A comprehensive experiment was designed to compare the performance-related properties of a wide range of air-blown asphalt binders with those of straight run asphalt binders of similar viscosity grades. The binders were evaluated using the concepts of the Superpave binder specifications. In contrast to the prevailing perception in the industry, all performance-related properties of the air-blown binders were found to be as good as or better than conventional straight run asphalt binders.

For the interface end formed after paving asphalt overlay on cement concrete pavement, the stress field of interface end is very important for both structural analysis and interface design when the temperature drops. The stress field of interface end can be gotten with the crack-tip field theory that consider displacement continuation and stress equality on each side of interface, but it needs further verification to prove whether the initial stress field can satisfy far field boundary condition when temperature dropping. In conditions of different material properties, different plane dimension and different thickness of asphalt overlay the stress field is calculated with the finite element method (FEM), and the results show that the forms of theoretical solution can exactly describe stress field of the interface end when temperature dropping. The stress field of interface end indicates that when the elastic modulus of asphalt overlay becomes lager, the stress singularity’s degree of interface end will reduce. As for the interface end formed after paving asphalt concrete overlay on the concrete pavement, improving the elastic modulus of asphalt overlay is beneficial.

A number of warm-mix asphalt (WMA) technologies are used to reduce the temperature at which the asphalt mixtures are produced and compacted, apparently without compromising the performance of the pavement. The main objective of this study is to determine whether the use of an innovative wax-based LEADCAP WMA additive influences the performance of the asphalt mixture, which is produced and compacted at significantly low temperatures. The WMA pavement using LEADCAP additive (WMA-LEADCAP) along with a control HMA pavement was evaluated with respect to their performances of rutting resistance, crack resistance, and viscoelastic property based on the laboratory dynamic modulus test, indirect tensile strength test, and in-door accelerated pavement test (APT) results. With the limited data carried out, the LEADCAP additive is effective in producing and paving asphalt mixture at approximately 30°C lower temperature than a control HMA mixture, and the performances of WMA-LEADCAP pavement are comparable to a control HMA pavement.
