Ultraviolet Radiation Aging of Tafpack-Super Modified Porous Asphalt Concrete

Ultraviolet aging of porous asphalt concrete is more serious than that of dense-grade concrete,attributing to its relatively high air void structure. And Tafpack-Super (TPS) is widely used as an asphalt viscosifier. For the purpose of determining the effect of TPS content on resistance to ultraviolet aging,TPS powder was added to base asphalt in various weight ratios (0%,4%,8%,12% and 16%). After mixing,the loose mixtures were short-term aged and then put in the Indoor Accelerated Ultraviolet Radiation Aging Oven for several particular times and then were compacted by Gyratory Compactor at 20%±2% air void. The specimens were tested and recorded by means of indirect tensile strength (ITS) to quantify the aging extent. The results show that 8% TPS by weight is the optimum content of base asphalt on resistance to ultraviolet aging. And the ITS of mixtures with different binder reach a peak value for approximately 2 h ultraviolet irradiation.

两种高粘改性沥青老化前后流变性能分析

为了分析2种高粘改性沥青老化前后的流变性能变化规律,分别制备了10%、12%、14%改性剂掺量的TPS高粘度改性沥青和SINOTPS高粘度改性沥青,通过测试4种温度下的布氏粘度外推得到的60℃粘度(动力粘度),然后按照不同的对比方法,比较其流变性能。结果表明:未老化前改性剂掺量为10%、12%、14%时,国产的SINOTPS高粘度改性沥青动力粘度分别大于、相当于、小于TPS高粘度改性沥青;在TFOT老化后(5h),2种改性剂掺量在12%的时候粘度最好,在PAV老化下,SINOTPS表现出比TPS更高的动力粘度。
