Abstract
Moisture-induced degradation is an inherent phenomenon at the interface between rubber-modified asphalt and aggregate, moisture ingress through diffusion impairs the integrity of this interface. This study employed molecular simulation to assess the performance of the rubber-modified asphalt and aggregate interface, considering multiple influencing factors such as temperature and loading. Infrared spectroscopy served to validate the alterations in functional groups after moisture exposure. Quantitative metrics, including mean square displacement, interfacial adhesion energy, adsorption energy, radius of gyration, solubility parameter, and molecular orientation, were computed to pinpoint the moisture-induced degradation zones. The findings demonstrated that the maximum moisture diffusion rate subject to various influencing parameters occurred at 298 K and 3 atm, as well as 333 K and 3 atm. Temperature exerted a more profound influence on the rubber-modified asphalt-aggregate interface compared to loading. The strength of hydrogen bonding between moisture and rubber molecules surpassed Van der Waals forces and induction force. Infrared spectroscopy showed that the diffused moisture persisted within the interface.
