  • A viscoelastic model and structural properties of Sasobit-modified asphalt

    by Zhongkai Xu, Jingtao Shi, Lei Zhao, Ye Yuan, Nimrah Akram, Da Shan, Long Chen, Jianxin Li, Shi-Zhong Luo

    Sasobit is an additive to produce asphalt mixes suitable for the use at lower construction temperatures without sacrificing the mix properties. However, Sasobit damages the time–temperature superposition principle (TTSP) of asphalt. Therefore, it is difficult to characterize the constitutive equation of Sasobit-modified asphalt. This study has modeled the rheological response of Sasobit-modified bitumen (two types) using a combination of two different models that describe gel-asphalt and sol-asphalt, respectively. Sasobit-modified asphalt is cooled after heating, the wax forms a crystal network structure, and gel-asphalt is obtained. The creep process of Sasobit-modified asphalt can be described by a nonlinear model, which is accompanied by the damage of the network structure, and thus, sol-asphalt is obtained. The network structure change of the wax in the asphalt may explain the mechanism of deviation from TTSP, and the structural characteristics of Sasobit-modified asphalt could be clearly described by the combined model. This will provide a foundation for accurately acquiring the rheological properties of Sasobit-modified asphalt.

    The Effects of Bituminous Binder on the Performance of Gussasphalt Concrete for Bridge Deck Pavement

    by Guilian Zou, Xiaoyan Xu, Jianxin Li, Huayang Yu, Changjun Wang, Jie Sun

    As bituminous binders greatly influence the engineering performance of gussasphalt concrete for bridge deck pavement, selecting appropriate bitumen is a critical procedure for mixture design. In this study, five different combinations of bituminous binder for potential use in the “Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macao Bridge” project were prepared and tested. To meet the strict requirements of quality control, a new Guss-Mastic Asphalt (GMA) system was developed. Three key indices, Lueer fluidity, impact toughness, and dynamic stability, were used for GMA design and construction quality control. The test results show that the fluidity of the GMA mixtures was affected by the shear thinning phenomenon. After mixing for three hours, the Lueer value of all GMA mixtures met the requirements of pouring construction. Moreover, it was found that the influence of mixing time on GMA with styrene butadiene styrene (SBS) modified bitumen was different to other prepared mixtures. This difference is ascribed to the degradation of SBS during the blending process at an elevated temperature. Finally, the blended bitumen (30% Pen60/70 + 70% Trinidad lake asphalt (TLA)) was applied to the project of the Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macao Bridge.
