Abstract
High altitude and strong ultraviolet radiation in Qinghai Tibet Plateau induces the brittleness and hardening of asphalt, which leads to temperature cracks, pits and other diseases of asphalt pavement. In this paper, the accelerated UV aging test of rubber asphalt was carried out by simulating the UV radiation intensity in Xining, Qinghai Province, and the rheological properties and microstructure changes of rubber asphalt were analyzed. The results show that the complex modulus of rubber asphalt increases exponentially with the extension of UV aging time. The phase angle of rubber asphalt decreases linearly with UV aging, and the deformation recovery performance of rubber asphalt increases; UV radiation has the most significant effect on the micro morphology of rubber asphalt. With the further extension of UV aging time, micro cracks are formed in rubber asphalt, and the low-temperature crack resistance and fatigue failure resistance of rubber asphalt are gradually reduced.
