Description

Asphalt mixture, asphalt mixture manufacturing method, pavement method, cured product, and cured product manufacturing method

This disclosure relates to an asphalt mixture, a method for producing an asphalt mixture, a pavement method, a cured product, and a method for producing a cured product.

The initial rolling temperature of the heated asphalt mixture used in the current pavement method is set, for example, in the range of 110 ° C to 140 ° C. The heated asphalt mixture can exhibit high strength immediately after construction. On the other hand, the pot life of the heated asphalt mixture is limited to the time until the temperature of the heated asphalt mixture decreases. Therefore, when a small amount of the heated asphalt mixture is used in several times, or when the heated asphalt mixture is transported for a long time, it is difficult to apply the heated asphalt mixture to the pavement method.

Therefore, an asphalt mixture that can be constructed at a lower temperature than the conventional heated asphalt mixture has been proposed. For example, a cutback asphalt mixture whose viscosity is reduced by mineral oil and a room temperature asphalt mixture using an asphalt emulsion are known (see, for example, Patent Document 1). On the other hand, the pavement method using the asphalt mixture as described above not only takes a long time to open the traffic depending on the volatilization rate of the volatile component, but also has a large environmental load due to the volatile component, so that the usable range is limited. May occur.

A water-curable asphalt mixture has been proposed to solve the above problems. By adding water to the water-curable asphalt mixture, the saponification reaction proceeds and the strength is developed (see, for example, Patent Document 2).
