Abstract:The relationship between saturate, aromatic, resin, and asphaltene (SARA) contents and asphalt properties remains unclear. This study aimed to propose a high‐throughput molecular dynamics simulation framework and demonstrate its application in rapidly building asphalt molecular models of various SARA ratios and predicting their properties, using density as an example. Based on the framework, 400 models with varying SARA ratios with different aging degrees were generated to calculate their densities and used to… Show more
