Abstract

The current research work, examines efficacy of asphalt mixes prepared with varied proportions of nano SiO2 and nano Al2O3. The study assessed the performance of modified asphalt mixes through Marshall stability, flow, indirect tensile strength, resilient modulus, Dynamic modulus, Flow number, and 4-Point bending tests. Elevated nanomaterial dosages notably enhanced high and intermediate temperature performance, nearly tripling rutting resistance, and augmenting fatigue resistance by approximately 130%. Elevated tensile strength ratios confirmed improved moisture resilience. The statistical analysis showed that nanomaterials had a significant influence on properties of asphalt mixes. Overall, diverse test approaches underscored the potential of nanomaterials in enhancing asphalt mix properties, promising durable and long-lasting pavements.
