Abstract:The problems of viscosity (vacuum capillary method) of high-viscosity modified asphalt, technical requirements for ash content of high-viscosity modifiers and the use of fiber materials in the current standards of porous (or permeable) asphalt mixture are discussed. The reason of wrong calculation formula for asphalt content in mix ratio design is analyzed. The correct formula for calculating the amount of asphalt and the effective thickness of asphalt film is derived. The analysis shows that vacuum capillary method is not suitable for assessing the viscosity of high-viscosity modified asphalt. The required value of asphalt film thickness in current standards should be reduced. The ash content of high-viscosity modifier should not be used as an evaluation index.
