Aiming at the problems of complex process flow, high energy consumption, and difficult emulsification in the preparation of traditional SBS-modified emulsified asphalt, a preparation method of fast-melting SBS (referred to as SBS-T) modified emulsified asphalt based on the integration of modification and emulsification is proposed. Based on surface free energy theory, the contact angles between three rapid-melting SBS-modified emulsified asphalts with different dosages and three probe liquids (deionized water, glycerol, and formamide) were measured using the sessile drop method. The adhesion performance of the asphalt–aggregate system was studied by means of micromechanical methods. The evaluation indicators such as the cohesion work of the emulsified asphalt, the adhesion work of asphalt–aggregate, the spalling work, and the energy ratio were analyzed. The results show that the SBS-T modifier can significantly improve the thermodynamic properties of emulsified asphalt. With increasing modifier content, the SBS-T-modified emulsified asphalt demonstrated enhanced cohesive work, improved asphalt–aggregate adhesive work, and increased energy ratio, while showing reduced stripping work. At equivalent dosage levels, the SBS-T-modified emulsified asphalt demonstrates a slight improvement in adhesion performance to aggregates compared to conventional SBS-modified emulsified asphalt. The SBS-T emulsified modified asphalt provides an effective technical solution for the preventive maintenance of asphalt pavements.

Partition walls are widely used in engineering structures, and their thermomechanical performance has a significant influence on overall safety and durability. Under extreme conditions, such as high temperatures, these walls are subjected to complex thermal expansion, stress development, and deformation, which may compromise structural stability. Analyzing full-field deformation of parathion walls with high accuracy is a burden for classical fine-scale finite element methods. To address these challenges, this study applies a multiscale finite element method to investigate the coupled thermomechanical behavior of partition walls, providing a more computationally efficient alternative to conventional single-scale models. The method effectively captures thermal–mechanical interactions in walls composed of solid steel, porous steel, and composite plates. Numerical simulations confirm the accuracy and efficiency of the proposed approach, demonstrating its suitability for practical engineering applications. The results offer a reliable basis for optimizing partition wall design, improving energy performance, and ensuring structural integrity under demanding operating conditions.

To overcome the limitations of conventional high-viscosity high-elasticity modified asphalt, including high production costs, phase separation, and thermal degradation, this study introduces a novel fast melting Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene modifier (SBS-T) for asphalt modification. The primary novelty of SBS-T lies in its ability to mitigate phase separation and thermal degradation while simplifying the production process, thereby offering a more robust and cost-effective alternative. The viscoelastic properties of SBS-T-modified asphalt were characterized through frequency sweep tests under varying loading conditions, while its fatigue behavior was quantitatively assessed using the Simplified Viscoelastic Continuum Damage (S-VECD) model. The results indicate that the SBS-T-modified asphalt exhibits outstanding viscoelastic performance across a broad range of temperatures and loading frequencies, and can better adapt to the temperature and load changes in complex pavement environments. Among them, the influence of long-term aging on the linear viscoelastic characteristics of SBS-T-modified asphalt is greater than that of ultraviolet aging. The SBS-T-modified asphalt also shows better stiffness and resistance to shear deformation. The fatigue life of asphalt gradually decreases with the deepening of the aging degree, among which the impact of long-term aging on fatigue life is greater than that of ultraviolet aging. Under different aging conditions, SBS-T-modified asphalt has shown good fatigue performance and is suitable for practical engineering applications.
