Property of Anti-Ultraviolet Aging of LDHs Modified Asphalt

LDHs was introduced into 70# asphalt binder by different weight ratio. Asphalt penetration test, soft point test, ductility test, viscosity test, dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) test and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) test, were conducted to characterize and predict the LDHs modified asphalt. Research results indicated that the LDHs has great effect on resistance to UV of asphalt, which makes the asphalt absorb less ultraviolet radiation under the same UV intensity. Complex modulus, phase angle and FTIR test results indicate that the LDHs can significantly enhance the property of anti-ultraviolet aging of asphalt. The test results show that the LDHs has an obvious improvement on the anti UV aging of asphalt.     

Road performances of mesoporous nano-silica modified asphalt binders

The objective of this paper was to find new modifier to improve the aging resistance and low temperature cracking resistance of asphalt. To investigate the aging resistance of modified asphalt binders, mesoporous nano-silica(doping Ti~(4+)) was used as a asphalt modifier. Some physical properties including penetration, ductility, and softening point of asphalt were analyzed with RTFO(Rotating thin film oven) aging and ultraviolet aging. Moreover, the performances of high and low temperature of modified asphalt binders with pressure aging were tested by dynamic shear rheometer(DSR) test and bending beam rheometer(BBR) test. These results showed that the penetration decreased, low temperature ductility, and softening point increased when adding mesoporous nano-silica to base asphalt. After ultraviolet radiation aging, the penetration loss and ductility loss of modified asphalt decreased than that of original asphalt, the increase of softening point was also significantly reduced than that of base asphalt. Furthermore, The test results of DSR and BBR showed that the G*sinδ and creep modulus‘s' of pressure aged asphalt decreased, but the creep rate ‘m' increased. It can be concluded that the aging resistance and cracking resistance of modified asphalt are improved by adding mesoporous nano-silica, especially the doping of Ti~(4+) could improve the aging resistance obviously.     

Self healing capacity of asphalt binders

To test self healing capability of asphalt binders,three asphalt specimens(pure asphalt,modified asphalt and aged asphalt) were prepared.Every specimen was tested by dynamic shear rheometer(DSR).The temperature sweeps result indicates that both aging and SBS modifying influence the self healing capability of asphalt binder.The fatigue-heal-fatigue test was introduced to study the self healing capability of asphalt in its serving periods.Furthermore,three different periods(0.5 h,1 h,3 h) were set up to study the influence of rest time on fatigue time.It is concluded that longer rest time,less load will delay the appearance of cracks and extend the service life of asphalt binders.     

Influence of conductive additive on temperature susceptibility of asphalt binders

The effects of graphite on temperature susceptibility of asphalt binders were investigated by penetration test,Ring & Ball softening point test and viscosity test.And penetration index(IP),viscosity-temperature susceptibility(SVT),and penetration-viscosity numbers(NPV) were introduced to evaluate the effects.The results show that the penetration,softening point and viscosity of asphalt binder increase with the increase of content of graphite.This means that the addition of graphite makes asphalts stiffer.Th...     

Rheological properties of asphalt modified by supramolecular UV resistant material-LDHs

Dynamic rheological properties of asphalt modified by Supramolecular UV resistant material-layered double hydroxides(LDHs) was studied by means of the dynamic shear rheometer(DSR) test.Two typical base asphalts were chosen and modified by 2 different LDHs contents.DSR tests were performed on the original samples,samples after exposed to outdoor and samples after the artificial accelerated UV aging tests respectively to analyze the rheological properties.It is found that when the LDHs content is between 3wt% and 5wt% of asphalt weight,the high temperature performance and fatigue resistant property of the modified asphalt become better,the UV aging resistance properties are improved.

摘 要：水泥沥青复合胶结料是由水泥、沥青及多种外加剂胶结固化形成的复合胶结材料,沥青的老化会对水泥沥青复合胶结料的蠕变特性产生影响。通过水泥沥青复合胶结料不同老化程度下的蠕变试验得到其蠕变柔量,结合分数导数修正博格斯模型的蠕变柔量进行了试验结果的曲线拟合,分析了沥青老化及材料配比等因素对水泥沥青复合胶结料蠕变特性的影响。研究表明,随着沥青老化时间的增加,复合胶结料抵抗瞬时弹性变形及粘性流动变形的能力增强,弹性成分增加而粘性成分减少,材料的变形能力变差,呈现出弹性材料的变形特性。在老化初期（老化时间小于12h）,沥青老化对复合胶结料的黏弹性力学性能影响较大,而在老化后期（老化时间大于12h）,沥青老化对复合胶结料的黏弹性力学性能影响较小。在老化初期,提高沥青用量可以增强复合胶结料的蠕变变形能力;在老化后期,沥青含量对复合胶结料的蠕变变形能力影响较小。

