Three kinds of combination schemes were designed about SMA-13 asphalt mixture. They were basalt aggregate SMA, limestone aggregate SMA, basalt and limestone aggregate SMA. Through the study of low temperature and high temperature test of three kinds of combination, the low temperature performance of basalt and limestone aggregate SMA was better than that of the basalt aggregate SMA; and the high temperature performance was in between, thus providing important experimental data for the limestones replacing basalt in SMA pavement.

The warm mix regeneration technology has prominent economical efficiency that can not only reduce the secondary aging of new asphalt and old asphalt in RAP materials during the production process, but also improve the use proportion of RAP materials. As for the increase of RAP dosage and the warm mix additive added to influence the plant regenerated asphalt mixture performance, this paper adopts two kinds of warm mix additive for the test and analysis of the warm mix regenerated asphalt mixture performance with 20% and 60% RAP. The results indicate that magnify the proportion of RAP percentage makes contribution to further improve high-temperature performance of the regenerated mixture, but it has adverse effects on water resistant damage performance and low-temperature performance. At the same time, adopting the warm mix additive can significantly reduce the adverse effect, so warm mix regenerated technology has better feasibility.

Fiber asphalt concrete has been more and more widely used in highway construction. For analyzing high and low temperature performance of fiber asphalt mixture, rheological properties of fiber asphalt mortar were studied through indoor test. Impact of Rheological properties of the fiber asphalt mortar on high temperature and low temperature properties of asphalt mixture was analyzed. Results showed that the larger fiber content was, the better performance of asphalt mixture's high temperature stability, fiber asphalt mortar rut factor and rutting tests results of asphalt mixture were linear correlation, reflecting the high temperature performance of asphalt mixture; With the increase of fiber content, variation of stiffness modulus, creep rate indicators and mixture low temperature performance was consistent, and rheological properties of fiber asphalt mortar could characterize low temperature performance of asphalt mixture.

In order to improve the pavement performance of reclaimed asphalt mixture, using Marshall test, rutting test, splitting test and long-term aging test, taking stability, dynamic stability, fatigue strength, stiffness modulus, and freeze-thaw splitting tension strength as the target, the influence law of old asphalt mixture content and regenerant content on pavement performance of reclaimed asphalt mixture is systematically studied. The results show that: the proportion of old asphalt mixture has no influence on high temperature performance of reclaimed asphalt mixture. With the proportion of old mixture increases, the optimum asphalt-aggregate ratio, low temperature performance, water stability, and anti-aging property of reclaimed asphalt mixture decrease. Addition of regenerant improves the low temperature performance of reclaimed asphalt mixture, and reduces the strength and high temperature stability of reclaimed asphalt mixture. Research results have great guiding significance for old asphalt mixture content selection, regenerant content selection and improving pavement performance of reclaimed asphalt mixture.

The diatomite-cellulose composite (DCC) was used to modified asphalt for pavement in the study, and then the high temperature performance, low temperature performance and temperature susceptibility of asphalt were studied. The results showed that these performances of asphalt were all improved after modified by DCC, and the performance of modified asphalt significantly associated with the ash content of DCC, and H-3 DCC was the best. The performance of modified asphalt by DCC was obviously better than using diatomite and cellulose directly. The improving properties of modified asphalt by DCC were caused by synergistic effect of diatomite and cellulose.

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.

Using the waste pavement materials can not only save resources such as bitumen and aggregate, but also reduce the pollution of environment. In this study, the high temperature performance and the moisture stability of recycled SBS modified asphalt mixture were evaluated by rutting test, immersion Marshall Test and freeze-thaw splitting routine test. In addition, the low temperature performance of recycled modified mixture was also analyzed by Fénix test whose operation was simple. The tests results illustrated that it was advantageous to improve the high temperature performance of recycled mixture and it has less influence on moisture stability with the addition of RAP. However, it had a significant adverse effect on the low temperature performance for recycled SBS modified asphalt mixture with a large quantity of RAP content. Therefore, it suggests that the RAP content for recycled SBS modified mixture is not too high.

Asphalt pavement’s surfaces deteriorate over time due to combined effect of traffic and surrounding environment. Fatigue and rutting are the major distresses which cause failures in flexible pavements. Different temperature control computer operated equipment’s are being used worldwide to predict the performance of asphalt mixtures at approximately same condition to those in-service pavements. Similarly, different types of polymers such as elastomer and thermoplastic have been used all over the world in Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) for the improvement of asphalt mixtures. But little attention has been taken to evaluate the effect of plastomer on hot mix asphalt performance. Moreover, the initial cost of elastomer is higher than other types of polymers such as plastomer. The aim of this research study is to check the effect of various plastomers on high/low temperature performance of asphalt mixture. Four performance tests like Cooper wheel tracker, dynamic modulus, uniaxial repeated load and four-point bending beam test are used to evaluate the effect of different type of plastomers such as polyethylene terephthalate, high density and low density polyethylene with limestone aggregate quarry and 60/70 pen grade asphalt binder. This research study concludes that plastomer increases flexibility and hardness of asphalt mixtures and improves the rut resistance, dynamic modulus and fatigue life of asphalt mixtures. Plastomer modification shows significant benefits as compared to neat binder for high/low temperature performance. Moreover, it can be concluded that plastomer provides an efficient and economical blend of asphalt mixture.
