The main objective of the investigation was to rank the modifiers based on their effect on performance characteristics of asphalt under service conditions. To evaluate the effect of different modifiers on the viscoelastic response of asphalt, the temperature and frequency dependences of the dynamic viscoelastic properties were compared. The mid-temperature fatigue resistance and high-temperature rutting resistance of three polymer modified asphalts were evaluated to predict their field performance in roads. Based on the current results, an improved rutting factor was proposed to determine the rutting resistance of asphalt pavements. In addition, the viscous stiffness （Gv）, defined as the reciprocal of viscous compliance, was used to evaluate the high-temperature deformation resistance of asphalt mixtures. The experimental results indicate that the asphalt containing crumb rubber only shows superior performance at mid and high service temperatures in all three modified asphalt binders due to the action of the crumb rubber.展开更多

The SEM pictures reveal that the crumb rubber particles distribute evenly in the asphalt and they are compatible well with asphalt. The shear creep test of crumb rubber modified asphalt was carried out at -10 ℃ and 40 ℃ by Dynamic Shear Rheology （DSR）. The shearing deformation at different temperature and creep stiffness modulus curve at loading stage of crumb rubber modified asphalt have been measured. The stiffness modulus of crumb rubber modified asphalt is much temperature sensitive and it decays much quick at the early stage of loading than normal asphalt. The rate of decay of stiffness modulus is slow at the subsequent stage and stiffness modulus approaches to a stable value at the final stage at a higher temperature. In addition, Burgers model is suitable to describe and simulate experimental results of viscoelastic properties of the crumb rubber modified asphalt.展开更多

The special t...The phenomenon of cyclic hardening is observed in fatigue tests of modified asphalt controlled by low strain/stress level and it is not clear how the phenomenon affects the fatigue properties of binders. The special time weep tests were performed to investigate the point. Tests results indicate that the cyclic hardening is caused by the rearrangement of molecules in binders, and it can make the inner structure of binders getting stable and increase the fatigue properties of asphalt binders. But fatigue damage occurs when fatigue tests start, no matter the phenomenon of cyclic hardening happens or not. If the controlled load is low, the effect of rearrangement of molecules on material is beyond the effect of fatigue damage so that the cyclic hardening can be observed. When the load conditions get worse, the effect of slight fatigue damages produced in hardening stage will show.展开更多

文摘The microstructure and dynamic rheological characteristics of asphalt containing different polymer modifiers （crumb rubber, styrene-butadiene-styrene and crumb rubber mix with styrene- butadiene-styrene） at mid and high service temperature levels were investigated by using scanning electron microscopy（SEM）, dynamic shear rheometer（DSR） and repeat creep test. The main objective of the investigation was to rank the modifiers based on their effect on performance characteristics of asphalt under service conditions. To evaluate the effect of different modifiers on the viscoelastic response of asphalt, the temperature and frequency dependences of the dynamic viscoelastic properties were compared. The mid-temperature fatigue resistance and high-temperature rutting resistance of three polymer modified asphalts were evaluated to predict their field performance in roads. Based on the current results, an improved rutting factor was proposed to determine the rutting resistance of asphalt pavements. In addition, the viscous stiffness （Gv）, defined as the reciprocal of viscous compliance, was used to evaluate the high-temperature deformation resistance of asphalt mixtures. The experimental results indicate that the asphalt containing crumb rubber only shows superior performance at mid and high service temperatures in all three modified asphalt binders due to the action of the crumb rubber.

文摘In this paper,organic montmorillonite(OMMT)was added into crumb rubber modified asphalt(CRMA)to improve its high temperature performance,anti-aging performance and storage stability.The effects of different OMMT content on properties of CRMA were studied.The rutting factor obtained by dynamic shear rheological(DSR)test was adopted to evaluate the high-temperature performance.The creep stiffness and m value determined by the bending beam rheometer(BBR)test were employed to evaluate the low-temperature performance.The softening point,ductility,rutting factor before and after rolling thin film ovens test(RTFOT)and pressure aging vessel test(PAV)were compared to characterize the aging properties.Moreover,the segregation test after being reserved for 48 h and 7 d was conducted,and the softening point and rutting factor of upper and lower layers of segregation pipe were adopted to evaluate the storage stability.The results indicated that the high-temperature performance and anti-aging performance were developed with the increasing content of OMMT,while the low-temperature performance deteriorated.The storage stability was improved with the increasing content of OMMT before the content exceeded 4%,after which the storage stability declined.Taking account of all factors,it is suggested that the optimum content of OMMT is 3%−4%.

文摘Polyurethane(PU),with excellent physical and chemical properties and high designability,is one of the ideal materials for asphalt modification in the future.In this paper,based on the limitations of traditional asphalt modifiers,the preparation process,relative advantages and development prospects of PU as asphalt modifiers are described.Subsequently,the spatial structure,physical and chemical properties of PU synthetic raw materials were combined with the modification properties of PU to analyze the effect and influence of PU on asphalt modification.Specifically,polyurethane modified asphalt(PUMA)is divided into thermoplastic polyurethane modified asphalt(TP-PUMA)and thermosetting polyurethane modified asphalt(TS-PUMA).The gain effect of TPPUMA in high-temperature performance,low-temperature performance,aging resistance,fatigue resistance,weathering performance and bonding performance is obvious.In addition,it has good storage stability.With excellent road performance,TS-PUMA makes up for the shortcomings of epoxy asphalt in terms of lowtemperature performance and compatibility.Finally,due to the development trend of functional diversification of modified asphalt,the research basis and status of several new modified asphalts based on PU properties are described.Because the systematic study of PUMA is insufficient,this paper proposes corresponding research.To provide guidance and ideas for the research of PU modified asphalt.

