Abstract:
The objective of this study is to evaluate the rheological properties of SBS/CRP composite modified asphalt under different aging conditions in alpine cold regions. In this study, the styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) block copolymer, crumb rubber powder (CRP), softeners and various additives were used to prepare the SBS/CRP composite modified asphalt. The 4.5% SBS modified asphalt and SK90 virgin asphalt were also selected for comparing. The thin film oven test (TFOT) and pressure aging vessel (PAV) aging test were conducted to simulate the different aging conditions. The frequency sensitivity, high-temperature deformation resistance and low-temperature crack resistance of SBS/CRP composite modified asphalt under different aging conditions were studied by the dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) and bending beam rheometer (BBR) test. The results show that the frequency sensitivity of SBS/CRP composite modified asphalt is the lowest. At low and medium temperatures, it has relatively low strength and good flexibility. The master curve of composite modulus for the unaged and aged SBS/CRP composite modified asphalt is in a cluster state. It has strong anti-aging capability, which is less affected by aging conditions. It also has a strong low-temperature relaxation ability, which can meet the requirements of performance at -24 °C in PG classification. The high-temperature deformation resistance of SBS/CRP composite modified asphalt is not much different from SBS modified asphalt's. Therefore, it can provide the basic support for the application in alpine cold regions under the conditions of low temperature, strong radiation and heavy load.
