Evaluation on Viscosity Reducing Effect of Road Commonly Warm Mix Agents

Abstract:

In order to solve the problem of high dependence on manufacturers or high blindness when warm mix agents are chosen in project. On the basis of the action mechanism that the agents can reduce viscosity of asphalt so that the asphalt mixture can be mixed at low temperature, an investigation on the extent of reducing viscosity on construction temperature of these agents are presented when temperature and the mixing amount of warm mix agents are different. The optional mixing amount of different warm mix agents are recommended, providing a theoretical basis for the selection and application of warm mix agent in our country.
