Performance evaluation of new epoxy resin-based composite phase change materials and their asphalt mixture

In recent years,the temperature-adjusted asphalt pavement has been an extensive concern by scholars in various countries,and this pavement can reduce temperaturerelated diseases.In this study,the shaped composite phase change materials(CPCMs)were successfully synthesized by two processes,which are vacuum impregnation and epoxy curing.Firstly,the applicability of CPCMs in asphalt mixtures was evaluated by microscopic characterization,chemical compatibility,thermal properties,durability,and leakage stability.Secondly,CPCMs were applied to the asphalt mixture to evaluate its temperatureadjusted characteristics and pavement performance.Finally,the performance of the temperature-adjusted asphalt mixture was analyzed by integrating all factors.The research shows that the prepared CPCMs have excellent thermal properties and durability,the phase transition temperature is 48.93℃,and the phase transition enthalpy is 106.5 J/g,which fully meets the requirements for use in pavement.The temperature-adjusted asphalt mixture could alleviate the occurrence of extreme temperature,which was 4.9℃lower than the conventional mixture.The pavement performance of the temperatureadjusted asphalt mixture can meet the specified standards for humid areas.Considering the factors,the recommended amount of CPCMs is 1.5%.The research results provide a basis for the promotion of temperature-adjusted asphalt pavement and effectively support the development of pavement engineering technology.

To use many asbestos tailings collected in Ya-Lu highway,and to explore the feasibility of using asbestos tailings as aggregates in common asphalt mixtures,and properties of some asphalt mixtures were evaluated as well.X-ray diffraction （XRD）,X-ray fluorescent （XRF）,and atomic absorption spectrophotometry （AAS） were employed to determine the solid waste content of copper,zinc,lead,and cadmium.Volume properties and pavement performances of AC-25 asphalt mixture with asbestos tailings were also evaluated compared with those with basalt as aggregates.XRD and XRF measurement results infer that asbestos tailing is an excellent road material.Volume properties of AC-25 asphalt mixture with asbestos tailings satisfied the related specifications.No heavy metals and toxic pollution were detected in AAS test and the value of pH test is 8.23,which is help to the adhesion with asphalt in the asphalt concrete.When compared with basalt,high temperature property and the resistance to low temperature cracking of AC-25 asphalt mixture was improved by using asbestos tailings as aggregates.In-service AC-25 asphalt pavement with asbestos tailings also presented excellent performance and British Pendulum Number （BPN） coefficient of surface.

Effect of aggregate gradation on low temperature performance of asphalt paving mixtures

Low temperature cracking has become one of the important factors that diminish asphalt pavement's ride quality and service life.Especially in cold region,cracking caused by low temperature is the main distress form.This paper discussed the effect of aggregate gradation on the low temperature performance in asphalt paving mixtures.A total of 11 asphalt mixtures with 11 different aggregate gradations and one asphalt binder content were studied.Volumetric properties of the coarse aggregate and asphalt mixtures showed aggregate grading has a significant impact on the degree of aggregate interlock in asphalt mixtures.A trend is existed in the low temperature performance with the change of gradation.With the aid of mathematic statistics,it indicates gradation affects the low temperature performance significantly.The findings also indicate the relationship between the degree of aggregate interlock in asphalt mixtures and the low temperature performance:With the stone-to-stone contact developed,the mixture has a high energy to resist contract and deformation at low temperature.The properties of fine aggregate and asphalt play an important part in resisting low temperature cracking in floating structure.But it provides lower energy to resist low temperature cracking compared to the skeleton structure.

