1 Introduction

Reuse of waste materials can reduce the consumption ofnatural resources Moreover it can alleviate the waste accu-mulation which can cause serious environmental problem[1ndash3] Therefore reuse of waste materials has got great atten-tionWith the rapid development of automotive industry thenumber of vehicles increases and then amount of scrap tiresalso increases According to the statistical data over 1 billiontires are sold each year all around the world and millionsof waste tires are generated [4 5] Waste tires are not easilydisposed of and lead to great threat to public health andenvironment Many solutions have been proposed for reuseof scrap tires [6ndash9]

Scrap tires can be recycled in the form of crumb rubber(CR) which is a profitable practice La Rosa et al [9]demonstrated that the addition of 50 phr of ground tirerubber (GTR) in styrene-isoprene-styrene (SIS) formulationpresents favorable environmental benefits Life cycle assess-ment (LCA) results indicate that the effects of virgin rubber(471) and carbon black (343) on environmental impacts

of GTR are more obvious than tire grinding process (4)Farina et al [10] investigated the environmental performanceof using crumb rubber in bituminous mixtures based onLCA Results reveal that asphalt rubber obtained throughwet process presents significant benefits for energy savingenvironmental impact human health preservation of ecosys-tems andminimization of resource depletionThe reductionsof gross energy requirement and global warming potentialrange between 36 and 45 compared with standard pavingsolutions Furthermore CR can be used to modify asphaltwhich is an effective method to consume them Previousresearches have demonstrated that CR is a successfulmodifierfor asphalt mixture because of favorable compatibility andinteraction between rubber and asphalt [5] CR modifiedasphalt andmixture havemany advantagesThey can improvethe rutting resistance at high temperature crack resistance atlow temperature fatigue resistance and elastic performance[4 11ndash13] Moreover Liang et al [14] investigated the viscousproperties storage stability and morphology of recycled tirescrap rubber modified asphalt (TSRMA) The results revealthat the addition of crumb rubber can increase viscosity of

asphalt and improve rutting deformation resistance How-ever it presents poor stability with the increasing of rubberparticle size Navarro and Gamez [4] presented the effect ofcrumb rubber on bearing capacity and cohesion of asphaltmixture The results show that crumb rubber can increasethe stiffness and stability of mixture while it slightly reducestensile strength De Almeida Junior et al [15] evaluatedthe properties of asphalt modified by rubber and styrenebutadiene styrene (SBS) respectively The findings indicatethat rubber has the potential performance to substitute SBSin pavementmaterials However it does notmeet some of therequirements in standard specifications

Diatomite is a widely used mineral with low cost andconsiderable storage which has high absorptive capacityand stability [16ndash22] It has been widely used for asphaltmodification in China [16ndash21] Mohamed Abdullah et al[17 18] studied the properties of diatomite modified asphaltThe results indicate that there is no chemical reactionbetween asphalt and diatomite Diatomite can improve therutting resistance of asphalt at high temperature The agingresistances of modified asphalt are superior to pure oneCheng et al [19] demonstrated the antiaging properties ofdiatomite modified asphalt The results reveal that diatomiteis helpful for improving the high temperature stability andantiaging property of asphalt Tan et al [21] investigatedthe low temperature property of diatomite modified asphaltThe results show that diatomite particles distribute well inasphalt and diatomite modified mixture possesses better lowtemperature performance than neat one

Currently SBS copolymer is the most widely used modi-fier for asphalt which can absorb the oil fractions and swellthem [23ndash25] It can improve both high and low temperatureperformances of mixture Khodaii and Mehrara [26] con-ducted dynamic creep tests for unmodified and SBSmodifiedasphalt SBS modified mixture possesses lower temperaturesusceptibility and higher compactibility Sun et al [27] foundthat reactive blending of SBS and asphalt can improve thehot storage stability rheological properties elasticity anddeformation resistance of modified asphalt The limitationsfor SBS modified asphalt lie in its lower workability higherproduction cost and being easy to aging [28 29] Thereforeit is crucial to have some other waste materials to partiallysubstitute for SBS in modified asphalt CR can reduce thecost and possess favorable performances which is a favorablesubstitute In order to meet the requirements of high graderoad pavement modified asphalt with better performancescan be prepared using CR and SBS composite modifierDong et al [30] investigated the rheological behavior ofSBSCR composite modified asphalt The results reveal thatthe addition of CR and SBS can effectively improve theviscoelastic property and temperature sensitivity of asphalt

In addition freeze-thaw (F-T) cycle is an important factorto influence the performances of road pavement in seasonalfrozen regions which cover 535 of Chinarsquos land area Roadpavement in this region is exposed to at least one F-T cycleeach year [31] CR has beenwidely used in concrete to provideF-T protection [32] Meanwhile Zhang et al [33] foundthat rubber modified asphalt mixture has better antifreezingperformance than the neat one Current research results

indicate that CR is an effective additive to improve the F-Tresistance for road materials

Grey theory was proposed by Deng in 1982 [34] whichhad been widely used in many fields for factor analysisand forecasting Grey relational analysis (GRA) was widelyused to evaluate the influential degrees of factors [35 36]Grey model is another important aspect in grey theorywhich can achieve high prediction accuracy for uncertainsystems It can realize the prediction of system behavior usingfewer data and less complicated mathematical calculation[37] Ren et al [38] predicted the long-term cumulativeplastic deformation of subgrade under cyclic loads using greymodel Wang and Li [39] adopted grey model for pavementsmoothness prediction Grey model was also used for thepredictions in environmental vulnerability assessment [40]natural disasters [41] and road traffic [42] and so forth GM(1 1) (Grey Model First-Order One Variable) is one of themost widely used grey models in practical application [43]However the limitation existing in traditionalGM(1 1) is thatit needs equal interval for time series data It cannot be usedfor time series data with nonequal interval [44]

As discussed above reuse of CR and diatomite possessesfavorable economic and environmental benefits Further-more F-T action has significant effect on the properties ofasphalt pavement in seasonal frozen regions It will reducethe pavement life severelyThe compoundmodified effects ofCR and diatomite CR and SBS on asphalt mixture under F-T actions are still unknown In order to improve the freezingresistance of asphalt pavement crumb rubber modifiedstone mastic asphalt (CRSMA) crumb rubber and diatomitemodified stonemastic asphalt (CRDSMA) and crumb rubberand SBS modified stone mastic asphalt (CRSSMA) wereprepared respectively Effects of F-T cycles on three differentkinds of asphalt mixtures were tested and evaluated usingair voids indirect tensile strength (ITS) test and indirecttensile stiffness modulus (ITSM) test Meanwhile predictionanalysis was used to construct the relationships betweenproperties and F-T cycles in order to improve the conveniencefor performance analysis of mixture Modified grey modelMGM (1 2) was applied for prediction of air void and ITS

22 Asphalt Mixture Stone mastic asphalt (SMA) was devel-oped in Germany during the 1960s It has been used as thepremium pavement surfacing course for heavy-duty pave-ments high-speed motorways and highways in AmericaEurope China and several other countries due to its excellentrutting resistance fatigue resistance durability and lowernoise characteristics comparedwith dense graded asphalt [4546] In this research SMA-13 gradation was designed basedon the Course Aggregate Void Filling (CAVF) method [47]The designed gradation was shown in Figure 1 Accordingto previous research results the diatomite content 15 byweight of asphalt and crumb rubber content 3 by weight ofaggregate were adopted [15] Optimum asphalt contents weredetermined by Marshall method They are 63 65 and66 for CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMA respectively

In order to make crumb rubber and diatomite dispersehomogeneous in the mixture the preparation process wasoptimized The designed preparation process for CRSMAwas shown in Figure 2 Similar to the process in Figure 2CRDSMA would be produced if filler was replaced withfiller and diatomite CRSSMA was obtained if neat asphaltwas replaced with SBS modified asphalt Detailed steps wereexplained as follows

Step 2 Asphalt was heated to 165∘C and added to themixtureof crumb rubber and aggregate They were blended togetherat 165∘C for 90 s using mixing pot The mixing speed is alsoset to be 80 rmin In this step neat asphalt was used forCRSMA andCRDSMA while it was SBSmodified asphalt forCRSSMA

