Scanning electron microscopy was used to study the effect of fiber's microstructure on asphalt mortar's performance. Laboratory tests of mesh-basket draindown and oven heating were designed and performed to evaluate the fibers' asphalt absorption and thermostability. A cone penetration test was used to study the flow resistance of fiber-modified asphalt mortar. Results showed that fiber can form a three-dimensional network structure in asphalt, and this network can be retained at high temperature. This network of fibers favors the formation of a thick coating of mastic without asphalt draining down. Cellulose fiber possessed a greater effect on asphalt absorption and sta- bilization than did the other fibers (mineral and carbon fiber). A dynamic shear rheometer was used to evaluate their rheological properties and rut resistance. Results indicated that fiber can effectively improve the rut and flow resistance of asphalt mortar. However, the bending beam rheometer results demonstrated that the addition of fiber had negative effects on the creep stiffness and creep rate of asphalt mortar.展开更多
The waterborne epoxy modified cement asphalt mortars were prepared with varying content waterborne epoxy and a constant fluidity.

The effects of waterborne epoxy emulsion on water/cement ratio,compressive and flexural strength,tensile bond strength,freezing and thawing damage,corrosion resistance of cement asphalt mortar cured for 7 and 28 d have been investigated. The results show that waterborne epoxy is very beneficial to the improvement of mechianical properties and durability of cement asphalt mortar. Waterborne epoxy can improve the flowing ability of cement asphalt mortar. With the increasing of waterborne epoxy content,compressive strength,flexural strength and bond strength all have increased obviously. The modified mortar shows higher resistance to corrosion and the freezing and thawing compared with control mortar.展开更多
