- Abstract
To improve the performance of asphalt rubber mixture under high temperature, an optimal proposal was put forward which selected asphalt rubber mortar and aggregate gradation as the main objects. According to experimental tests, the anti rutting factors and phase angles of asphalt mortar was studied with different rations of filler bitumen. And then, with the characteristics of asphalt rubber, the optimal gradation was presented by means of the adjustment of aggregate gradation which chose dynamic stability and relative deformation as value indexes. The results shew that asphalt rubber mixtures would show an optimal high temperature performance if the following measures can be taken: (1) making an adjustment of ratio of filler bitumen to about 1.2; (2) replacing mineral powder with cement; (3) making an adjustment of aggregate gradation and lower the proportion of mineral powder based on SMA.