(3) The samples were removed from plastic bags andplaced into water tank for 8 h with constant tempera-ture 60∘C until all the water was melted

After (1) (2) and (3) one F-T cycle was completed Inthis study the number of F-T cycles was 15 for ITS test and10 for air void and ITSM tests After F-T cycles the sampleswere removed from plastic bags and placed into water tankfor 24 h with constant temperature 60∘CThen they were putinto water tank for 2 h with constant temperature 25∘C andsample spacing was bigger than 10mm The treated sampleswere used for air void ITS and ITSM tests

32 Air Void Test In this paper air voids for sampleswere tested by surface-dry condition method accordingto standard AASHTO T-166 [48] Firstly Marshall speci-mens (101mm diameter and 635mm height) were preparedthrough compaction method with 75 blows on each sideof cylindrical samples Secondly masses for samples in drywater and surface-dry conditions were measured respec-tively Bulk specific gravity for samples can be calculated by

120574119891 = 119898119886(119898119891 minus 119898119908) (1)

where 119898119886 119898119908 and 119898119891 are masses of sample in dry waterand surface-dry conditions respectivelyThen the theoreticalmaximum specific gravity (120574119905) of samples was tested throughvacuum sealing method Finally air voids of samples can beobtained by

119881119881 = (1 minus 120574119891120574119905 ) times 100 (2)

Change ratio of air void was calculated by

4 Results and Discussion

41 Air Voids Air void is an important characteristic ofinternal structure that affects the moisture damage of asphaltmixture Air voids of CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMAunder 0 1 2 10 times of F-T cycles were tested respec-tively Corresponding Δ119881119881119894 (119894 = 1 2 10) were calculatedThree specimens were measured for each case For thesemeasurements mean value and standard deviation (SD) werecalculated respectively Corresponding estimation of verticalerror bar was determined for each case which represents thestandard deviation Results of air voids (Mean plusmn SD) andΔ119881119881 for CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMA before and afterF-T cycles are shown in Figures 4 and 5

As can be seen from Figure 4 there is no significantincrease or decrease in air void amplitude for each case Airvoids of CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMA are all below7 after 10 times of F-T actions Air voids increase withthe increasing of F-T cycles which agrees with the resultobtained by Xu et al [49] Air void of CRSMA increases from426 to 671 after 10 times of F-T cycles compared withthat without F-T effect It increases from 408 to 635 forCRDSMA and 409 to 601 for CRSSMA The reasons liein that F-T cycles can lead to not only expansion of existingvoids but also formation of new voids [49] Furthermoreair voids of CRSMA are generally larger than CRDSMAor CRSSMA while air voids of CRSSMA are the lowestAccording to the result by Song et al [20] diatomite has

larger void and absorption properties than mineral fillerIt can effectively absorb the lower molecular group andlower polar aromatic molecules of asphalt to form thickerasphalt film and anchorage structure around aggregates andcrumb rubber particles which can increase the contact areaand decrease the air voids between aggregates and rubberparticles According to the results of SBS modified asphalt byLarsen et al [23] and Adedeji et al [24] polymer phase and

asphalt phase exist together Polymer globules are dispersedhomogenously in the continuous asphalt phase which forma stable network structure It can strengthen the adhesionbetween aggregate and rubber particle and decrease the airvoids

As shown in Figure 5 Δ1198811198811 are the largest for CRSMAand CRDSMA It reveals that rapid expansion of existingvoids and formation of new voids happen after the firstF-T cycle However change ratio of air void for CRSSMAincreases before 5 times of F-T cycles It is induced by thestrong network structure formed by two twisted continuousphases [22] which delays the growth of air void Changeratios of air voids for CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMA tendto be stable after several times of F-T actions It is because theexpansion of existing voids and formation of new voids cometo steady state

The analysis of variance (ANOVA) is themost commonlyused statistical method to determine the significant effectsof factors [50] ANOVA and F-T tests were conducted todetermine statistically significant process parameters of F-Tcycles on air voids for CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMAANOVA results were listed in Table 8

According to ANOVA results 119865 values of CRSMACRDSMA and CRSSMA are all greater than 119865001 Theprobability is 99 that F-T cycle possesses significant effectson air voids of CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMA Besides 119865value of CRSMA is the largest while 119865 value of CRSSMA isthe smallest The results indicate that F-T cycle presents themost statistically significant effect on air void of CRSMA andlowest one on CRSSMA The additions of SBS and diatomitecan reduce the influence of F-T cycles on air void

42 ITS Results ITS and ΔITS were calculated for CRSMACRDSMA and CRSSMA after F-T cycles 0 1 3 6 10 and15 Three specimens were measured for each case For thesemeasurements mean value and standard deviation (SD) werecalculated respectively Corresponding estimation of verticalerror bar was determined for each case which represents thestandard deviation Results of ITS (Mean plusmn SD) and ΔITS areshown in Figures 6 and 7

As can be seen from Figures 6 and 7 ITS for three differ-ent kinds of asphalt mixtures all decrease with the increasingof F-T cycles and decrease rates become smaller MeanwhileΔITS of CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMA increase with theincreasing of F-T cycles The reasons lie in that repetitive F-T actions increase the air voids which is conducive to waterflow Effect of water frost will cause microcrack formationand propagation in asphalt mixture These kinds of seriousdamage lead to the reduction of ITS With the increasing ofF-T cycles air voids tend to be stable Therefore the frosteffect of water slows down Moreover ITS of CRSSMA is thehighest while ITS of CRSMA is the lowest Slowing trendsfor CRDSMA and CRSSMA are more obvious than CRSMAWith the increasing of F-T cycles ΔITS of CRSSMA is the

smallest while it is the biggest for CRSMAThe reasons lie inthat diatomite has good absorption ability of asphalt whichmakes the adhesion capability of asphalt mortar increase andalso the asphalt film thickness on aggregate surface [20 35]Therefore the cohesion among aggregates is strengthened

and the anti-F-T ability of mixture improves which enhancesthe resistance to internal damage of mixture For SBS itselastomeric phase can absorb the oil fraction of asphalt andswell it A continuous polymer phase forms that can improvethe performances of asphalt [23 24]Thenetwork structure ofSBS modified asphalt is more stable than diatomite modifiedone

43 ITSM Results 119878119898 of CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMAwere tested and corresponding Δ119878119898 were calculated Threespecimens were measured for each case and the mean valuewas regarded as the result Results for 119878119898 and Δ119878119898 are listedin Table 9

As shown in Table 9 119878119898 for CRSMA CRDSMA andCRSSMA decrease with the increasing of F-T cycles Δ119878119898increase with the increasing of F-T cycles The reasons liein that stiffness modulus is used to evaluate the bearingcapacity of mixtures Formation of microcrack under F-Taction changes the internal structure andweakens its integrityof asphalt mixture [49] which reduces the bearing capacityWith the increasing of F-T cycles the influence of internaldamage is more obvious Furthermore CRSSMA possessesthe highest stiffness modulus value while CRSMA has thelowest one It is because diatomite modified asphalt and SBSmodified one have higher cohesion ability than the neat one[23] which can lower the degree of internal damage and alsothe bearing capacity for mixture Similarly network structureof SBS modified asphalt presents superior performance thandiatomite modified one119878119898 and ITS are important characteristics to represent themechanical properties of asphalt mixture Their correlationsneed to be demonstrated which are shown in Figure 8 Itcan be observed that 119878119898 and ITS present favorable linearrelationships It can provide reference for the evaluation ofmechanical properties of mixtures

44 Performance Prediction In practice processes of F-Tair void ITS and ITSM tests are complicated and time-consuming They make the evaluation of mixture propertiesinconvenient Prediction analysis can be used to constructthe relationships between mixture properties and F-T cycleswhich is convenient for performance analysis of mixture Inthis paper predictionmodels of air void and ITS for CRSMACRDSMA and CRSSMA were established based on regres-sion analysis and MGM (1 2) respectively The predictioneffects of two models were compared and analyzed

