Resumen

In recent years, nanoparticles have been introduced into warm-mix-modified asphalt to improve asphalt performance after sustaining ultraviolet (UV) aging, yet the evaluation of aging performance is often a descriptive characterization of rheological properties. This study extends rheological characterization with viscoelastic mechanical modeling to evaluate resistance to UV aging using Sasobit and SBS compound-modified binder blended with nano-titanium dioxide (TiO2). The extended method comprises characterizations using several rheological properties and a viscoelastic mechanical model, named the 2S2P1D model, on modified asphalt after 3 days, 6 days and 9 days of ultraviolet (UV) aging. The rheological properties of the UV-aged binders were tested at high and medium temperatures in terms of viscosity, complex modulus, phase angle and fatigue factor. Rheological test results showed that nanoparticles generally had no apparent effect on the complex modulus of aged binders regardless of UV aging times. However, the aged binder with nanoparticles showed better fatigue resistance than aged binders without nanoparticles after 3 days of UV aging. As an extension, the black space diagram and 2S2P1D model were used to investigate the viscoelastic properties of these aged binders. The k and h values, as important model parameters, were almost the same and less than one for all UV-aged binders. All investigated aged asphalt binders showed characteristics of a viscoelastic solid in terms of the master curves of the complex modulus and phase angle, and the master curves of the phase angle for all UV-aged binders did not meet the time?temperature equivalence. Moreover, these observations from the 2S2P1D model revealed that aging durations did not affect the viscoelastic mechanical characteristics of warm mix asphalt in this study. The method adopted in this study may promote a comprehensive evaluation of asphalt properties after UV aging, especially considering the viscoelastic mechanical performance.
