ratio designed is true and reliable, which can provide reference for the optimal design of seamless expansion joint filler.

Currently, application of industrial waste or by-product in road construction industrials is a major interest by researchers, government officers and engineers. Coal ashes by-product from industrial parks negatively impact environment, costly in treatment, and require large ground for disposing areas. Therefore, this paper proposes on using the coal ash from furnace products of an industrial park in South of Vietnam to be incorporated into dense graded asphalt concrete using Nominal Maximum Aggregate Size 12.5mm. Laboratory performance tests including Marshall stability, indirect tensile strength, Cantabro loss, and dynamic fatigue test were conducted. The effects of coal ash contents in replacement of fine aggregate which is passing 4.75mm sieve from asphalt mixture into laboratory performance of mixture is also discussed in detail.

This study is focused on the effect of basalt fiber on the road performance of the asphalt mixture. The road performance of asphalt mixture with different dosages of basalt fiber was comprehensively evaluated using Marshall Stability test, the wheel tracking test, the three-point bending beam test and the freezing-thaw splitting test. The road performance of lignin fiber reinforced asphalt mixture and polyester fiber reinforced asphalt mixture also were tested to compare with the road performance of basalt fiber reinforced asphalt mixture. The results showed that basalt fiber can enhance mechanical properties, the low-and high-temperature performance and water sensitivity of the asphalt mixture significantly. Considering the road performance and economic benefits, the appropriate dosage of basalt fiber is about 0.3%. Marshall Stability (MS), dynamic stability (DS), the maximum bending strain and the tensile strength ratio (TSR) of asphalt mixture with 0.3% basalt fiber were increased by 19.6%, 25.5%, 22.2% and 6.0%, respectively. Basalt fiber has certain advantages in improving the low-temperature performance of asphalt mixture by comparison with lignin fiber and polyester fiber.

Adding sulphur dilution asphalt modifier SEAM to asphalt mixture is not only a modifier of asphalt mixture, but also an additive of asphalt mixture. When the modifier is added into the asphalt mixture, the road performance of the asphalt mixture can be improved. This paper studies SEAM modified asphalt mixture the Marshall property index, temperature stability, Water stability and fatigue feature in the Laboratory. On the based of the result of the experiment and analysis, SEAM can improve the high temperature stability, Water stability and fatigue feature. But the low temperature stability can’t improve.