For CRSMA ΔITS is signed as variable 1199101198621 and air voidis 1199101198622 For CRDSMA ΔITS is signed as variable 1199101198631 and airvoid is 1199101198632 For CRSSMA ΔITS is signed as variable 1199101198781 andair void is1199101198782 Regressionmodels forCRSMACRDSMA andCRSSMA are established based on the results of air voids andΔITS after 0 1 3 6 and 10 times of F-T cyclesThey are shownin Figures 9 and 10

As can be seen from Figures 9 and 10 two order poly-nomials were used to construct the prediction models ofΔITS for CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMA 1198772 values ofthe models for ΔITS were higher than 097 Linear regressionmodels were adopted for the prediction of air void forCRSMA andCRSSMA and two order polynomials were usedto for CRDSMA 1198772 values of the models for air void werehigher than 095 All these models revealed close agreementsbetween experimental results and predicted ones

The prediction results of ΔITS (1199101198621 1199101198631 1199101198781) and airvoid (1199101198622 1199101198632 1199101198782) are calculated by use of the establishedregression models The relative errors are obtained for ΔITS

because diatomite can effectively absorb the lowermolecular group and lower polar aromatic moleculesof asphalt to form thicker asphalt film and anchor-age structure around aggregates and crumb rubberparticles As for the effect of SBS it can also reducethe air void of CRSMA because of the strong networkstructure of SBS modified asphalt CRSSMA presentsthe lowest air voids during the test ANOVA resultsreveal that F-T cycle presents the lowest statisticallysignificant effect on air void of CRSSMA

(2) Indirect tensile strength for three different kinds ofasphalt mixtures all decrease with the increasingof F-T cycles Diatomite and SBS present enhance-ment effects for indirect tensile strength of CRSMAAnchorage structure of diatomite modified asphaltand continuous polymer phase of SBS modifiedasphalt can improve the cohesion among aggregatesand enhances the resistance of mixture to internaldamage Results for change ratio of tensile strengthbefore and after F-T cycles reveal that CRSSMA is thesmallest and CRSMA is the biggest

(3) Indirect tensile stiffness modulus of CRSMACRDSMA and CRSSMA decreases with the increas-ing of F-T cycles Diatomite and SBS can effectivelyimprove the stiffness modulus of CRSMA which isbecause diatomitemodified asphalt and SBSmodifiedone have higher cohesion abilities than the neat one

CRSSMA possesses the highest stiffness modulusvalue Stiffness modulus and indirect tensile strengthpresent favorable linear relationship

(4) The differences between values predicted byMGM (12) model and the values actually tested are smallerthan regression model It indicates that MGM modelpresents more favorable accuracy and can be used forperformance prediction of asphalt mixtures

In summary the network structure of SBS modifiedasphalt is more stable than diatomitemodified one Pavementconstructed using CRSSMA will have the better antifreezingperformance than that usingCRSMAorCRDSMAHoweverthe pavement constructed using CRDSMAwill be a favorablechoice considering its environmental and economic advan-tages It not only presents good antifreezing performance butalso realizes the reuse of waste materials including CR anddiatomite

asphalt and improve rutting deformation resistance How-ever it presents poor stability with the increasing of rubberparticle size Navarro and Gamez [4] presented the effect ofcrumb rubber on bearing capacity and cohesion of asphaltmixture The results show that crumb rubber can increasethe stiffness and stability of mixture while it slightly reducestensile strength De Almeida Junior et al [15] evaluatedthe properties of asphalt modified by rubber and styrenebutadiene styrene (SBS) respectively The findings indicatethat rubber has the potential performance to substitute SBSin pavementmaterials However it does notmeet some of therequirements in standard specifications

Diatomite is a widely used mineral with low cost andconsiderable storage which has high absorptive capacityand stability [16ndash22] It has been widely used for asphaltmodification in China [16ndash21] Mohamed Abdullah et al[17 18] studied the properties of diatomite modified asphaltThe results indicate that there is no chemical reactionbetween asphalt and diatomite Diatomite can improve therutting resistance of asphalt at high temperature The agingresistances of modified asphalt are superior to pure oneCheng et al [19] demonstrated the antiaging properties ofdiatomite modified asphalt The results reveal that diatomiteis helpful for improving the high temperature stability andantiaging property of asphalt Tan et al [21] investigatedthe low temperature property of diatomite modified asphaltThe results show that diatomite particles distribute well inasphalt and diatomite modified mixture possesses better lowtemperature performance than neat one

Currently SBS copolymer is the most widely used modi-fier for asphalt which can absorb the oil fractions and swellthem [23ndash25] It can improve both high and low temperatureperformances of mixture Khodaii and Mehrara [26] con-ducted dynamic creep tests for unmodified and SBSmodifiedasphalt SBS modified mixture possesses lower temperaturesusceptibility and higher compactibility Sun et al [27] foundthat reactive blending of SBS and asphalt can improve thehot storage stability rheological properties elasticity anddeformation resistance of modified asphalt The limitationsfor SBS modified asphalt lie in its lower workability higherproduction cost and being easy to aging [28 29] Thereforeit is crucial to have some other waste materials to partiallysubstitute for SBS in modified asphalt CR can reduce thecost and possess favorable performances which is a favorablesubstitute In order to meet the requirements of high graderoad pavement modified asphalt with better performancescan be prepared using CR and SBS composite modifierDong et al [30] investigated the rheological behavior ofSBSCR composite modified asphalt The results reveal thatthe addition of CR and SBS can effectively improve theviscoelastic property and temperature sensitivity of asphalt

In addition freeze-thaw (F-T) cycle is an important factorto influence the performances of road pavement in seasonalfrozen regions which cover 535 of Chinarsquos land area Roadpavement in this region is exposed to at least one F-T cycleeach year [31] CR has beenwidely used in concrete to provideF-T protection [32] Meanwhile Zhang et al [33] foundthat rubber modified asphalt mixture has better antifreezingperformance than the neat one Current research results

Grey theory was proposed by Deng in 1982 [34] whichhad been widely used in many fields for factor analysisand forecasting Grey relational analysis (GRA) was widelyused to evaluate the influential degrees of factors [35 36]Grey model is another important aspect in grey theorywhich can achieve high prediction accuracy for uncertainsystems It can realize the prediction of system behavior usingfewer data and less complicated mathematical calculation[37] Ren et al [38] predicted the long-term cumulativeplastic deformation of subgrade under cyclic loads using greymodel Wang and Li [39] adopted grey model for pavementsmoothness prediction Grey model was also used for thepredictions in environmental vulnerability assessment [40]natural disasters [41] and road traffic [42] and so forth GM(1 1) (Grey Model First-Order One Variable) is one of themost widely used grey models in practical application [43]However the limitation existing in traditionalGM(1 1) is thatit needs equal interval for time series data It cannot be usedfor time series data with nonequal interval [44]

As discussed above reuse of CR and diatomite possessesfavorable economic and environmental benefits Further-more F-T action has significant effect on the properties ofasphalt pavement in seasonal frozen regions It will reducethe pavement life severelyThe compoundmodified effects ofCR and diatomite CR and SBS on asphalt mixture under F-T actions are still unknown In order to improve the freezingresistance of asphalt pavement crumb rubber modifiedstone mastic asphalt (CRSMA) crumb rubber and diatomitemodified stonemastic asphalt (CRDSMA) and crumb rubberand SBS modified stone mastic asphalt (CRSSMA) wereprepared respectively Effects of F-T cycles on three differentkinds of asphalt mixtures were tested and evaluated usingair voids indirect tensile strength (ITS) test and indirecttensile stiffness modulus (ITSM) test Meanwhile predictionanalysis was used to construct the relationships betweenproperties and F-T cycles in order to improve the conveniencefor performance analysis of mixture Modified grey modelMGM (1 2) was applied for prediction of air void and ITS

22 Asphalt Mixture Stone mastic asphalt (SMA) was devel-oped in Germany during the 1960s It has been used as thepremium pavement surfacing course for heavy-duty pave-ments high-speed motorways and highways in AmericaEurope China and several other countries due to its excellentrutting resistance fatigue resistance durability and lowernoise characteristics comparedwith dense graded asphalt [4546] In this research SMA-13 gradation was designed basedon the Course Aggregate Void Filling (CAVF) method [47]The designed gradation was shown in Figure 1 Accordingto previous research results the diatomite content 15 byweight of asphalt and crumb rubber content 3 by weight ofaggregate were adopted [15] Optimum asphalt contents weredetermined by Marshall method They are 63 65 and66 for CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMA respectively

