The Investigation of Colored Normal-Temperature Asphalt Concrete

Abstract:

Colored asphalt concrete refers to asphalt concrete pavement that pigments are added in or colorful stones are mixed with, pigments added de-colored petroleum resin asphalt pavement, or modified asphalt pavement with water permeability sprayed with colorful resin coating. It is indispensable to develop traffic safety and embellish street environment. Taiwan is a tropical island. In summer, black pavement absorbs heat and produces greenhouse effect, which is called the heat island effect. Due to the weather factors or outer forces, it is difficult to refill or repair the pits or holes on colored asphalt pavement. The aim of this study is to develop a repairing material package by using Marchshall Mix Design to solve the problem of colored pavement repairing. Furthermore, the repairing material package is packed in 40 kg package which is convenient for operation by using simple tools. Ultimately, life quality will be improved as well.