基于室内环境模拟的再生沥青混合料老化影响因素

为了解决不同环境因素对路面工程中未经压实的再生沥青混合料(recycled asphalt mixture,RAP)老化程度影响的问题,以松散的再生沥青混合料为研究对象,利用特制的室内模拟老化试验装置,通过控制温度、湿度、老化时间、氧气浓度等因素,对新制备密级配沥青混合料AC-13进行特定环境条件下模拟老化试验.结果表明:松散RAP混合料的老化程度随试验温度升高而增加,随空气湿度增加和氧气浓度下降而降低;不同试验温度下,沥青老化的成长速度和试验终值均不相同,表明老化过程中的化学反应因温度不同而有所差异;在通入纯氮气的试验中,沥青没有发生任何老化作用,表明沥青的老化只受氧化作用影响;环球法测软化点的试验结果对温度变化较为敏感,动态剪切流变仪(dynamic shear rheometer,DSR)测定的动态复数剪切模量在表征沥青老化程度时存在一定迟滞效应;老化后沥青混合料低温性能出现衰减,主要原因是沥青长期老化作用导致.     

基质沥青老化行为与老化机理

在环境作用下沥青易产生静态硬化和氧化硬化,使沥青的流变特性发生改变,而严重影响沥青路面的耐久性,如何合理评价和选择沥青对确保路面使用品质至关重要.通过3种不同基质沥青的组分分析和不同老化状态下沥青的常规试验(针入度、软化点和延度试验)、SHRP试验(DSR(Dynamic Shear Rheometer)和BBR(Bending Beam Rheometer)试验)结果比较,结合FTIR(Fourier Transform Infrared)红外光谱试验结果,分析了不同老化状态下基质沥青的老化特性和机理.结果表明,常规试验可用来描述基质沥青老化前后性能变化,但它只能提供特定温度荷载频率下的试验信息,而SHRP试验可全方位反映沥青老化对沥青流变行为的影响,建议采用SHRP流变学指标特别是BBR试验结果评价沥青的老化特性.     

Rheological characteristics of aged asphalt binder

Different aging levels(RTFOT,PAV-10h,PAV-20h and PAV-30 h) of asphalt binders with various mass ratios of mineral powder to asphalt(0,0.4,0.8,1.2,1.6,2.0) were used to investigate the rheological properties of aged asphalt binders with respect to their short and long terms aging characteristics.Viscosity test,dynamic shear test and creep test were conducted.The test results indicate that the viscosity of aged asphalt binder increases sharply with the extension of aging period.Complex shear modulus of aged asphalt increases,which indicates that the stiffness of asphalt binders can increase.The phase angle for aged asphalt binders reduces,which indicates that the elastic portion for viscoelastic property of asphalt binders increases.|G*|·sin δ increases after aging procedure which means that the fatigue resistance becomes poor.The creep test results show that creep strain curves varies remarkably for virgin and aged asphalt binders.The total strain during loading period and the permanent strain decreases significantly for aged asphalt binders,which implies that the elastic portion increases and the viscous portion decreases.     

Rheological properties of asphalt mixtures containing various fibers

Rheological characteristics of fiber-modified asphalt mixture were investigated.Cellulous fiber,polyester fiber and mineral fiber were used as additives for asphalt mixture,and the dosages were 0.3%,0.3%,0.4%,respectively.Dynamic modulus test using superpave simple performance tester(SPT) was adopted to study the dynamic modulus and phase angle for the control mixture and fiber-modified ones at various temperatures and frequencies.Test results show that the rheological properties can be improved significantly by the addition of various fibers.The dynamic modulus increases with the increase of frequency,and the phase angle decreases with the increase of frequency.When various fibers are used,the dynamic modulus increases and phase angle decreases at each frequency.This indicates that the stiffness and the elastic portion of fiber-modified asphalt mixtures can be enhanced when various fibers are used,which results in the change of viscoelastic properties of mixtures.The creep test results show that the total strain and the permanent strain of asphalt mixtures during load-unload cycle can be significantly reduced,which results in the improvement of resistance to permanent deformation for asphalt mixtures containing various fiber additives.The Burgers model can be employed effectively to illustrate the rheological properties of fiber modified asphalt mixtures.     

Compound rejuvenation of polymer modified asphalt binder

The objective of this research was to show a way to conduct rejuvenation of aged polymer modified asphalt binder (PMB) successfully. To fully evaluate and understand the rejuvenation of aged PMB, the Penetration grade tests including penetration, soften point, ductility and elastic recovery and Superpave™ PG grade tests including DSR, BBR and DDT were conducted. The rejuvenation effect of aged PMB by utilizing a fluid recycling agent in common use for binder rejuvenation was evaluated. And then the compound rejuvenation effect of aged PMB by utilizing the recycling agent with a new modifying additive for binder modification was evaluated. The experimental results indicated that the recycling agent in common use currently does not apply to polymer modified asphalt binder rejuvenation. But the recycling agent together with the modifying additive can restore the characteristics of aged polymer modified binder very well. Therefore, compound rejuvenation of polymer modified asphalt binder is recommended.     

