PREPARATION OF HEAVY PAVING ASPHALT BY BLENDING-OXIDIZING ANSHAN VACUUM RESIDUE AND THE EVALUATION OF ITS PAVING PERFORMANCE

In this paper, various brand heavy paving asphalts conforming to GB/T15180-94 standard have been prepared by blending-oxidizing Anshan vacuum residue, and their pavement performances have been evaluated. The laboratory test shows that the prepared AH-70 and AH-90 has the characteristics of good temperature susceptibility, good high-temperature stability and good low-temperature cracking resistance. The mathematic model of the relationship between penetration, softening point of the asphalt and the blender content has been set up and, the relationship between penetration, softening point and the oxidation time has been found. Those mathematic models built by gradual regression of the experiment data can be used to determine the adding amount of the two blenders. Fan daobo experiential equation, which described the relationship between softening point of the paving asphalt and its compositions, has been corrected and the corrected equation is more suitable for the prepared paving asphalts than Fan daobo experiential equation.