In order to make crumb rubber and diatomite dispersehomogeneous in the mixture the preparation process wasoptimized The designed preparation process for CRSMAwas shown in Figure 2 Similar to the process in Figure 2CRDSMA would be produced if filler was replaced withfiller and diatomite CRSSMA was obtained if neat asphaltwas replaced with SBS modified asphalt Detailed steps wereexplained as follows

Step 1 Crumb rubber and aggregate were heated for 4 h at180∘C respectivelyThey were blended together using mixingpot (BH-10 Beijing Zhonghangkegong Instrument Co LtdChina)The blending temperature is 165∘C speed is 80 rminand time is 90 sThis step is identical for CRSMA CRDSMAand CRSSMA

Step 2 Asphalt was heated to 165∘C and added to themixtureof crumb rubber and aggregate They were blended togetherat 165∘C for 90 s using mixing pot The mixing speed is alsoset to be 80 rmin In this step neat asphalt was used forCRSMA andCRDSMA while it was SBSmodified asphalt forCRSSMA

(3) The samples were removed from plastic bags andplaced into water tank for 8 h with constant tempera-ture 60∘C until all the water was melted

After (1) (2) and (3) one F-T cycle was completed Inthis study the number of F-T cycles was 15 for ITS test and10 for air void and ITSM tests After F-T cycles the sampleswere removed from plastic bags and placed into water tankfor 24 h with constant temperature 60∘CThen they were putinto water tank for 2 h with constant temperature 25∘C andsample spacing was bigger than 10mm The treated sampleswere used for air void ITS and ITSM tests

32 Air Void Test In this paper air voids for sampleswere tested by surface-dry condition method accordingto standard AASHTO T-166 [48] Firstly Marshall speci-mens (101mm diameter and 635mm height) were preparedthrough compaction method with 75 blows on each sideof cylindrical samples Secondly masses for samples in drywater and surface-dry conditions were measured respec-tively Bulk specific gravity for samples can be calculated by

120574119891 = 119898119886(119898119891 minus 119898119908) (1)

where 119898119886 119898119908 and 119898119891 are masses of sample in dry waterand surface-dry conditions respectivelyThen the theoreticalmaximum specific gravity (120574119905) of samples was tested throughvacuum sealing method Finally air voids of samples can beobtained by

119881119881 = (1 minus 120574119891120574119905 ) times 100 (2)

Change ratio of air void was calculated by

where119881119881119894 is the air void of mixture after 119894 times of F-T cycles119894 = 1 2 1033 Indirect Tensile Strength (ITS) Test ITS test is an effec-tive measure to evaluate the anticracking ability of asphaltmixture under low temperature [4 21] In this research thetest was carried out according to standard AASHTO T-283at temperature of minus10∘C [48] It is performed using a mate-rial testing machine (MQS-2) produced by Nanjing NingxiInstrument Co Ltd Jiangsu Province China Loading ratewas 1mmmin Marshall specimens (101mm diameter and635mm height) were placed in the chamber at minus10∘C for 6 hbefore testsThe failure loadswere recorded at the end of testsITS can be calculated by

ITS = (2119875)(120587119863119905) (4)

where ITS is the tensile strength of specimen 119875 is the failureload 119863 is the diameter of specimen 119905 is the height ofspecimen

In order to evaluate the F-T resistance ability of CRSMACRDSMA andCRSSMA change ratio of ITS before and afterF-T cycles is given by

34 Indirect Tensile StiffnessModulus (ITSM) Test In order toinvestigate the bearing capacity of asphalt mixture ITSM testwas performed according to standard AASHTO TP-31 [48]ITSM test was widely used to analyze the tensile propertiesof mixture which can be further related to the crackingperformance of pavement In this research a multifunctionaltesting machine (NU-14) was used which was producedby Cooper Research Technology Ltd United Kingdom Inorder to investigate the antifreezing performance of modifiedasphalt mixtures the tests were conducted at 5∘C and Mar-shall specimens (101mm diameter and 635mm height) wereadopted The specimens were placed in the chamber at thetest temperature for 6 h before tests The schematic diagram[4] for load pulse was shown in Figure 3 Rise time was124ms and duration period was 30 s The target deformationin horizontal direction was 5 120583mThe peak load was adjustedaccording to the test value of target deformation during thetest The stiffness modulus can be obtained by

119878119898 = 119865 sdot (120583 + 027)ℎ sdot 119885 (6)

where 119878119898 is the stiffness modulus MPa 119865 is the peak loadN 120583 is Poisson ratio which is 025 at 5∘C ℎ is the height ofspecimen mm 119885 is the measured deformation in horizontaldirection mm

Change ratio of 119878119898 before and after F-T cycles wascalculated by

Δ119878119898119894 = (119878119861119898 minus 119878119860119898119894)119878119861119898 times 100 (7)

where Δ119878119898119894 is the change ratio of stiffness modulus after 119894times of F-T cycles 119878119861119898 is stiffnessmoduluswithout F-T cyclesand 119878119860119898119894 is stiffness modulus after 119894 times of F-T cycles

4 Results and Discussion

41 Air Voids Air void is an important characteristic ofinternal structure that affects the moisture damage of asphaltmixture Air voids of CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMAunder 0 1 2 10 times of F-T cycles were tested respec-tively Corresponding Δ119881119881119894 (119894 = 1 2 10) were calculatedThree specimens were measured for each case For thesemeasurements mean value and standard deviation (SD) werecalculated respectively Corresponding estimation of verticalerror bar was determined for each case which represents thestandard deviation Results of air voids (Mean plusmn SD) andΔ119881119881 for CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMA before and afterF-T cycles are shown in Figures 4 and 5

As can be seen from Figure 4 there is no significantincrease or decrease in air void amplitude for each case Airvoids of CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMA are all below7 after 10 times of F-T actions Air voids increase withthe increasing of F-T cycles which agrees with the resultobtained by Xu et al [49] Air void of CRSMA increases from426 to 671 after 10 times of F-T cycles compared withthat without F-T effect It increases from 408 to 635 forCRDSMA and 409 to 601 for CRSSMA The reasons liein that F-T cycles can lead to not only expansion of existingvoids but also formation of new voids [49] Furthermoreair voids of CRSMA are generally larger than CRDSMAor CRSSMA while air voids of CRSSMA are the lowestAccording to the result by Song et al [20] diatomite has

larger void and absorption properties than mineral fillerIt can effectively absorb the lower molecular group andlower polar aromatic molecules of asphalt to form thickerasphalt film and anchorage structure around aggregates andcrumb rubber particles which can increase the contact areaand decrease the air voids between aggregates and rubberparticles According to the results of SBS modified asphalt byLarsen et al [23] and Adedeji et al [24] polymer phase and

asphalt phase exist together Polymer globules are dispersedhomogenously in the continuous asphalt phase which forma stable network structure It can strengthen the adhesionbetween aggregate and rubber particle and decrease the airvoids

As shown in Figure 5 Δ1198811198811 are the largest for CRSMAand CRDSMA It reveals that rapid expansion of existingvoids and formation of new voids happen after the firstF-T cycle However change ratio of air void for CRSSMAincreases before 5 times of F-T cycles It is induced by thestrong network structure formed by two twisted continuousphases [22] which delays the growth of air void Changeratios of air voids for CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMA tendto be stable after several times of F-T actions It is because theexpansion of existing voids and formation of new voids cometo steady state

The analysis of variance (ANOVA) is themost commonlyused statistical method to determine the significant effectsof factors [50] ANOVA and F-T tests were conducted todetermine statistically significant process parameters of F-Tcycles on air voids for CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMAANOVA results were listed in Table 8

