Abstract:As one of the input parameters for the design of asphalt pavement material, the high temperature stability of the asphalt can ensure the serious rut disease not occurring within the service life of asphalt pavement. In order to explore the high temperature viscoelasticity of asphalt, three matrix asphalts and two modified asphalt are selected. The dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) is used to test its high temperature performance. The consistency of softening points, PG high temperature grading results and multiple stress creep recovery (MSCR) test results of different asphalts is compared. The result shows that the results obtained by using the different experiments have the consistency. The high temperature performance of the modified asphalt is better than the matrix asphalt. The softening point, rutting factor ( G*/sin δ ), and creep recovery percent (R) of modified asphalt are higher than the matrix asphalt, and the non-recoverable creep compliance (Jnr) are lower than the matrix asphalt. Additionally, the test index based on DSR can better express the viscoelasticity property of the asphalt by comparing with the needle penetration and softening point, and can better simulate the rutting development process on the practical pavement.
