Although small amount of binder in asphalt concrete mixture may commonly range from 3.5 to 5.5% of total mixture as per many international specifications, it has a significant impact on the total cost of pavement construction. Therefore, this paper investigated the effects of five carbon nanotubes contents of 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.15%, 0.2%, 0.25% by asphalt weight as an additive material for binder on performance characteristics of asphalt mixtures. Performance properties of CNTs modified asphalt mixtures were investigated through the Marshall stability (MS) test, indirect tensile (IDT) test, static modulus (SM) test, wheel tracking (WT) test. The results indicated that asphalt mixtures with CNT modified binder can improve both the rutting performance, IDT strength and marshall stability of tested asphalt mixtures significantly at higher percentages of carbon nanotubes. However, the issue that should be considered is the construction cost of asphalt pavement. Based on the asphalt pavement structural analysis and construction cost, it can be concluded that an optimum CNT content of 0.1% by asphalt weight may be used as additive for asphalt binder in asphalt mixtures.

Vocs Emission

As the important part of expressway, the construction technology of asphalt pavement will contribute to the production of greenhouse gases and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which has a significant impact on the environment. In order to further analyze the composition, distribution and release of VOCs during asphalt pavement construction, the VOCs emission during paving and rolling were measured through field investigation and sampling. The results show that there are approximately 100 kinds of VOCs substances detected due to the complex organic component of asphalt binder, which is a critical factor to influence the VOCs emission during asphalt pavement construction. During the paving process, the largest VOCs release is 1015.05 ug/m3. With the increase of rolling times, the pavement temperature gradually decrease, and the VOCs emission drops to 266.73 ug/m3. The content of the 10 kinds of substances with the highest concentration accounts for more than 50% of the total VOCs content, in which the proportion of aliphatic hydrocarbons (ALH) and oxygenated hydrocarbon (O-HYD) of the paving process are the highest, while the proportion of aromatic hydrocarbons (ARH) is dominated in the rolling process. The results are vulnerable to the external environment, especially at lower emission level. The relevant research results have certain guiding significance for the control and treatment of harmful gas emission in the construction process of asphalt pavement.

Taiwan position is in the subtropics, the climate is high temperature and much rains of year. Freeway mostly uses traditional dense grade in pavement construction, so the pavement could not remove water quickly in rainy day. It will deteriorate by rutting and aging, due to increasing maintenance frequency and cost. Porous asphalt pavement has high performance on road user safe and amenity in many countries. But the prescription in porous asphalt is Variable, for example, the fiber has miner and wood. Base on multiple conditions, the best performance can choice by multiple criteria decision method. This methodology needs the criteria under independent, but the real world is not. The study use Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory method to establish the relationship in criteria. With result, the drainage capacity was the important factor in porous asphalt pavement.
