ABSTRACT
To evaluate the durability of bamboo fiber asphalt mixture using four gradation schemes, the durability of the bamboo fiber asphalt mixture is studied considering three aspects ageing durability, freeze-thaw cycle durability and fatigue durability through the Marshall test, indoor ageing test, uniaxial compression test, low-temperature bending test, immersion Marshall test, freeze-thaw splitting test and four-point bending fatigue test. Nonfiber asphalt mixture and lignin fiber asphalt mixture were used as control groups. The results show that the addition of plant fiber can effectively improve the durability of asphalt mixture. Bamboo fiber modified asphalt mastic has good ductility and adhesion due to its rough surface and good oil absorption performance. Bamboo fiber asphalt mixture has better and more stable low-temperature ageing durability and moisture ageing durability than lignin fiber asphalt mixture, but its mechanical property is weaker than the latter. The improvement effect of the two fibers on the freeze-thaw cycle durability of asphalt mixture is basically the same. Bamboo fiber can improve the flexibility of the mixture and delay the development of cracks so that the mixture has good fatigue durability. The smaller the void ratio, the thicker the asphalt film, and the denser the structure of the mixture, the better the durability. The durability of the stone mastic asphalt (SMA) gradation mixture is better than that of asphalt concrete (AC) gradation. The material composition and aggregate gradation of plant fiber asphalt mixture have a great influence on its durability. In the future, it is necessary to establish a multiparameter comprehensive evaluation index system among fiber type and properties, mixture gradation and durability so as to realize the directional regulation of the durability of different fiber asphalt mixtures. Bamboo fiber is a reliable substitute for lignin fiber, and further research on improving its surface properties and dispersion uniformity can be carried out in the future.