According to ANOVA results 119865 values of CRSMACRDSMA and CRSSMA are all greater than 119865001 Theprobability is 99 that F-T cycle possesses significant effectson air voids of CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMA Besides 119865value of CRSMA is the largest while 119865 value of CRSSMA isthe smallest The results indicate that F-T cycle presents themost statistically significant effect on air void of CRSMA andlowest one on CRSSMA The additions of SBS and diatomitecan reduce the influence of F-T cycles on air void

42 ITS Results ITS and ΔITS were calculated for CRSMACRDSMA and CRSSMA after F-T cycles 0 1 3 6 10 and15 Three specimens were measured for each case For thesemeasurements mean value and standard deviation (SD) werecalculated respectively Corresponding estimation of verticalerror bar was determined for each case which represents thestandard deviation Results of ITS (Mean plusmn SD) and ΔITS areshown in Figures 6 and 7

As can be seen from Figures 6 and 7 ITS for three differ-ent kinds of asphalt mixtures all decrease with the increasingof F-T cycles and decrease rates become smaller MeanwhileΔITS of CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMA increase with theincreasing of F-T cycles The reasons lie in that repetitive F-T actions increase the air voids which is conducive to waterflow Effect of water frost will cause microcrack formationand propagation in asphalt mixture These kinds of seriousdamage lead to the reduction of ITS With the increasing ofF-T cycles air voids tend to be stable Therefore the frosteffect of water slows down Moreover ITS of CRSSMA is thehighest while ITS of CRSMA is the lowest Slowing trendsfor CRDSMA and CRSSMA are more obvious than CRSMAWith the increasing of F-T cycles ΔITS of CRSSMA is the

smallest while it is the biggest for CRSMAThe reasons lie inthat diatomite has good absorption ability of asphalt whichmakes the adhesion capability of asphalt mortar increase andalso the asphalt film thickness on aggregate surface [20 35]Therefore the cohesion among aggregates is strengthened

and the anti-F-T ability of mixture improves which enhancesthe resistance to internal damage of mixture For SBS itselastomeric phase can absorb the oil fraction of asphalt andswell it A continuous polymer phase forms that can improvethe performances of asphalt [23 24]Thenetwork structure ofSBS modified asphalt is more stable than diatomite modifiedone

43 ITSM Results 119878119898 of CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMAwere tested and corresponding Δ119878119898 were calculated Threespecimens were measured for each case and the mean valuewas regarded as the result Results for 119878119898 and Δ119878119898 are listedin Table 9

As shown in Table 9 119878119898 for CRSMA CRDSMA andCRSSMA decrease with the increasing of F-T cycles Δ119878119898increase with the increasing of F-T cycles The reasons liein that stiffness modulus is used to evaluate the bearingcapacity of mixtures Formation of microcrack under F-Taction changes the internal structure andweakens its integrityof asphalt mixture [49] which reduces the bearing capacityWith the increasing of F-T cycles the influence of internaldamage is more obvious Furthermore CRSSMA possessesthe highest stiffness modulus value while CRSMA has thelowest one It is because diatomite modified asphalt and SBSmodified one have higher cohesion ability than the neat one[23] which can lower the degree of internal damage and alsothe bearing capacity for mixture Similarly network structureof SBS modified asphalt presents superior performance thandiatomite modified one119878119898 and ITS are important characteristics to represent themechanical properties of asphalt mixture Their correlationsneed to be demonstrated which are shown in Figure 8 Itcan be observed that 119878119898 and ITS present favorable linearrelationships It can provide reference for the evaluation ofmechanical properties of mixtures

44 Performance Prediction In practice processes of F-Tair void ITS and ITSM tests are complicated and time-consuming They make the evaluation of mixture propertiesinconvenient Prediction analysis can be used to constructthe relationships between mixture properties and F-T cycleswhich is convenient for performance analysis of mixture Inthis paper predictionmodels of air void and ITS for CRSMACRDSMA and CRSSMA were established based on regres-sion analysis and MGM (1 2) respectively The predictioneffects of two models were compared and analyzed

prediction in many fields from decades [51ndash53] Regressionanalysis consists of fitting a function to the data to discoverhow one or more variables (dependent variable) vary as afunction of another (independent variable) In this studyindependent variable is F-T cycles dependent variables areair void and ΔITS respectively

For CRSMA ΔITS is signed as variable 1199101198621 and air voidis 1199101198622 For CRDSMA ΔITS is signed as variable 1199101198631 and airvoid is 1199101198632 For CRSSMA ΔITS is signed as variable 1199101198781 andair void is1199101198782 Regressionmodels forCRSMACRDSMA andCRSSMA are established based on the results of air voids andΔITS after 0 1 3 6 and 10 times of F-T cyclesThey are shownin Figures 9 and 10

As can be seen from Figures 9 and 10 two order poly-nomials were used to construct the prediction models ofΔITS for CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMA 1198772 values ofthe models for ΔITS were higher than 097 Linear regressionmodels were adopted for the prediction of air void forCRSMA andCRSSMA and two order polynomials were usedto for CRDSMA 1198772 values of the models for air void werehigher than 095 All these models revealed close agreementsbetween experimental results and predicted ones

The prediction results of ΔITS (1199101198621 1199101198631 1199101198781) and airvoid (1199101198622 1199101198632 1199101198782) are calculated by use of the establishedregression models The relative errors are obtained for ΔITS

For CRSSMA ΔITS is signed as variable119883(0)1198781 and air voidis 119883(0)1198782 The prediction results of ΔITS (119883(0)1198781 ) and air void(119883(0)1198782 ) are calculated by use of the established MGM (1 2)model The relative errors and RMSE are calculated for ΔITSand air void after 15 times of F-T cyclesThe prediction resultsof MGM (1 2) model are listed in Table 15

5 Conclusions

Reuse of waste materials is conducive to the protection ofnatural resources and environment In this paper CR anddiatomite were recycled to modify SMA CR diatomite andSBS were used to prepare CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMAF-T effects on thesemixtures were investigatedThe followingconclusions can be obtained

(1) Air voids of CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMA allincrease with the increasing of F-T cycles The addi-tion of diatomite into CRSMA can reduce its air void

because diatomite can effectively absorb the lowermolecular group and lower polar aromatic moleculesof asphalt to form thicker asphalt film and anchor-age structure around aggregates and crumb rubberparticles As for the effect of SBS it can also reducethe air void of CRSMA because of the strong networkstructure of SBS modified asphalt CRSSMA presentsthe lowest air voids during the test ANOVA resultsreveal that F-T cycle presents the lowest statisticallysignificant effect on air void of CRSSMA

(2) Indirect tensile strength for three different kinds ofasphalt mixtures all decrease with the increasingof F-T cycles Diatomite and SBS present enhance-ment effects for indirect tensile strength of CRSMAAnchorage structure of diatomite modified asphaltand continuous polymer phase of SBS modifiedasphalt can improve the cohesion among aggregatesand enhances the resistance of mixture to internaldamage Results for change ratio of tensile strengthbefore and after F-T cycles reveal that CRSSMA is thesmallest and CRSMA is the biggest

(3) Indirect tensile stiffness modulus of CRSMACRDSMA and CRSSMA decreases with the increas-ing of F-T cycles Diatomite and SBS can effectivelyimprove the stiffness modulus of CRSMA which isbecause diatomitemodified asphalt and SBSmodifiedone have higher cohesion abilities than the neat one

CRSSMA possesses the highest stiffness modulusvalue Stiffness modulus and indirect tensile strengthpresent favorable linear relationship

(4) The differences between values predicted byMGM (12) model and the values actually tested are smallerthan regression model It indicates that MGM modelpresents more favorable accuracy and can be used forperformance prediction of asphalt mixtures

In summary the network structure of SBS modifiedasphalt is more stable than diatomitemodified one Pavementconstructed using CRSSMA will have the better antifreezingperformance than that usingCRSMAorCRDSMAHoweverthe pavement constructed using CRDSMAwill be a favorablechoice considering its environmental and economic advan-tages It not only presents good antifreezing performance butalso realizes the reuse of waste materials including CR anddiatomite