文摘Crumb rubber modified asphalt containing 20 percent crumb rubber particles of 30 mesh has been examined by Scanning Electron Microscope （SEM） to observe the microcosmic appearance and the characteristic distribution of crumb rubber particles in asphalt. The SEM pictures reveal that the crumb rubber particles distribute evenly in the asphalt and they are compatible well with asphalt. The shear creep test of crumb rubber modified asphalt was carried out at -10 ℃ and 40 ℃ by Dynamic Shear Rheology （DSR）. The shearing deformation at different temperature and creep stiffness modulus curve at loading stage of crumb rubber modified asphalt have been measured. The stiffness modulus of crumb rubber modified asphalt is much temperature sensitive and it decays much quick at the early stage of loading than normal asphalt. The rate of decay of stiffness modulus is slow at the subsequent stage and stiffness modulus approaches to a stable value at the final stage at a higher temperature. In addition, Burgers model is suitable to describe and simulate experimental results of viscoelastic properties of the crumb rubber modified asphalt.

文摘The phenomenon of cyclic hardening is observed in fatigue tests of modified asphalt controlled by low strain/stress level and it is not clear how the phenomenon affects the fatigue properties of binders. The special time weep tests were performed to investigate the point. Tests results indicate that the cyclic hardening is caused by the rearrangement of molecules in binders, and it can make the inner structure of binders getting stable and increase the fatigue properties of asphalt binders. But fatigue damage occurs when fatigue tests start, no matter the phenomenon of cyclic hardening happens or not. If the controlled load is low, the effect of rearrangement of molecules on material is beyond the effect of fatigue damage so that the cyclic hardening can be observed. When the load conditions get worse, the effect of slight fatigue damages produced in hardening stage will show.

文摘Traditional pavement is prone to cracks,and other distresses in cold regions.In this case,asphalt modification is a common technique used to improve the performance of asphalt.This study attempts to compare the low temperature properties of three modified asphalts.For this purpose,the addition of crumb rubber(CR),modified crumb rubber(MCR),and styrene-butadiene-styrene(SBS)to the base asphalt,respectively,and CR modified asphalt,MCR modified asphalt,and SBS modified asphalt is firstly prepared.Then,the asphalt specimens are subjected to a thin film oven test(TFOT)and pressurized aging vessel(PAV)test.The bending beam rheometer(BBR)test is conducted to compare the rheology characteristics and anti-aging performance of three modified asphalts.Furthermore,the low temperature performance of three modified asphalts is compared by three approaches based on the performance grade(PG),critical low temperature,and Burgers model.The BBR results show that the CR modified asphalt has the best low temperature performance.However,the CR modified asphalt show poor aging resistance,SBS modified asphalt,and MCR modified asphalt have better aging resistance.In terms of the Burgers model,it is established to analyze the resistance to low temperature cracking of four asphalts from the perspective of viscoelastic properties.Different viscoelastic parameters indicate that the low temperature performance of CR modified asphalt is superior to the other asphalts,which is consistent with the result of the critical low temperatures.

文摘The application of waste crumb rubber to modified asphalt can not only improve pavement performance,but also make full use of renewable resources,which is of great significance to environmental protection.However,the waste crumb rubber modified asphalt has some disadvantages such as poor storage stability,high viscosity and high construction temperature requirement,which restricts the application of crumb rubber modified asphalt in road engineering.In order to improve the storage stability and construction workability of waste crumb rubber modified asphalt,in this paper hydrogen peroxide is adopted for the surface oxidation treatment of waste crumb rubber,to prepare five kinds of hydrogen peroxide treated waste crumb rubber modified asphalt with waste crumb rubber dosage of15%,20%,25%,30%,and 35%(wt%).The pavement performance was studied by conventional performance tests and rheological properties tests.Then,the microscopic mechanism was studied by scanning electron microscopy,infrared spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis.The results show that the waste crumb rubber becomes fluffy and has a richer pore structure on the surface after hydrogen peroxide treatment,which makes it easier for the light components in the asphalt to penetrate into the waste crumb rubber,and thus promotes its dissolution in asphalt,thereby improving the storage stability,construction workability,and low temperature performance of waste crumb rubber modified asphalt,but reduces the high temperature and elastic properties.At the same time,the surface polarity of activated waste crumb rubber is enhanced,and esterification reaction occurs with carboxyl groups,sulfoxides and acid anhydrides in asphalt,which effectively increases the interface bonding between asphalt and the waste crumb rubber,and further improves the storage stability,construction workability and low temperature performance of the waste crumb rubber modified asphalt.The optimum dosage of waste crumb rubber modified asphalt treated with hydrogen peroxide is 30%.
