Abstract
Aging increases the stiffness and brittleness of asphalt mixtures, making it crucial to predict changes in mixture properties over time. This study aims to investigate oxidation reactions in the wearing course of asphalt pavement under oxygen diffusion. A multi-physics model, incorporating modules for thermal conductivity, oxygen diffusion, and oxidation reactions, was developed to analyze the formation of partial oxidation products in asphalt mortar. The model was optimized and validated using field data from ten road sections of Jiangsu highways. The impact of service time, location, and mixture type on aging was examined, allowing for network-level predictions of oxidation aging. Results indicate that as service time increases, the aging gradient between the surface and bottom of the wearing course becomes more pronounced. After 15 years, the surface carbonyl index increases to 330–350, while the bottom index reaches 150–180. This variation is influenced by climatic conditions and changes in mortar film thickness. These findings enhance the understanding of factors influencing field aging and improve predictions under varied conditions.
期刊介绍:
Construction and Building Materials offers an international platform for sharing innovative and original research and development in the realm of construction and building materials, along with their practical applications in new projects and repair practices. The journal publishes a diverse array of pioneering research and application papers, detailing laboratory investigations and, to a limited extent, numerical analyses or reports on full-scale projects. Multi-part papers are discouraged.
Additionally, Construction and Building Materials features comprehensive case studies and insightful review articles that contribute to new insights in the field. Our focus is on papers related to construction materials, excluding those on structural engineering, geotechnics, and unbound highway layers. Covered materials and technologies encompass cement, concrete reinforcement, bricks and mortars, additives, corrosion technology, ceramics, timber, steel, polymers, glass fibers, recycled materials, bamboo, rammed earth, non-conventional building materials, bituminous materials, and applications in railway materials.
