Effect of Freeze–Thaw cycles on the pavement performance of SBS modified and composite crumb rubber modified asphalt mixtures
Highlights A residual strain mechanical model is established to separate residual viscous flow strain and residual viscoelastic strain. According to the Exx of DIC, the mesofatigue damage variable and the antifatigue damage parameter are established. There is a quadratic polynomial function relationship between antifatigue damage parameter and fatigue life. A relaxation temperature stress calculation model considering different cooling rates is established. Freeze-thaw cycles degrade asphalt pavement performance, with salt freeze–thaw cycles having a greater effect.
Abstract The effect of freeze–thaw cycles on the pavement performance of SBS modified asphalt mixture (SBSMA) and SBS/crumb rubber composite modified asphalt mixture (CCRMA) was studied using a triaxial repeated creep test, semicircular bending fatigue test based on digital image correlation (DIC), and thermal stress restrained specimen test. The mechanical model of the residual strain (RS) of the asphalt mixtures is established, and the residual viscous flow strain (εRvf,N) and residual viscoelastic strain (εRve,N) are separated. Based on the horizontal strain (Exx) of DIC, a new mesofatigue damage variable (D) is proposed. According to the characteristic curve of D, the antifatigue damage parameter (AFDP) is established and the correlation between AFDP and fatigue life (N f) is analyzed. Simultaneously, a calculation model of the relaxation temperature stress (σRts(T)) of the asphalt mixture at different cooling rates (v) is established based on the finite element method. Results showed that the growth rates of RS, εRvf,N, and D of both asphalt mixtures accelerate, AFDP decreases, and freeze–break temperature (T D) rises with increasing freeze–thaw cycles. However, the growth rates of RS, εRvf,N, and D of CCRMA are always slower than SBSMA, the AFDP is larger than SBSMA, T D is lower than SBSMA, εRve,N is a fixed value under specific conditions, and a good correlation exists between the AFDP and N f. The pavement performance of the asphalt mixtures worsens after the freeze–thaw cycles, and the influence of a salt freeze–thaw cycles is greater than that of a water freeze–thaw cycles. Moreover, CCRMA has better high-temperature deformation resistance, fatigue damage resistance, and low-temperature cracking resistance than SBSMA. The conversion point temperature (T Z) increases with the acceleration of v, and the σRts(T) calculation model can accurately reflect the σRts(T) of the asphalt mixture at different v.
