Abstract
To evaluate influence of external environment and material composition on skid-resistance durability of high viscosity modified asphalt (HVMA) mixture, the accelerated abrasion test was selected to simulate decay of skid resistance for asphalt mixture by setting different test conditions. The influence of aggregate gradation, asphalt type, ambient humidity and overload on skid-resistance durability of asphalt mixture was discussed, and the significant effect of selected factors on skid-resistance durability of asphalt mixture was revealed. The results show that the skid-resistance durability of SMA-13 (Stone Mastic Asphalt) mixture is better than OGFC-13(Open Graded Friction Course) and PA-13 (Porous Asphalt) mixture under different conditions, and attenuation rate of different indexes of SMA-13 mixture is 1.6–2.2% and 0.8–2.1% lower than compared with OGFC-13 and PA-13 mixture. The attenuation rate of texture depth for asphalt mixture is closely related to aggregate gradation and asphalt, but the attenuation rate of british pendulum number for asphalt mixture with the same mineral aggregate is only significantly affected by the asphalt. The skid resistance of SMA-13 and PA-13 mixture is improved slightly by addition of high viscosity modified asphalt. The attenuation rate of texture depth of SMA-13 and PA-13 mixture with HVMA is reduced about 0.6–3.0% and 2.2–4.2% than SBS modified asphalt, but the attenuation rate of british pendulum number of above mixtures is increased about 1.2–1.6% and 0.3–1.7%. The skid-resistance durability of asphalt mixture with TPS (TAFPACK-Super) and SINOTPS high viscosity agent is better than HVA (High viscosity additive). The skid-resistance durability of asphalt mixture based on texture depth is improved under wet condition. However, the skid-resistance durability of asphalt mixture for british pendulum number gets worse due to water intrusion. The skid-resistance durability of asphalt mixture is rapidly decreased under overload condition. The influence of overload and SBS modified asphalt on skid-resistance durability of asphalt mixture is higher than ambient humidity and HVMA. This paper will provide foundation for high viscosity modified asphalt applied in asphalt pavement.
