Effect of Basalt Fibers on Rheological Property of Asphalt Mortar

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, we used basalt fiber as an additive for improving the pavement performance of asphalt. We explored the effect of basalt fiber on the rheological property of asphalt mortar by dynamic shear rheometer techniques. Results indicate that basalt fiber causes an increase in complex modulus, storage modulus, loss modulus and rutting factor, while decrease in the phase angle and temperature susceptibility of asphalt mortar remarkablely. The regression relation between rutting factor and temperature closely fits Model ExpDec1. This improvement effect may be closely related to the microstructure of fibers such as large surface, polar groups on the surface, and the distribution state of fibers in asphalt mortar.
