Oxygen Diffusion Coefficients of Asphalt Mixtures and Their Impacts on Mixture Aging

Xingyu Chen et al.

Summary: This study investigates the influence of the diffusion coefficient (Ds) of compacted asphalt mixtures on the aging gradient and extent of asphalt binder in the mixtures. The results suggest that Ds is more closely related to the aging susceptibility of asphalt binders compared to air voids. It can serve as a useful and convenient parameter in mixture design optimization, modeling and prediction of in situ pavement aging, and quality control and quality assurance (QC/QA) in pavement construction.

Diffusion of moisture and oxygen in bitumens using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy

Mingyuan Chen et al.

Summary: This paper investigates the influence of humidity and temperature on the diffusivity of different bitumens through electrochemical impedance spectroscopy testing. The results indicate that an increase in duration, temperature, and humidity leads to a decrease in impedance and a significant increase in the capacitance parameters associated with time.

Molecular-based asphalt oxidation reaction mechanism and aging resistance optimization strategies based on quantum chemistry

Shuang Liu et al.

Summary: Understanding the oxidation reaction mechanism of asphalt is crucial for improving its aging resistance. In this study, quantum chemistry was used to investigate the oxidation reaction mechanism of 12 typical asphalt molecules and establish molecular models of aged asphalt. Based on these findings, optimization strategies for improving the aging resistance of asphalt were proposed. The results showed that the oxidation sites for oxygen-containing or heteroatoms-free molecules were on aromatic carbons, while for sulfur- or nitrogen-containing molecules, the oxidation sites were located on the heteroatoms. Reducing the content of hydrogen, hydroxyl radicals, or oxygen free radicals can effectively enhance the aging resistance of asphalt. Additionally, it was found that molecules containing sulfur and cata-condensed polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons exhibited the highest oxidation reactivity. By combining the quantum chemistry analysis with experimental results, it was observed that the content of I molecules was higher in LH90, while UP70 and MM70 contained more II molecules (particularly As3 and R5). As a result, UP70 and MM70 showed poorer aging resistance compared to LH90. The aging resistance of UP70 and MM70 can be improved by reducing the content of As3 or R5 molecules or the content of oxygen radicals. These findings are significant for the design and preparation of asphalt with excellent aging resistance.

An equation-based multiphysics modelling framework for oxidative ageing of asphalt pavements

Eman L. Omairey et al.

Summary: Long-term oxidative ageing in asphalt pavements involves multiple physical fields and requires a comprehensive multiphysics model to accurately assess its effects. A new finite element model was developed to address the high nonlinearity and circular dependency of ageing-related physics. This model successfully predicted pavement temperature profiles and oxidation levels across different climate zones.