Effect of ageing on fatigue properties of asphalt

The fatigue properties of asphalts were investigated after various laboratory simulation ageing tests and outdoor natural exposure ultraviolet radiation ageing,by dynamic shear rheometer(DSR) time sweep fatigue test in constant strain model and a new type of specimen which was introduced to avoid the problem of adhesion failure between rotor and asphalt binder.The results show that outdoor natural exposure ageing(NEA) causes the decrease of retained fatigue life distinctly,and photodegradation caused by outdoor NEA of 1 250 μm thin films asphalt for three months,is found to be severer than pressure ageing vessel(PAV) with respects to retained fatigue life.The effect of photodegradation increases as the time of outdoor NEA increases.DSR time sweep fatigue test in constant strain indicates that the aged styrene-butadiene-styrene(SBS) modified asphalt still displays better fatigue properties than the corresponding base asphalt after ageing.

Estimation of rheological properties of RAP binder

The low-temperature rheological properties of binders in the recycled asphalt pavement (RAP) material without the damaging effects of solvent extractions were analyzed. The developed procedure is based on testing of bitumen-RAP mortars produced by mixing the fresh (virgin) binder with RAP material smaller than # 8 sieve. Different mortars were prepared, containing RAP material passing the #8 sieve and 15% by weight of fresh binder. Low temperature properties of these mortars were investigated by using the bending beam rheometer (BBR) test procedure that is specially modified for testing of the RAP mortars. The modification involved the development of a new kind of mold and different testing parameters. The RAP material used in the experimental study were both extracted from real reclaimed pavement and prepared in the laboratory, by aging binder through repeated PAV cycles. The results indicate the new procedure can capture the effect of aged properties of bitumen in the RAP and can be used to estimate the PG low temperature grade of the blended binder. Although data is limited in size, the modification of the BBR appears to be simple and provide repeatable data.     

Self-monitoring application of asphalt concrete containing graphite and carbon fibers

The self-monitoring application of asphalt concrete containing graphite and carbon fibers using indirect tensile test and wheel rolling test were introduced. The experiment results indicate that this kind of pitch-based composite is effective for strain/stress self-monitoring. In the indirect tensile test, for a completely conductive asphalt concrete specimen, the piezoresistivity was very weak and slightly positive, which meant the resistivity increase with the increment of tensile strain at all stress/strain amplitudes, with the gage factor as high as 6. The strain self-sensing ability was superior in the case of higher graphite content. However, when the conductive concrete was embedded into common asphalt concrete specimen as a partial structure function, the piezoresistivity was positive at all stress/strain amplitudes and with the gage factor of 13, which was much higher than that of completely conductive specimen. Thus, the strain self-sensing ability was superior when conductive asphalt concrete was taken in as a partial structure function. In the wheel-rolling test, the piezoresistivity was highly positive. At any stress amplitude, the piezoresistivity was strong, with the gage factor as high as 100, which was higher for a stress amplitude of 0.7 MPa than that of 0.5 MPa.

为了明确高温老化对光稳定改性沥青材料的作用效应, 优选受阻胺光稳定剂制备改性沥青, 设置热老化温度及时间对光稳定改性沥青进行热老化处置, 借助三大指标试验及布氏黏度试验系统研究热老化作用对光稳定改性沥青胶结料路用性能的影响规律, 采用原子力显微镜(Atomic Force Microscope, AFM)表征不同热老化条件下光稳定改性沥青表面粗糙度变化, 通过3D形貌重建深入分析热老化作用对于沥青微观形貌的影响, 明确热老化作用对于光稳定改性沥青的影响。结果表明: T770改性剂能够缓解热老化作用对于沥青胶结料的影响; 在热老化时间大于6 h后, 基质沥青中均有蜂状结构出现, 随着老化时间的增加, 基质沥青表面形成的特殊结构逐渐变小; T770改性沥青在老化时间6 h和9 h时均出现了蜂状结构; 根据粗糙度的数据对比, 改性沥青的表面起伏程度要比基质沥青更大。这表明在热老化作用下T770改性沥青的表面粗糙度变化程度要略高于基质沥青胶结料, 即光稳定改性沥青材料对于热老化具有更高的敏感性。     

Percolation Model of Graphite-modified Asphalt Concrete

The addition of graphite powder in conventional asphalt mixture can prodaced asphalt concrete with excellent electrical performance. Percolation theory was employed to discuss the relation between the conductivity and graphite content of graphite-rnodified asphalt concrete. It was found that the results of percolation model are consistent with experimental values. The percolation threshold of graphite-modified asphalt concrete is 10.94% graphite content account for the total volume of the binder phase consisting of asphalt and graphite. The critical exponent is 3.16, beyond the range of 1.6-2.1 for the standard lattice continuous percolation problem. Its reason is that the tunnel conduction mechanism originates near the critical percent content , which causes this system to be not universal. Tunnel mechanism is demonstrated by the nonlinear voltage-current characteristic near percolation threshald. The percolation model is able to well predict the formation and development of conductive network in graphite-modified asphalt concrete.

The results indicate that both kinds of fibres remarkably improved the high temperature performance of asphalt binder. At the same time, the reinforcement mechanism of the fibres in the asphalt binder was also analyzed.
