Abstract:The adhesion and self healing properties of five kinds of modified asphalt were evaluated by using pull out test. The influences of dry and wet healing conditions and modifier contents were investigated. Based on pull out test, the samples of damaged healing redamaged asphalt were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR) test, and the correlation between self healing performance and molecular structure of asphalt was explored. The results show that:the bonding properties of liner styrene butadiene styrene(SBS) modified asphalt, crumb rubber modified asphalt, TB rubberized asphalt and high density polyethylene(HDPE) modified asphalt are lower than that of base asphalt, while that of gilsonite modified asphalt is much better than that of base asphalt; HDPE moditified asphalt, crumb rubber modified asphalt and gilsonite modified asphalt with suitable content of gilsonite have more excellent self healing ability. The recommended contents for linear SBS, crumb rubber, TB rubber, HDPE and gilsonite are 3%, 18%, 10%15%, 8%, 12%20% respectively. There is a strong correlation between the self healing performance of asphalt mixture and the molecular selective adsorption of asphalt with less branched chain structure by aggregate surface pores.
