ABSTRACT Based on the current research achievements, the advanced research and evaluation of the low temperature propertion of the epoxy asphalt concrete are studied in detail in this paper. Factors that influence low temperature properties of asphalt concrete,mainly material factors,are studied. This paper also studied pavement distress,mainly low temperature cracking and thermal fatigue cracking, and based on that, a number of test methods are used to study the low temperature propertion of the epoxy asphalt concrete.The preparation principle and the interaction between modifiers and asphalt are studied to select material required. Finally, based on much test data and theoretic al analysis, this paper evaluates the low temperature propertion of the epoxy asphalt concrete. Key words:Modified asphalt,Epoxy Resin,Epoxy Asphalt Concrete,Low Temperature Cracking , Thermal Stress,Epoxy Resin Hardener,Stress Relaxation,Relaxation Stiffness Modules,Extender. |
