- Abstract
Aiming at the influence of mastics to aggregate adhesion on the performances of asphalt mixtures, three modeling techniques were adopted to prepare composite asphalt mixtures specimens. The influences of silane coupling agent on their road performances were studied and coupling mechanism was analyzed with Infrared Spectroscopy (IR) and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The results indicated that the road performances at 7 day and 28 day curing age increased in the beginning and then decreased with the increase of silane coupling agent dosages. The road performances, such as freeze thaw splitting strength ratio, Marshall stability and compression modulus would be enhanced 10%~30% at 0.6% in asphalt emulsion mass. There was Si O Si chemical bond on interface between mastics and modified granite aggregate by Si O chemical bond of silane coupling agent. Surface of cement asphalt emulsion mastics was rough and its structure was dense. The cement asphalt emulsion mastics can be adhered to granite aggregate surface and mastics to aggregate interface structure is improved with silane coupling agent addition.
