Abstract:In order to solve the problems of storage stability and property instability of traditional rubber powder modified asphalt, a new high-rubber modifier is used to prepare the modified asphalt, and through the addition of 6.7-mm sieve pore, the AC-10 gradation is modified to form a dense skeleton type of ECA-10 gradation. The rut test, Marshall stability test and low-temperature bending test are used to compare and verify the pavement performances of asphalt mixtures with two gradations (ECA-10 and AC-10) and three kinds of asphalt (SBS modified asphalt, high-viscosity asphalt and high-rubber asphalt). And the modification mechanism is analyzed by morphological observation and infrared spectroscopy. The results show that the high-temperature rutting resistance of ECA-10 gradation is better than that of AC-10 gradation, and its high-temperature performance is further improved after using the high-rubber modified asphalt. The low-temperature performance and water stability of the high-rubber modified asphalt mixture are improved more obviously than that of the other asphalt mixtures. The high-rubber masterbatch will swell in asphalt to form the non-uniform modified asphalt system of high-rubber asphalt. The modification process is characterized by physical blending and accompanying chemical reaction.
