Research Progress of Epoxy Asphalt Material for Roads

Asphalt is a semi-solid or solid mixture formed by hydrocarbons and non-metallic elements. It is widely applied in the fields of building waterproofing and road paving. Asphalt is a low noise, durable, and renewable pavement material. However, asphalt materials have some shortcomings such as liquefying at high temperatures and brittleness at low temperatures, which are less adaptable to different environments. Therefore, people have gradually shifted their focus to asphalt modification. This paper presents an in-depth analysis and research on the composition, structure, and performance of epoxy asphalt materials for roads, so that this material can be widely used.
