Study on the Thixotropic Properties of Mastic Asphalt

Abstract:

The asphaltic cement and mastic asphalt are respectively carried on Brookfield rotary viscometer and Lueer tester. The results show that: the thixotropic properties of mastic asphalt lags behind the asphaltic cement; as the stirring temperature is high, the thixotropic effect of mastic asphalt is not obvious, but the construction time range is large. With high stirring speed, the thixotropic effect of mastic asphalt is obvious, but the construction time range is small. The thixotropic effects of mastic asphalt are also analyzed to provide reference for the improvement of the construction process and quality of the construction.
