Project Background:
Asphalt mixture was a multi-phase composite material, and the interface was an important factor affecting its bonding strength. Therefore, the interfacial adhesion between asphalt and aggregate has become one of the hot issues in this field in the world, and multi-scale study on interface adhesion and failure mechanism between asphalt and aggregate was a difficult point to be overcome.
Aims & Goals:
1. To clarify the physical-chemical adsorption configuration of asphalt on aggregate surface;
2. To reveal the cross-scale interaction mechanism of asphalt-aggregate interface;
3. To reveal the mechanism of interface degradation and failure under the coupling action of environment and load.
