Abstract

In order to improve the high temperature performance of Vegetable oil recycled asphalt, this study used Polyolefin elastomer (POE) and vegetable oil (VO) to compound recycled aging asphalt. The properties of recycled asphalt were compared and analyzed by conventional physical properties and high & low temperature rheological tests. The results show that 8% VO content can achieve the best regeneration effect. Based on this VO dosage, a variety of POE/VO combination mixture schemes were designed and tested to obtain excellent deformation resistance of recycled aging asphalt under high temperature environments. The POE/VO combination with an appropriate dosage can restore the high temperature deformation resistance and elastic recovery performance even beyond the pre-aging level, and increase the critical temperature by 4~10°C. Considering the physical properties and rheological properties of asphalt, the recommended ratio of POE/VO composite recycled asphalt is 8% VO+4% POE and 8% VO+6% POE.
