Abstract:Increasing the modulus of asphalt binder can effectively enhance the durability of the pavement and reduce the high-temperature diseases. In order to enrich the long-life pavement structure scheme, taking 20# hard asphalt, 70# matrix asphalt and HM-A high-modulus agent as the raw materials, and through the conventional performance indicators and rheological analysis, a Burgers model is established. Combined with the pavement performance of the mixture, the effect of high modulus on the asphalt binder and mixture is fully studied. The asphalt test results show that the increase of modulus significantly improves the stiffness of the asphalt binder, and the aging resistance and the temperature sensitivity are improved, which keep the asphalt binder elastic and significantly reduce its permanent deformation. But at the same time, some stress relaxation is reduced. The results of the mixture test show that increasing the modulus of the asphalt binder effectively reduces the generation of rutting and improves the bearing capacity of the pavement. At the same time, the low-temperature performance and the water stability performance are also improved. The rheological properties of high-modulus asphalt better reflect the temperature sensitivity and high-temperature deformation resistance of the mixture, which provides the theoretical support for the design of high-performance asphalt pavement.
