Bonding Durability Evaluation of Polymer-Modified Emulsified Asphalt Microsurfacing by Hao Fu, Qian Chen, Xiaolong Sun, Wenwu Zhang, Shanshan Wang

“…Taking the wear resistance and pull-off properties after aging treatment and the change rate of various properties before and after treatment as evaluation indexes, the bonding durability of the microsurfacing was comprehensively evaluated by the ideal point method of entropy weight. The results show that the water damage resistance, abrasion resistance, and deformation resistance of the microsurfacing have a high correlation with the mechanical strength and adhesion performance of the modified emulsified asphalt binder. …”
