Abstract:The viscosity curves of five asphalts were tested by dynamic frequency scanning and steady state shearing. Zero shear viscosity of different asphalt samples at 60℃ was fitted by Cross and Carreau rheological models. The steady flow characteristics of asphalts were analyzed. The temperature scanning test and multiple stress creep recovery test were carried out to obtained the viscoelastic parameters of asphalts at different temperatures and different stress levels. And the grey correlation analysis was carried out between zero shear viscosity and the high temperature rheological parameters of asphalts. The results show that the steady state shearing test is more suitable for zero shear viscosity determination of matrix asphalt and modified asphalts than the dynamic frequency scanning test. Both Cross and Carreau rheological models can fit five asphalts zero shear viscosity well, and the fitting value of Carreau model is less than that of Cross model. Compared with other viscoelastic parameters and non recoverable creep compliance, the grey correlation degree between non recoverable creep compliance difference and zero shear viscosity of asphalt is the highest, which better reflects the high temperature performance of asphalt, and the grey correlation degree between rutting factor and zero shear viscosity of asphalt increases with the increase of temperature. Asphalt zero shear viscosity has the best correlation with non recoverable creep compliance difference and rutting factor, and all three indicators are good for evaluating asphalt high temperature performance.
