Lignin is abundant in nature. The use of lignin in the asphalt pavement industry can improve pavement performance while effectively optimizing pavement construction costs. The purpose of this paper is to study the effect of lignin on the anti-aging properties of asphalt. Commercial lignin was selected to prepare a lignin-modified asphalt binder. The properties of lignin-modified asphalt were studied by rheological experiments. The high-temperature rheological properties of two kinds of base asphalt and modified asphalt samples with different contents of lignin under three conditions of original, rolling thin film oven (RTFO) aging, and pressure aging vessel (PAV) were tested and analyzed with temperature sweep, frequency sweep, and multiple stress creep recovery (MSCR) tests. By comparing the variation laws of evaluation indicators, such as complex shear modulus *, phase angle , anti-aging index, cumulative strain, and viscous component G, we found that lignin could effectively improve the high-temperature stability of base asphalt, but it had a negative impact on the compatibility issues of base asphalt. Meanwhile, lignin played a filling role in the base asphalt, and the increase in viscosity was the fundamental reason for improving the high-temperature stability of the base asphalt. The research results indicated that lignin could effectively improve the anti-aging performance of asphalt and play a positive role in prolonging the service life of pavement.

The pavement base and subbase are the main load-bearing structures of asphalt pavement, and their materials need to have sufficient bearing capacity. Therefore, in the development of LSAM-50 mixtures with higher bearing capacity, after significant research and engineering practice, conventional particle size asphalt mixtures have formed their own excellent mineral gradation and have been incorporated into relevant specifications, while LSAM-50 mixtures, including mineral gradation, have not been involved in related research and engineering applications. According to the strength composition mechanism of asphalt mixtures, under the same circumstances of asphalt, due to the large nominal maximum particle size of LSAM-50 and the small amount of asphalt used, the strength of mineral grading is more important than that of asphalt, which is one of the key issues to be solved in the research of LSAM-50 mixtures.

The use of rubber-polymer composites ELTC (End of Life Tire Compound) for bitumen modification was investigated. ELTC contains not only devulcanized rubber from used car tires, but also used plastics (polymers) such as polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP). ELTC is obtained using the method of rubber devulcanization using a selective catalyst that allows selectively decomposing sulfide bonds at relatively low temperatures, while preserving most of the macromolecular chains.

In this study, the feasibility of using bamboo bark fibers as modifiers to enhance asphalt mortar performance was investigated. Bamboo bark fibers were modified with NaOH, KH570 silane coupling agent, and nano-SiO, and their preparation methods were established. The modified fibers were assessed for their oil absorption, thermal stability, and hydrophobicity.

The study investigated the thermodynamic characteristics of base and modified asphalt binders during the multiple phases of releasing the GICs, then the releasing amounts and concentrations of GICs were quantified by fume analyzer. Meanwhile, the environmental impacts of GICs from 4 kinds of asphalt binders have been quantified and interpreted.
