Aging mechanism of foamed asphalt under the coupling effect of salt-water-temperature by Na Liu, Wenan He, Changming Wang, Kun Zhou, Hailiang Liu

“…The micro-morphology, modulus, adhesion and chemical functional groups of the specimens were obtained from the tests, and the correlation between the micro-property indexes and the macro-property indexes was analyzed. The results show that the microstructure of foamed asphalt tends to ‘homogenise’ as the number of freeze-thaw and wet-dry cycles increases; the roughness index decreases; the modulus and adhesion increase; the aromatic and sulphoxide indexes become greater. …”