22 Asphalt Mixture Stone mastic asphalt (SMA) was devel-oped in Germany during the 1960s It has been used as thepremium pavement surfacing course for heavy-duty pave-ments high-speed motorways and highways in AmericaEurope China and several other countries due to its excellentrutting resistance fatigue resistance durability and lowernoise characteristics comparedwith dense graded asphalt [4546] In this research SMA-13 gradation was designed basedon the Course Aggregate Void Filling (CAVF) method [47]The designed gradation was shown in Figure 1 Accordingto previous research results the diatomite content 15 byweight of asphalt and crumb rubber content 3 by weight ofaggregate were adopted [15] Optimum asphalt contents weredetermined by Marshall method They are 63 65 and66 for CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMA respectively

In order to make crumb rubber and diatomite dispersehomogeneous in the mixture the preparation process wasoptimized The designed preparation process for CRSMAwas shown in Figure 2 Similar to the process in Figure 2CRDSMA would be produced if filler was replaced withfiller and diatomite CRSSMA was obtained if neat asphaltwas replaced with SBS modified asphalt Detailed steps wereexplained as follows

Step 1 Crumb rubber and aggregate were heated for 4 h at180∘C respectivelyThey were blended together using mixingpot (BH-10 Beijing Zhonghangkegong Instrument Co LtdChina)The blending temperature is 165∘C speed is 80 rminand time is 90 sThis step is identical for CRSMA CRDSMAand CRSSMA

Step 2 Asphalt was heated to 165∘C and added to themixtureof crumb rubber and aggregate They were blended togetherat 165∘C for 90 s using mixing pot The mixing speed is alsoset to be 80 rmin In this step neat asphalt was used forCRSMA andCRDSMA while it was SBSmodified asphalt forCRSSMA

(3) The samples were removed from plastic bags andplaced into water tank for 8 h with constant tempera-ture 60∘C until all the water was melted

After (1) (2) and (3) one F-T cycle was completed Inthis study the number of F-T cycles was 15 for ITS test and10 for air void and ITSM tests After F-T cycles the sampleswere removed from plastic bags and placed into water tankfor 24 h with constant temperature 60∘CThen they were putinto water tank for 2 h with constant temperature 25∘C andsample spacing was bigger than 10mm The treated sampleswere used for air void ITS and ITSM tests

32 Air Void Test In this paper air voids for sampleswere tested by surface-dry condition method accordingto standard AASHTO T-166 [48] Firstly Marshall speci-mens (101mm diameter and 635mm height) were preparedthrough compaction method with 75 blows on each sideof cylindrical samples Secondly masses for samples in drywater and surface-dry conditions were measured respec-tively Bulk specific gravity for samples can be calculated by

120574119891 = 119898119886(119898119891 minus 119898119908) (1)

where 119898119886 119898119908 and 119898119891 are masses of sample in dry waterand surface-dry conditions respectivelyThen the theoreticalmaximum specific gravity (120574119905) of samples was tested throughvacuum sealing method Finally air voids of samples can beobtained by

119881119881 = (1 minus 120574119891120574119905 ) times 100 (2)

Change ratio of air void was calculated by

Δ119881119881119894 = (119881119881119894 minus 119881119881119894minus1)119881119881119894 times 100 (3)

where119881119881119894 is the air void of mixture after 119894 times of F-T cycles119894 = 1 2 1033 Indirect Tensile Strength (ITS) Test ITS test is an effec-tive measure to evaluate the anticracking ability of asphaltmixture under low temperature [4 21] In this research thetest was carried out according to standard AASHTO T-283at temperature of minus10∘C [48] It is performed using a mate-rial testing machine (MQS-2) produced by Nanjing NingxiInstrument Co Ltd Jiangsu Province China Loading ratewas 1mmmin Marshall specimens (101mm diameter and635mm height) were placed in the chamber at minus10∘C for 6 hbefore testsThe failure loadswere recorded at the end of testsITS can be calculated by

ITS = (2119875)(120587119863119905) (4)

where ITS is the tensile strength of specimen 119875 is the failureload 119863 is the diameter of specimen 119905 is the height ofspecimen

In order to evaluate the F-T resistance ability of CRSMACRDSMA andCRSSMA change ratio of ITS before and afterF-T cycles is given by

ΔITS119894 = (ITS119861 minus ITS119860119894 )ITS119861

119878119898 = 119865 sdot (120583 + 027)ℎ sdot 119885 (6)

where 119878119898 is the stiffness modulus MPa 119865 is the peak loadN 120583 is Poisson ratio which is 025 at 5∘C ℎ is the height ofspecimen mm 119885 is the measured deformation in horizontaldirection mm

Change ratio of 119878119898 before and after F-T cycles wascalculated by

Δ119878119898119894 = (119878119861119898 minus 119878119860119898119894)119878119861119898 times 100 (7)

As can be seen from Figure 4 there is no significantincrease or decrease in air void amplitude for each case Airvoids of CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMA are all below7 after 10 times of F-T actions Air voids increase withthe increasing of F-T cycles which agrees with the resultobtained by Xu et al [49] Air void of CRSMA increases from426 to 671 after 10 times of F-T cycles compared withthat without F-T effect It increases from 408 to 635 forCRDSMA and 409 to 601 for CRSSMA The reasons liein that F-T cycles can lead to not only expansion of existingvoids but also formation of new voids [49] Furthermoreair voids of CRSMA are generally larger than CRDSMAor CRSSMA while air voids of CRSSMA are the lowestAccording to the result by Song et al [20] diatomite has

larger void and absorption properties than mineral fillerIt can effectively absorb the lower molecular group andlower polar aromatic molecules of asphalt to form thickerasphalt film and anchorage structure around aggregates andcrumb rubber particles which can increase the contact areaand decrease the air voids between aggregates and rubberparticles According to the results of SBS modified asphalt byLarsen et al [23] and Adedeji et al [24] polymer phase and

asphalt phase exist together Polymer globules are dispersedhomogenously in the continuous asphalt phase which forma stable network structure It can strengthen the adhesionbetween aggregate and rubber particle and decrease the airvoids

As shown in Figure 5 Δ1198811198811 are the largest for CRSMAand CRDSMA It reveals that rapid expansion of existingvoids and formation of new voids happen after the firstF-T cycle However change ratio of air void for CRSSMAincreases before 5 times of F-T cycles It is induced by thestrong network structure formed by two twisted continuousphases [22] which delays the growth of air void Changeratios of air voids for CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMA tendto be stable after several times of F-T actions It is because theexpansion of existing voids and formation of new voids cometo steady state

The analysis of variance (ANOVA) is themost commonlyused statistical method to determine the significant effectsof factors [50] ANOVA and F-T tests were conducted todetermine statistically significant process parameters of F-Tcycles on air voids for CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMAANOVA results were listed in Table 8

According to ANOVA results 119865 values of CRSMACRDSMA and CRSSMA are all greater than 119865001 Theprobability is 99 that F-T cycle possesses significant effectson air voids of CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMA Besides 119865value of CRSMA is the largest while 119865 value of CRSSMA isthe smallest The results indicate that F-T cycle presents themost statistically significant effect on air void of CRSMA andlowest one on CRSSMA The additions of SBS and diatomitecan reduce the influence of F-T cycles on air void

42 ITS Results ITS and ΔITS were calculated for CRSMACRDSMA and CRSSMA after F-T cycles 0 1 3 6 10 and15 Three specimens were measured for each case For thesemeasurements mean value and standard deviation (SD) werecalculated respectively Corresponding estimation of verticalerror bar was determined for each case which represents thestandard deviation Results of ITS (Mean plusmn SD) and ΔITS areshown in Figures 6 and 7

