Revised Penetration Method Based on Evaluate High Temperature Property of SBS Modified Asphalt

Abstract:

In order to achieve the penetration method which could reflect the high temperature property of SBS modified asphalt, the paper presented the penetration test of SBS modified asphalt with different types and dosages of SBS modifier at three kinds of penetration weight and four different temperatures. Meanwhile, the high temperature performance of the SBS modified asphalt mixture was studied. It was found that penetration measured under current specification method (25oC, 100g, 5s) could not identify the difference of viscosity and high temperature property of different SBS modified asphalt. When the test conditions are revised to “penetration weight of 150 g, test temperature of 30oC, penetration time of 5s”, the penetration of different SBS modified asphalt measured by revised method could be used to evaluate the temperature susceptibility of SBS modified asphalt accurately and are closely related to the dynamic stability of mixture.
