Abstract

The performance of the color asphalt binder plays an essential role in the performance of asphalt concrete, especially for color durability and high-temperature stability. The color pavement is particularly prone to fading, rutting, crowding, and other diseases during service time. Based on this idea, firstly, this study aims to mix four different color asphalts with pigments, which were tested by the rotating thin film oven test (RTFOT) and the pressure aging vessel (PAV) test for short-term and long-term aging. The primary purpose of this study is to describe the high-temperature performance and temperature sensitivity. A certain amount of styrene–butadiene–styrene block copolymer (SBS) was respectively added to the light-color asphalt and base asphalt. The viscosity and rheological properties were tested under different temperatures using Brookfield rotating viscometer. The rheological properties were tested under different temperatures by dynamic shear rheometer. The test results indicated that the four kinds of color asphalt had the same weakening trend of the color vividness index (P) after RTFOT and PAV aging. The SBS modifier can improve the bonding performance of the compound color asphalt and Ke La Ma Yi. The apparent viscosity of the eight asphalts decreases as the temperature increases. The shear rate had a more significant influence on the viscosity of the modified asphalt. For the same kind of asphalt, under the same temperature condition (135 °C, 145 °C, 155 °C, 165 °C, 175 °C), the percentage of viscosity change in the adjacent shear speed range gradually increases.
