Laboratory Performance Evaluation of High Modulus Asphalt Concrete Modified with Different Additives

الملخص EN

The objective of this study is to evaluate comprehensive performance of high modulus asphalt concrete (HMAC) and propose common values for establishing evaluation system.

Three gradations with different modifiers were conducted to study the high and low temperature performance, shearing behavior, and water stability.

The laboratory tests for HMAC included static and dynamic modulus tests, rutting test, uniaxial penetration test, bending test, and immersion Marshall test.

Dynamic modulus test results showed that modifier can improve the static modulus and the improvements were remarkable at higher temperature.

Moreover, modulus of HMAC-20 was better than those of HMAC-16 and HMAC-25.

The results of performance test indicated that HMAC has good performance to resist high temperature rutting, and the resistances of the HMAC-20 and HMAC-25 against rutting were better than that of HMAC-16.

Then, the common values of dynamic stability were recommended.

Furthermore, common values of HMAC performance were established based on pavement performance tests.
