      Asphalt Mixtures.

AB  - Green production of asphalt materials is very important to promote energy savings 
      and emission reduction during the construction and maintenance of asphalt 
      pavement. A low-temperature construction additive (LCA) made from the waste 
      plastic and waste rubber is proposed, which belongs to a class of environmentally 
      friendly additives for asphalt mixtures. Marshall stability was tested to 
      evaluate the mechanical performance of LCA-modified asphalt mixtures (LCA-AMs). 
      In order to determine the best preparation parameters of LCA-AMs, the influence 
      of the content and LCA addition method on the strength of LCA-AMs was studied. In 
      addition, the impact of epoxy resin (ER) on the mixtures' performances was 
      evaluated. The results show that the LCA can significantly reduce the formation 
      temperature of asphalt mixtures, and the resulting asphalt mixtures have good 
      workability in a lower temperature range (90-110  degrees C). The ER should be added to 
      the LCA-AMs after 4 h of curing. All the volumetric properties satisfy the 
      technical requirements. The low-temperature crack resistance and fatigue 
      resistance of LCA-AMs were obviously improved with appropriate dosages of ER, 
      which can effectively improve the mechanical performance of the asphalt mixtures. 
      The ER can significantly increase the rutting resistance and water sensitivity of 
      LCA-AMs, therefore making it feasible to improve the mixture performance by the 
      enhancement provided by a low dosage of ER.
