Abstract
The influence of warm mix flame retardant on the road performance of asphalt is the main problem in the practical application of warm mix flame retardant. The purpose of this research is to comprehensively consider the physical performance and flame retardant performance of warm-mixed flame retardant asphalt, and to weaken the influence of warm mix flame retardant on asphalt pavement performance by multi-objective optimization of warm mix flame retardant formula. In this research, the single factor test was firstly carried out on the flame retardant asphalt with different flame retardant content to preliminarily determine the flame retardant content. Secondly, different synergistic flame retardant formulations were designed by orthogonal test, and their physical performance and flame retardant performance were evaluated. Then, the multi-objective optimization of different synergistic flame retardants was carried out by combining fuzzy mathematics and entropy weight method, and the best formula was determined. After that, the optimum dosage of warm mix agent was determined by surface activity test and variable temperature compaction test. Finally, the basic physical performance, flame retardancy, rheological performance of warm-mixed flame retardant asphalt and the road performance of warm-mixed flame retardant asphalt mixture were evaluated to explore the influence of warm mix flame retardant on asphalt performance. The results illustrated that the best formula of synergistic flame retardant in warm mix flame retardant was TiO2-SO4: ATH: APP = 2: 3: 5, and the best dosage of warm mix agent was 30 % of the mass of flame retardant (CFR). Compared with the synergistic flame retardant (SFR), the influence of surface modified warm mix flame retardant (MSFR) on the deterioration of low temperature performance of SBS modified asphalt and asphalt mixture was improved. At the same time, CFR, SFR and MSFR all improved the high temperature performance of SBS asphalt and asphalt mixture. In addition, the improvement of MSFR on the static and dynamic flame retardancy of SBS modified asphalt was better than that of CFR and SFR.