As can be seen from Figures 6 and 7 ITS for three differ-ent kinds of asphalt mixtures all decrease with the increasingof F-T cycles and decrease rates become smaller MeanwhileΔITS of CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMA increase with theincreasing of F-T cycles The reasons lie in that repetitive F-T actions increase the air voids which is conducive to waterflow Effect of water frost will cause microcrack formationand propagation in asphalt mixture These kinds of seriousdamage lead to the reduction of ITS With the increasing ofF-T cycles air voids tend to be stable Therefore the frosteffect of water slows down Moreover ITS of CRSSMA is thehighest while ITS of CRSMA is the lowest Slowing trendsfor CRDSMA and CRSSMA are more obvious than CRSMAWith the increasing of F-T cycles ΔITS of CRSSMA is the

smallest while it is the biggest for CRSMAThe reasons lie inthat diatomite has good absorption ability of asphalt whichmakes the adhesion capability of asphalt mortar increase andalso the asphalt film thickness on aggregate surface [20 35]Therefore the cohesion among aggregates is strengthened

and the anti-F-T ability of mixture improves which enhancesthe resistance to internal damage of mixture For SBS itselastomeric phase can absorb the oil fraction of asphalt andswell it A continuous polymer phase forms that can improvethe performances of asphalt [23 24]Thenetwork structure ofSBS modified asphalt is more stable than diatomite modifiedone

43 ITSM Results 119878119898 of CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMAwere tested and corresponding Δ119878119898 were calculated Threespecimens were measured for each case and the mean valuewas regarded as the result Results for 119878119898 and Δ119878119898 are listedin Table 9

As shown in Table 9 119878119898 for CRSMA CRDSMA andCRSSMA decrease with the increasing of F-T cycles Δ119878119898increase with the increasing of F-T cycles The reasons liein that stiffness modulus is used to evaluate the bearingcapacity of mixtures Formation of microcrack under F-Taction changes the internal structure andweakens its integrityof asphalt mixture [49] which reduces the bearing capacityWith the increasing of F-T cycles the influence of internaldamage is more obvious Furthermore CRSSMA possessesthe highest stiffness modulus value while CRSMA has thelowest one It is because diatomite modified asphalt and SBSmodified one have higher cohesion ability than the neat one[23] which can lower the degree of internal damage and alsothe bearing capacity for mixture Similarly network structureof SBS modified asphalt presents superior performance thandiatomite modified one119878119898 and ITS are important characteristics to represent themechanical properties of asphalt mixture Their correlationsneed to be demonstrated which are shown in Figure 8 Itcan be observed that 119878119898 and ITS present favorable linearrelationships It can provide reference for the evaluation ofmechanical properties of mixtures

44 Performance Prediction In practice processes of F-Tair void ITS and ITSM tests are complicated and time-consuming They make the evaluation of mixture propertiesinconvenient Prediction analysis can be used to constructthe relationships between mixture properties and F-T cycleswhich is convenient for performance analysis of mixture Inthis paper predictionmodels of air void and ITS for CRSMACRDSMA and CRSSMA were established based on regres-sion analysis and MGM (1 2) respectively The predictioneffects of two models were compared and analyzed

prediction in many fields from decades [51ndash53] Regressionanalysis consists of fitting a function to the data to discoverhow one or more variables (dependent variable) vary as afunction of another (independent variable) In this studyindependent variable is F-T cycles dependent variables areair void and ΔITS respectively

For CRSMA ΔITS is signed as variable 1199101198621 and air voidis 1199101198622 For CRDSMA ΔITS is signed as variable 1199101198631 and airvoid is 1199101198632 For CRSSMA ΔITS is signed as variable 1199101198781 andair void is1199101198782 Regressionmodels forCRSMACRDSMA andCRSSMA are established based on the results of air voids andΔITS after 0 1 3 6 and 10 times of F-T cyclesThey are shownin Figures 9 and 10

As can be seen from Figures 9 and 10 two order poly-nomials were used to construct the prediction models ofΔITS for CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMA 1198772 values ofthe models for ΔITS were higher than 097 Linear regressionmodels were adopted for the prediction of air void forCRSMA andCRSSMA and two order polynomials were usedto for CRDSMA 1198772 values of the models for air void werehigher than 095 All these models revealed close agreementsbetween experimental results and predicted ones

The prediction results of ΔITS (1199101198621 1199101198631 1199101198781) and airvoid (1199101198622 1199101198632 1199101198782) are calculated by use of the establishedregression models The relative errors are obtained for ΔITS

because diatomite can effectively absorb the lowermolecular group and lower polar aromatic moleculesof asphalt to form thicker asphalt film and anchor-age structure around aggregates and crumb rubberparticles As for the effect of SBS it can also reducethe air void of CRSMA because of the strong networkstructure of SBS modified asphalt CRSSMA presentsthe lowest air voids during the test ANOVA resultsreveal that F-T cycle presents the lowest statisticallysignificant effect on air void of CRSSMA

(2) Indirect tensile strength for three different kinds ofasphalt mixtures all decrease with the increasingof F-T cycles Diatomite and SBS present enhance-ment effects for indirect tensile strength of CRSMAAnchorage structure of diatomite modified asphaltand continuous polymer phase of SBS modifiedasphalt can improve the cohesion among aggregatesand enhances the resistance of mixture to internaldamage Results for change ratio of tensile strengthbefore and after F-T cycles reveal that CRSSMA is thesmallest and CRSMA is the biggest

(3) Indirect tensile stiffness modulus of CRSMACRDSMA and CRSSMA decreases with the increas-ing of F-T cycles Diatomite and SBS can effectivelyimprove the stiffness modulus of CRSMA which isbecause diatomitemodified asphalt and SBSmodifiedone have higher cohesion abilities than the neat one

CRSSMA possesses the highest stiffness modulusvalue Stiffness modulus and indirect tensile strengthpresent favorable linear relationship

(4) The differences between values predicted byMGM (12) model and the values actually tested are smallerthan regression model It indicates that MGM modelpresents more favorable accuracy and can be used forperformance prediction of asphalt mixtures

In summary the network structure of SBS modifiedasphalt is more stable than diatomitemodified one Pavementconstructed using CRSSMA will have the better antifreezingperformance than that usingCRSMAorCRDSMAHoweverthe pavement constructed using CRDSMAwill be a favorablechoice considering its environmental and economic advan-tages It not only presents good antifreezing performance butalso realizes the reuse of waste materials including CR anddiatomite

(3) The samples were removed from plastic bags andplaced into water tank for 8 h with constant tempera-ture 60∘C until all the water was melted

After (1) (2) and (3) one F-T cycle was completed Inthis study the number of F-T cycles was 15 for ITS test and10 for air void and ITSM tests After F-T cycles the sampleswere removed from plastic bags and placed into water tankfor 24 h with constant temperature 60∘CThen they were putinto water tank for 2 h with constant temperature 25∘C andsample spacing was bigger than 10mm The treated sampleswere used for air void ITS and ITSM tests

32 Air Void Test In this paper air voids for sampleswere tested by surface-dry condition method accordingto standard AASHTO T-166 [48] Firstly Marshall speci-mens (101mm diameter and 635mm height) were preparedthrough compaction method with 75 blows on each sideof cylindrical samples Secondly masses for samples in drywater and surface-dry conditions were measured respec-tively Bulk specific gravity for samples can be calculated by

120574119891 = 119898119886(119898119891 minus 119898119908) (1)

where 119898119886 119898119908 and 119898119891 are masses of sample in dry waterand surface-dry conditions respectivelyThen the theoreticalmaximum specific gravity (120574119905) of samples was tested throughvacuum sealing method Finally air voids of samples can beobtained by

119881119881 = (1 minus 120574119891120574119905 ) times 100 (2)

Change ratio of air void was calculated by

where119881119881119894 is the air void of mixture after 119894 times of F-T cycles119894 = 1 2 1033 Indirect Tensile Strength (ITS) Test ITS test is an effec-tive measure to evaluate the anticracking ability of asphaltmixture under low temperature [4 21] In this research thetest was carried out according to standard AASHTO T-283at temperature of minus10∘C [48] It is performed using a mate-rial testing machine (MQS-2) produced by Nanjing NingxiInstrument Co Ltd Jiangsu Province China Loading ratewas 1mmmin Marshall specimens (101mm diameter and635mm height) were placed in the chamber at minus10∘C for 6 hbefore testsThe failure loadswere recorded at the end of testsITS can be calculated by

ITS = (2119875)(120587119863119905) (4)

where ITS is the tensile strength of specimen 119875 is the failureload 119863 is the diameter of specimen 119905 is the height ofspecimen

In order to evaluate the F-T resistance ability of CRSMACRDSMA andCRSSMA change ratio of ITS before and afterF-T cycles is given by

