The purpose of this study is to further improve the road performance and emission reduction effect of tourmaline-modified asphalt. Graphene was used to enhance the performance of tourmaline-modified asphalt, and graphene/tourmaline-composite-modified asphalt was prepared. The temperature susceptibility, high temperature, anti-aging properties and rheological performance of the modified asphalt were studied. The test method of emission reduction efficiency of the modified asphalt and its mixture was proposed. The emission reduction effect of different modified asphalts and its mixture was evaluated. The enhancement effect of graphene on the properties of tourmaline-modified asphalt was confirmed. It provides a reference for the performance enhancement of inorganic material modified asphalt. The results show that the temperature susceptibility, high temperature, anti-aging properties and rheological performance of the graphene/tourmaline-composite-modified asphalt are better than those of the tourmaline-modified asphalt and base asphalt. The asphalt fume reduction rate of graphene/tourmaline-composite-modified asphalt is higher than that of tourmaline-modified asphalt. With the increase of graphene content, the emission reduction performance increases gradually, and the enhancement effect of graphene on tourmaline performance is more obvious.
Recycling scrap tyres as alternative aggregates of concrete is an innovative option. To clarify the dynamic properties of the pretreated rubberized concrete with some cumulative damage, the natural frequency, flexural dynamic stiffness, and damping ratio of the specimens under incremental stress level were investigated in this paper. The results indicated that the pretreatment of rubber particles improved the strength, ductility, and crack resistance of the rubberized concrete. The reduction of the flexural dynamic stiffness was clarified with the increase of concrete stress level. The addition of the pretreated rubber particles enhanced the concrete energy dissipation capacity during the destruction, and the specimen dissipated more energy with the increase of rubber content before its failure.
