Fiber-reinforced asphalt mixture has been widely used in pavement engineering to not only prevent asphalt binder leakage but also improve engineering properties of asphalt mixture. However, the research on three key parameters, namely fiber type, fiber length, and fiber content, which significantly affect the performance of fiber-reinforced asphalt mixture, have seldom been conducted systematically. To determine these three key parameters in the support of the application of fibers in mixture scientifically, three commonly used fibers were selected, basalt fiber, polyester fiber, and lignin fiber, and the testing on fibers, fiber-reinforced asphalt binders, and fiber-reinforced asphalt mixtures was conducted afterwards. The results showed: the favorable fiber type was basalt fiber; the favorable basalt fiber length was 6mm; the engineering properties including high temperature stability, low temperature crack resistance, and water susceptibility were clearly improved by the added basalt fiber, and the optimum basalt fiber content was 0.4 wt.%. The obtained results may be valuable from a practical point of view to engineers and practitioners.

Sbs Modified Asphalt

In order to improve the road performance of drainage SBS modified asphalt mixture, basalt fiber was added to prepare drainage styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) modified asphalt mixture. The viscosity-toughness, toughness, and 60°C dynamic viscosity of SBS modified asphalt were tested. The modification effect was evaluated from the perspective of high and low temperature rheological properties by dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) and bending beam rheometer (BBR) tests. The high temperature stability, water stability, low temperature crack resistance, and drainage of basalt fiber SBS drainage asphalt mixture were evaluated and compared with nonfiber SBS drainage asphalt mixture and TPS drainage asphalt mixture. The morphology characteristics of asphalt mixture and the distribution of basalt fiber in the mixture were analyzed from a micro perspective. The results showed the following: the overall performance of basalt fiber is better than that of lignin fiber. SBS modifier content in 7% can meet the requirements of drainage asphalt pavement on asphalt binder. The optimum asphalt content of SBS modified asphalt mixture with basalt fiber content of 0, 0.15, 0.25, and 0.35% is 4.9, 5.05, 5.15, and 5.2%. The fiber is irregularly distributed in the mixture to form a three-dimensional network structure, which has a series skeleton function. It plays a tensile role in the initial cracking of asphalt mixture and prevents further expansion of cracks.

Increasing the content of reclaimed asphalt pavement material (RAP) in hot-mix recycled asphalt mixture (RHMA) with a satisfactory performance has been a hot topic in recent years. In this study, the performances of Trinidad lake asphalt (TLA), virgin asphalt binder, and aged asphalt binder were first compared, and then the modification mechanism of TLA on virgin asphalt and aged asphalt was explored. Furthermore, the RHMA was designed in accordance with the French norm NF P 98-140 containing 50% and 100% RAP, and their high-temperature stability, low-temperature cracking resistance, and fatigue performances were tested to be compared with the conventional dense gradation AC-20 asphalt mixture. The results show that the addition of TLA changes the component proportion of virgin asphalt binder, but no new functional groups are produced. The hard asphalt binder modified by TLA has a better rutting resistance, while the fatigue and cracking resistance is lower, compared to both aged and virgin asphalt. The high-modulus design concept of RHMA is a promising way to increase the RAP content in RHMA with acceptable performance. Generally, the RHMA with 50% RAP has similar properties to AC-20. And, when the RAP content reaches 100%, the high- and low-temperature performance and anti-fatigue performance of RHMA are better than AC-20 mixture. Thus, recycling aged asphalt using hard asphalt binder for hot-mixing recycled asphalt mixture to increase the RAP content is feasible.

The aim of this study is to further investigate the effect of different basalt fiber (BF) factors on the viscoelastic equivalent creep behavior of fiber-reinforced asphalt mixture (FRAM) under indirect tensile (IDT) condition. A two-dimension mesostructural model composed of different components including fiber mortar polymer and coarse particle aggregate is constructed via the section image processing for the IDT FRAM specimen, where BF is considered as random distribution in the mortar polymer. Furthermore, the stress distribution and equivalent creep of the IDT mesostructural model in simulation software are analyzed to discuss the influence of components on the creep behavior of FRAM. Moreover, the laboratory creep test of IDT specimens under 0% and 0.3% BF contents for FRAM is carried out to validate the simulated values. Research results indicate that the simulated creep deformation of the IDT mesostructural model is in agreement with that of the experiment. Finally, creep simulations are further conducted to discuss the effect of BF (e.g., fiber content, length-diameter ratio, and fiber modulus) and aggregate on the creep characteristic of FRAM. The increase of fiber content and length-diameter ratio has a significant reinforcing effect on the equivalent mechanical behavior, but the change in the modulus of fiber and aggregate has slight effects.

Cold mix asphalt mixture has a low strength and poor water stability, hence to solve this challenge, a cold mix asphaltic liquid was prepared in this study based on microscopic properties. LB-10 gradation was adopted and basalt fiber was selected as a reinforcing agent. The optimum asphaltaggregate ratio was determined by the Marshall test, and mix proportion was also designed. The laboratory tests were used to systematically evaluate road performance of the cold mix asphalt mixture. From the test results, it was shown that the initial strength, molding strength, immersion Marshall strength, residual stability, freeze-thaw splitting ratio, residual rate and dynamic stability of self-made cold mix asphalt mixture were 2.42 kN, 4.87 kN, 6.79 kN, 92.8%, 82.05%, 99.5% and 632 times/mm respectively. The initial strength, molding strength and residual stability of mixture became 90.9%, 88.7%, and 96.2%, respectively of their former values after one-month storage, showing good workability. By analyzing its research data and comparing with its existing products, the developed cold mix asphalt mixture can not only meet the requirements for road performances of the cold mix asphalt mixture in terms of strength, workability and high temperature stability, but greatly improves the water stability, storage stability and cohesive performance of the mixture.

Wood fiber and lime rock powder have been used as the asphalt stabilizer and filler in highway construction. Basalt fiber and glass powder were adopted as the replacements of traditional stabilizer and filler. The experimental samples were made by tyre rubber powder modified asphalt mixture, basalt fiber, lime stone powder and basalt glass powder. The dynamic stability of the samples at 60 oC was indexed by the runs of automobile tracking. The samples with lime rock powder had the basalt fiber contents 0%, 0.2%, 0.25% and 0.3%, respectively. The corresponding dynamic stabilities were 4500 run/mm, 5300run/mm, >6000 run/mm and 5400run/mm. The samples with basalt glass powder had the basalt fiber contents 0%, 0.2% and 0.25%, respectively. The dynamic stability went above the upper limit of the tester when the basalt fiber content was 0.2%. The control group of basalt glass powder modified sample had 5600run/mm, whereas the control group of lime rock modified sample was 4500run/mm, of which the increment was 24%. We may conclude that the effect of basalt fiber reinforcement was significant. In addition, the basalt glass powder is better than lime rock powder, as the filler of asphalt composite.
