Abstract
To quantitatively evaluate the effect of diatomite, basalt fiber, and their interaction on high- and low-temperature performance, as well as viscoelastic performance of asphalt, the softening point tests, Brookfield viscosity tests, dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) tests, and bending beam rheometer (BBR) tests were conducted. Based on DSR results at different temperatures, the shift factors deduced by a new method were adopted to plot master curves of asphalt. The Christensen-Anderson-Marasteanu (CAM) model was then used to fit the master curves and analyze the effects of different contents of diatomite and basalt fiber on the dynamic viscoelastic performance of asphalt. Then, the effect of the interaction between diatomite and basalt fiber on the performance of asphalt is quantitatively evaluated by two-way ANOVA. To further investigate and verify the mechanism of asphalt performance influenced by diatomite and basalt fiber, scanning electron microscope (SEM) tests were carried out. Results revealed that diatomite, basalt fiber, and their interaction had a significant effect on the high- and low-temperature performance, shear resistance, fatigue cracking resistance, and temperature sensitivity of asphalt. However, diatomite had the most significant effect on high-temperature performance, shear resistance, fatigue cracking resistance, and temperature sensitivity, while basalt fiber had the most significant effect on low-temperature performance. The research can provide a useful reference for the practical application of diatomite and basalt fiber in road engineering.
