“…As it is known that basalt fiber is produced from natural basalt material after melting at high temperatures, and as a new type of environmentally friendly and high-performance inorganic fiber material, basalt fiber has the advantages of high strength, low water absorption, acid and alkali resistance, high temperature resistance, and environmental protection [8][9][10][11]. Many researchers have carried out a large number of related experimental studies on basalt fiber-modified asphalt mixtures.…”

This paper aims at the freeze–thaw (F-T) cycles resistance of styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) modified asphalt mixture reinforced with basalt fiber in order to explore the performance evaluation and prediction of asphalt mixtures at seasonal frozen regions. Asphalt was firstly modified by the common SBS and then SBS-modified stone mastic asphalt (SMA) specimens with basalt fiber were prepared by using Superpave gyratory compaction (SGC) method. Next, asphalt mixture specimens processed by 0–21 F-T cycles were adopted for the high-temperature compression test, low-temperature splitting test and indirect tensile stiffness modulus test. Meanwhile, a three-dimensional model of F-T damage evolution of the mixtures was also established based on the reliability and damage theory. The test results showed that the loss rates of mechanical strength increased rapidly, and then gradually flattened; however, these indications changed significantly after 15–18 F-T cycles. In addition, the exponential function could reflect the variation trend of the mechanical performances with F-T cycles to a certain degree. The damage evolution and prediction model based on the reliability and damage theory can be established to analyze the internal degradation law better.

“…This method was used to evaluate the dispersion of glass fiber wool and to ensure uniformity of the dispersion within the matrix of the asphalt mixture. Specimens were cut into small pieces of approximately (10 × 10 × 5) mm for testing, and the samples were then coated with a gold/palladium alloy to increase the stiffness at the surface and to obtain conductivity without affecting the observed surface morphology, in order to make them relatively more stable during the testing [ 28 , 29 ].…”

Nowadays, in order to improve asphalt pavement performance and durability and reduce environmental pollution caused by hydrocarbon materials, many researchers are studying different ways of modifying asphalt concrete (AC) and finding alternative paving materials to extend the service life of pavements. One of the successful materials used in the modification of AC is fibers. Different types of fibers have been reinforced in AC mixtures and improvements have been observed. This research studies the performance of glass wool fibers reinforced in a dense-graded asphalt mixture. Generally, glass fibers are known to have excellent mechanical properties such as high tensile modulus, 100% elastic recovery and a very high tolerance to heat. Glass wool fibers are commonly used as a thermal insulation material. In this research, to evaluate the performance of glass wool fibers in AC, laboratory tests, the Marshall mix design test, indirect tensile strength (IDT), tensile strength ratio (TSR) and the Kim test were conducted to determine a proper mix design, tensile properties, moisture susceptibility, rutting and fatigue behaviors. Results show that the addition of glass wool fibers does affect the properties of AC mixtures. The use of glass wool fibers shows a positive consistence result, in which it improved the moisture susceptibility and rutting resistance of the AC. Additionally, results show that the addition of fiber increased tensile strength and toughness which indicates that fibers have a potential to resist distresses that occur on a surface of the road as a result of heavy traffic loading. The overall results show that the addition of glass wool fibers in AC mixtures is beneficial in improving properties of AC pavements.

The fatigue resistance of asphalt mixture is an important indicator to evaluate the durability of asphalt pavement. In order to improve the fatigue properties of asphalt mixture, diatomite and environmental basalt fiber were added. Four types of asphalt mixtures, ordinary asphalt mixture (AM), diatomite modified asphalt mixture (DAM), basalt fiber modified asphalt mixture (BFAM) and diatomite/basalt fiber composite modified asphalt mixture (DBFAM), were chosen, whose optimum asphalt–aggregate ratio, optimum content of diatomite and optimum content of basalt fiber could be determined by Marshall test and response surface methodology (RSM). The multi-functional pneumatic servo Cooper test machine was carried out by a four-point bending fatigue test. Through the comparative analysis of flexural-tensile stiffness modulus (S), initial stiffness modulus(S0), residual stiffness modulus ratio, lag angle (ϕ) and cumulative dissipation energy (ECD), the fatigue resistance of asphalt mixture can be effectively improved by adding diatomite and basalt fiber. Grey correlation analysis was also used to analyze the degree of correlation between the fatigue life and the influencing factors such as VV, VMA, VFA, OAC, S, and ECD. The analysis results indicate that ECD has the greatest impact on the fatigue life of the asphalt mixture.
