Evaluation on the Adhesion Property of Recycled Asphalt Based on the Multi-Scale Experiments

The adhesion property has consistently been a critical focus in the utilization of recycled asphalt (RA). This research aimed to elucidate the mechanisms influencing the adhesion property of RA at various scales. Specimens of base asphalt (BA), aged asphalt (AA), and RA were systematically prepared. The impacts of aging and rejuvenators on the nano adhesion property of asphalt were assessed using multi-scale testing methods. The findings revealed that aging adversely affected the adhesive interaction between BA and aggregate, whereas the application of rejuvenators substantially improved this effect. When compared to acidic aggregate of granite, the alkaline aggregate of limestone demonstrated superior adhesion properties with RA. Moreover, the correlation analysis affirmed that mechanical testing across various scales consistently evaluated the trends in the adhesion property of RA with aggregates.
