Abstract:In the improvement of mechanical properties of asphalt mixtures, nanoclay and fibers exhibit excellent performance in reducing permanent deformation and resisting fatigue cracking, respectively. This study added nano clay and nylon fibers with different dosages to asphalt mixture for composite modification. The mechanical properties were compared and verified through Marshall test, elastic modulus test, dynamic creep test, fatigue test, etc., in order to improve the comprehensive mechanical properties of asphalt mixture. The experimental results show that the Marshall stability, elastic modulus, and fatigue life of 0.4% nylon fiber+6% nanoclay composite modified asphalt mixture can be improved by 11.4%, 9.1%, and 14% compared to nylon fiber or nanoclay single modification. However, in terms of resistance to permanent deformation, the composite modification effect is significantly weaker than the single modification of 6% nanoclay. The research results provide a theoretical basis for the construction of high-performance asphalt pavement.
