Abstract

In this paper, two types of Styrene-Butadiene-Rubber (SBR) were adopted to modify the Buton-rock asphalt (BRA) modified asphalt, aiming to select a binder with excellent comprehensive performances. Powder SBR and latex SBR (0%, 2%, 4%, 6%, and 8%), were mixed with the 15 w% BRA modified asphalt. The characterization of rheological properties included dynamic shear rheometer, rotational viscometer, and bending beam rheometer test. The short-term aging performance was characterized by the ratio of the complex shear modulus from the un-aged and rolling thin film oven (RTFOT) -aged asphalt. Besides, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy were conducted to reveal the modification mechanism. It was observed that the two kinds of BRA-SBR modified asphalt had preferable anti-crack capacity at low temperatures than the BRA modified asphalt. Compared with latex SBR, the powder SBR significantly improved the high-temperature performance, and the anti-aging capacity was stable. However, some negative influence occurred by the addition of latex SBR on the anti-rutting and short-term aging property. According to the micro-mechanism analysis, adding powder SBR and latex SBR into BRA modified asphalt was a physical blending process, and they improved the dispersion state of BRA in asphalt. Based on the comprehensive performance, the recommended combination was BRA and powder SBR.
