Abstract:Cracks have a significant impact on the normal use of asphalt pavements. The microscopic fracture mechanism of asphalt materials is further explored, which has a keying action in improving the service life of pavements. Therefore, the load-displacement data of specimens under different test conditions are obtained through the use of a semi-circular bending experiment, and according to this, various fracture indicators such as the strength, fracture energy and fracture indexes of the specimens are calculated so as to study the crack resistance of asphalt mortar at different temperatures. At the same time, by systematically analyzing the influence of factors such as asphalt type, asphalt film thickness, test temperature and loading rate on the mechanical properties of asphalt mortar, especially its crack resistance performance, a comparative analysis and study combining quantitative and qualitative methods are carried out on the asphalt mortar specimens. The results show that the fracture energy of asphalt mortar decreases with the increase of loading rate. The fracture energy of SBS modified asphalt mortar is superior to that of matrix asphalt mortar. The fracture energy when the asphalt film thickness is 10μm is better than that when the asphalt film thickness is 9μm. And the fracture energy at 10℃ is usually better than that at -5℃. The flexible fracture, brittle fracture and different load-displacement curves are presented respectively.