Laboratory investigation on the properties of asphalt mixtures modified with double-adding admixtures and sensitivity analysis

In order to improve the high temperature stability and low temperature cracking resistance of asphalt mixtures, two varieties of admixtures （anti-rutting agent and lignin fiber） were selected and then combined. This is called double-mixture technology. A series of tests about pavement performance of base asphalt mixtures and asphalt mixtures with admixture of anti-rutting agent or lignin fiber were conducted. Meanwhile sensitivity an- alyses were used to study the influence of three factors （i.e., asphalt grade, aggregate type and gradation） on the high and low temperature performance and water stability of said asphalt mixtures. Test results indicated that the dynamic stability, residual stability, TSR and low temperature failure strain of asphalt mixtures have increased significantly with the additions of 0.40% anti-rutting agent and 0.36% lignin fiber. These results show that the high and low temperature and water stabilities of asphalt mixtures improve obviously. This supports the beneficial comprehensive effect of the double admixture. The problem of improving the asphalt mixtures performance with a single admixture is solved, in addition to also improving other pavement performance. Based on the sensitivity analysis, the most influential factors of dynamic stability, low temperature failure strain and TSR are the gradation, followed by asphalt grade and aggregate type.

再生剂对乳化沥青冷再生混合料性能影响的试验研究

乳化沥青冷再生混合料存在水稳定性和抗裂性不足的缺陷,限制了其在工程中的应用范围。为了克服这种缺陷,研究了再生剂对乳化沥青冷再生路用性能的影响。考虑到再生剂对新沥青的不利影响,采用了再生剂与废旧沥青路面材料预再生的处理方式,并研究了预再生时间的影响。结果表明:再生剂较大幅提高了乳化沥青冷再生的水稳定性和抗裂性,添加再生剂的冷再生混合料劈裂强度最大为0.87 MPa,破坏应变值最大为8.26‰,冻融前后的劈裂强度最高分别为0.71 MPa和0.57 MPa,相比于基准的冷再生混合料分别提升了10%,117%,18.46%,27.25%;虽然再生剂软化了老化沥青,但其仍然有足够的抗车辙能力;在合适的预再生时间下,乳化沥青冷再生混合料的劈裂强度、破坏应变、冻融劈裂强度比均大于直接添加再生剂的混合料;再生剂的作用机理主要是恢复了老化沥青性质,且提高了乳化沥青和水对再生沥青路面的润湿性,从而大幅改善了乳化沥青胶浆与再生沥青路面之间的界面黏结状态;再生剂大幅提升了冷再生混合料的水稳定性、抗裂性及劈裂强度,推荐预再生时间为5 d。

直投式高黏改性沥青混合料路用性能试验

高黏改性沥青是决定排水沥青路面使用性能的关键因素之一。为了评价改性剂类型、掺量及生产工艺的影响,分别采用车辙、半圆弯曲、浸水马歇尔、冻融劈裂和浸水肯塔堡飞散试验对高黏改性沥青混合料的高温稳定性、低温抗裂性和水稳定性进行测试,通过微观形貌特征对改性剂在沥青中的工作机理进行分析。研究结果表明:不同因素对沥青混合料空隙率的影响很小。在相同的掺量和生产工艺下,与常规的泰孚派克(Tafpack super,TPS)高黏改性沥青混合料相比,热塑性树脂(thermoplastic resin,TPR)高黏改性沥青混合料具有更优的低温抗裂性、相当的水稳定性和略差的高温稳定性,但是两者的路用性能在统计学意义上无显著差异。TPR改性剂掺量的提高可以明显提升混合料的各项路用性能;当以70#普通沥青和苯乙烯-丁二烯-苯乙烯(styrenic block copolymers,SBS)改性沥青作为基质沥青时,TPR改性剂掺量分别达到13%和9%,其混合料路用性能即可满足排水沥青混合料的技术要求。总体上看,改性剂掺量和生产工艺对各项路用性能均有显著影响,其中改性剂掺量的影响大于生产工艺。从微观形貌角度证实采用直投法时沥青中存在颗粒结团,部分改性剂颗粒与沥青的不完全混融导致直投法的改性效率低于剪切法,因此采用直投法时应适当增加改性剂掺量。研究结果可为排水沥青路面的材料设计提供有益的参考。
