Abstract:With the rapid development of highway construction in China, the scale and number of highway tunnel construction are increasing year by year. The traditional pavement in the tunnel shows some disadvantages. The tunnel space is relatively closed, and asphalt concrete also has potential risks. In this study, different flame retardants were used to prepare flame retardant asphalt. Through oxygen index test, direct combustion test, rutting test, low temperature bending test, immersion Marshall test, freeze-thaw splitting test and other methods, the effects of different mixed flame retardants on the flame retardant performance and road performance of asphalt mixture were analyzed. The results show that the self-made flame retardant has good flame retardant effect, and the optimal content is 6 %. The incorporation of flame retardant can improve the high temperature performance of asphalt mixture, improve the low temperature performance, reduce the water stability, reduce the combustion time, and improve the residual dynamic stability after combustion to a certain extent. That is, the compound flame retardant can greatly improve the flame retardant performance of asphalt mixture.
