The differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), rotational viscometer and dynamic shear rheology (DSR) were used to analyze and evaluate the viscoelasticity of modified asphalt. Results indicate that the sensitivity of modified asphalt to temperature is decreased while the rut resistance of asphalt is increased. In addition, the viscoelasticity of asphalt is improved after the modification with WEPS. Besides, the modified asphalt has high viscosity at low temperature and low viscosity at high temperature, which is favorable for construction.展开更多
