Asphalt binder is inevitably aged by ultraviolet (UV) light during its service period. UV ageing can significantly decrease the technical properties of asphalt binder. The sensitivity to and thermal-oxidative differs, such that performance cannot be determined based on performance. Previous researches mainly focused chemical composite changes ageing, parameters effect rate However, theory for characterizing explaining development depth does not get too much attentions, mechanism very clear....
This paper presents a set of algorithms for creating realistic three-dimensional (3D) models asphalt mixtures based on its composition. The process begins by measuring the shape aggregates in mixture. Using these measurements, an algorithm creates 3D volumes that approximate size and aggregates. These are then added to virtual mixer same proportions as real mixture pressed together until air void content model matches asphalt. results aggregate skeletons Next, sections taken from mortar...
