To reveal the adhesion behavior of the aggregate - asphalt interface under water-temperature coupling, the temperature field of the asphalt pavement was simulated and analyzed based on Abaqus, and the morphology of the aggregate was analyzed using the Aggregate Morphological Characteristic Measurement System (AIMS II) to investigate the adhesion behavior of the asphalt interface under water-temperature coupling. The Abaqus software was used to study the temperature distribution pattern of the pavement structure of the dependent project and to construct a regional characteristic distribution model for Zhejiang Province. On this basis, aggregate texture shaping equipment was developed, aggregate morphological characteristics were tested with the aid of the Aggregate Morphological Characteristics Inspection System (AIMS II), the water immersion weighing method was used to evaluate the aggregate - asphalt interface adhesion, and the relationship between aggregate morphological characteristics and macroscopic adhesion was established. The study shows that there is a linear negative correlation between sphericity and mass loss rate, a linear positive correlation between gradient angles and mass loss rate, and an optimum value for aggregate surface texture. Using a modified 'sandwich' pulling test, four lithologies of limestone, basalt, granite and sandstone were selected to investigate the effect of environmental factors such as water and temperature on the adhesion of the aggregate to the asphalt interface. The results showed that the interfacial bonding performance of the aggregate and asphalt increased as the heating temperature of the aggregate increased, while the interfacial bonding performance of the aggregate and asphalt weakened as the water immersion time increased. The research results have certain theoretical guidance significance for enhancing the water damage resistance of asphalt mixes.
