Summary: This study comprehensively investigates the influence of wax content on asphalt binder through rheological and chemical characterization. Results show that wax additives can enhance the engineering performance of asphalt binders but meeting wax content requirements is challenging. Fischer-Tropsch and fatty acid amide waxes are effective in improving performance, while paraffin wax has a negative effect. Wax modification promotes asphalt wax crystallization, affecting low-temperature performance, but modified asphalt can alleviate this issue. Consideration of wax content and dosage flexibility is crucial for the application of wax additives.

Summary: This study focuses on the reuse of aged crumb rubber (CR) in the recycling of pavement material. Aged CR agents were prepared by simulating long-term aging, and their modification effect and engineering performance were tested. The results show that UV aging has less impact on CR, and the initial modification and aging process limit the potential of further utilization.

Summary: This study aims to develop an intelligent control system for asphalt mixture paving. A temperature cloud was mapped to monitor and visualize the quality of real-time paving. A comprehensive evaluation method based on temperature segregation index and low-temperature area index was developed. The system was found to be accurate in controlling paving temperature, thickness, and segregation degree. The impact of temperature segregation on asphalt pavement performance was explored, and the cloud map enabled real-time visualization of temperature segregation.

Summary: In this study, the modification mechanism of polyphosphoric acid (PPA) modified asphalt was explored using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The Bending Beam Rheology (BBR) test was conducted, and four indexes including K index, viscous flow (eta(1)), low-temperature integrated flexibility (Jc), and relaxation time (lambda) were obtained. The optimal low-temperature performance evaluation index of the modified asphalt was determined using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). The results showed that PPA addition to asphalt improved the compatibility between SBR and neat asphalt by chemical reactions. Based on the multi-index evaluation, Jc was found to be the optimal evaluation index for laboratory research, while lambda was ideal for engineering applications.

Summary: The study demonstrates that adding oils can improve the performance of SBS modified asphalt, with bio-oil showing higher efficiency than REOB. Tests at different aging states indicate that low-temperature performance depends on the ability to relax internal stress. FTIR scanning and aging indices show that performance-related characteristics and chemical changes mainly occur during long-term aging.

Summary: This paper investigates the viscoelastic properties of oxidized neat bitumen and three polymer-modified binders at low temperatures. The earlier proposed interrelated expressions for the relaxation modulus and for the creep compliance of bitumen binders are further developed. The method for the determination of the glass transition temperature of a binder in terms of the relaxation time spectrum is proposed.