34 Indirect Tensile StiffnessModulus (ITSM) Test In order toinvestigate the bearing capacity of asphalt mixture ITSM testwas performed according to standard AASHTO TP-31 [48]ITSM test was widely used to analyze the tensile propertiesof mixture which can be further related to the crackingperformance of pavement In this research a multifunctionaltesting machine (NU-14) was used which was producedby Cooper Research Technology Ltd United Kingdom Inorder to investigate the antifreezing performance of modifiedasphalt mixtures the tests were conducted at 5∘C and Mar-shall specimens (101mm diameter and 635mm height) wereadopted The specimens were placed in the chamber at thetest temperature for 6 h before tests The schematic diagram[4] for load pulse was shown in Figure 3 Rise time was124ms and duration period was 30 s The target deformationin horizontal direction was 5 120583mThe peak load was adjustedaccording to the test value of target deformation during thetest The stiffness modulus can be obtained by

119878119898 = 119865 sdot (120583 + 027)ℎ sdot 119885 (6)

where 119878119898 is the stiffness modulus MPa 119865 is the peak loadN 120583 is Poisson ratio which is 025 at 5∘C ℎ is the height ofspecimen mm 119885 is the measured deformation in horizontaldirection mm

Change ratio of 119878119898 before and after F-T cycles wascalculated by

Δ119878119898119894 = (119878119861119898 minus 119878119860119898119894)119878119861119898 times 100 (7)

where Δ119878119898119894 is the change ratio of stiffness modulus after 119894times of F-T cycles 119878119861119898 is stiffnessmoduluswithout F-T cyclesand 119878119860119898119894 is stiffness modulus after 119894 times of F-T cycles

35 Modified Grey Method MGM (1 119898) Traditional GM(1 1) can realize prediction of time series data with equalinterval It cannot be used for time series data with nonequalinterval In this research time series data is the numberof F-T cycles which is 0 1 3 6 10 and 15 with nonequalintervalsTherefore the modified grey model (MGM) is usedto construct the prediction model of air void and ΔITSThe prediction procedure usingMGM (1 119898) (Modified Grey

4 Results and Discussion

41 Air Voids Air void is an important characteristic ofinternal structure that affects the moisture damage of asphaltmixture Air voids of CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMAunder 0 1 2 10 times of F-T cycles were tested respec-tively Corresponding Δ119881119881119894 (119894 = 1 2 10) were calculatedThree specimens were measured for each case For thesemeasurements mean value and standard deviation (SD) werecalculated respectively Corresponding estimation of verticalerror bar was determined for each case which represents thestandard deviation Results of air voids (Mean plusmn SD) andΔ119881119881 for CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMA before and afterF-T cycles are shown in Figures 4 and 5

As can be seen from Figure 4 there is no significantincrease or decrease in air void amplitude for each case Airvoids of CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMA are all below7 after 10 times of F-T actions Air voids increase withthe increasing of F-T cycles which agrees with the resultobtained by Xu et al [49] Air void of CRSMA increases from426 to 671 after 10 times of F-T cycles compared withthat without F-T effect It increases from 408 to 635 forCRDSMA and 409 to 601 for CRSSMA The reasons liein that F-T cycles can lead to not only expansion of existingvoids but also formation of new voids [49] Furthermoreair voids of CRSMA are generally larger than CRDSMAor CRSSMA while air voids of CRSSMA are the lowestAccording to the result by Song et al [20] diatomite has

larger void and absorption properties than mineral fillerIt can effectively absorb the lower molecular group andlower polar aromatic molecules of asphalt to form thickerasphalt film and anchorage structure around aggregates andcrumb rubber particles which can increase the contact areaand decrease the air voids between aggregates and rubberparticles According to the results of SBS modified asphalt byLarsen et al [23] and Adedeji et al [24] polymer phase and

asphalt phase exist together Polymer globules are dispersedhomogenously in the continuous asphalt phase which forma stable network structure It can strengthen the adhesionbetween aggregate and rubber particle and decrease the airvoids

As shown in Figure 5 Δ1198811198811 are the largest for CRSMAand CRDSMA It reveals that rapid expansion of existingvoids and formation of new voids happen after the firstF-T cycle However change ratio of air void for CRSSMAincreases before 5 times of F-T cycles It is induced by thestrong network structure formed by two twisted continuousphases [22] which delays the growth of air void Changeratios of air voids for CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMA tendto be stable after several times of F-T actions It is because theexpansion of existing voids and formation of new voids cometo steady state

The analysis of variance (ANOVA) is themost commonlyused statistical method to determine the significant effectsof factors [50] ANOVA and F-T tests were conducted todetermine statistically significant process parameters of F-Tcycles on air voids for CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMAANOVA results were listed in Table 8

According to ANOVA results 119865 values of CRSMACRDSMA and CRSSMA are all greater than 119865001 Theprobability is 99 that F-T cycle possesses significant effectson air voids of CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMA Besides 119865value of CRSMA is the largest while 119865 value of CRSSMA isthe smallest The results indicate that F-T cycle presents themost statistically significant effect on air void of CRSMA andlowest one on CRSSMA The additions of SBS and diatomitecan reduce the influence of F-T cycles on air void

42 ITS Results ITS and ΔITS were calculated for CRSMACRDSMA and CRSSMA after F-T cycles 0 1 3 6 10 and15 Three specimens were measured for each case For thesemeasurements mean value and standard deviation (SD) werecalculated respectively Corresponding estimation of verticalerror bar was determined for each case which represents thestandard deviation Results of ITS (Mean plusmn SD) and ΔITS areshown in Figures 6 and 7

As can be seen from Figures 6 and 7 ITS for three differ-ent kinds of asphalt mixtures all decrease with the increasingof F-T cycles and decrease rates become smaller MeanwhileΔITS of CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMA increase with theincreasing of F-T cycles The reasons lie in that repetitive F-T actions increase the air voids which is conducive to waterflow Effect of water frost will cause microcrack formationand propagation in asphalt mixture These kinds of seriousdamage lead to the reduction of ITS With the increasing ofF-T cycles air voids tend to be stable Therefore the frosteffect of water slows down Moreover ITS of CRSSMA is thehighest while ITS of CRSMA is the lowest Slowing trendsfor CRDSMA and CRSSMA are more obvious than CRSMAWith the increasing of F-T cycles ΔITS of CRSSMA is the

smallest while it is the biggest for CRSMAThe reasons lie inthat diatomite has good absorption ability of asphalt whichmakes the adhesion capability of asphalt mortar increase andalso the asphalt film thickness on aggregate surface [20 35]Therefore the cohesion among aggregates is strengthened

and the anti-F-T ability of mixture improves which enhancesthe resistance to internal damage of mixture For SBS itselastomeric phase can absorb the oil fraction of asphalt andswell it A continuous polymer phase forms that can improvethe performances of asphalt [23 24]Thenetwork structure ofSBS modified asphalt is more stable than diatomite modifiedone

43 ITSM Results 119878119898 of CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMAwere tested and corresponding Δ119878119898 were calculated Threespecimens were measured for each case and the mean valuewas regarded as the result Results for 119878119898 and Δ119878119898 are listedin Table 9

As shown in Table 9 119878119898 for CRSMA CRDSMA andCRSSMA decrease with the increasing of F-T cycles Δ119878119898increase with the increasing of F-T cycles The reasons liein that stiffness modulus is used to evaluate the bearingcapacity of mixtures Formation of microcrack under F-Taction changes the internal structure andweakens its integrityof asphalt mixture [49] which reduces the bearing capacityWith the increasing of F-T cycles the influence of internaldamage is more obvious Furthermore CRSSMA possessesthe highest stiffness modulus value while CRSMA has thelowest one It is because diatomite modified asphalt and SBSmodified one have higher cohesion ability than the neat one[23] which can lower the degree of internal damage and alsothe bearing capacity for mixture Similarly network structureof SBS modified asphalt presents superior performance thandiatomite modified one119878119898 and ITS are important characteristics to represent themechanical properties of asphalt mixture Their correlationsneed to be demonstrated which are shown in Figure 8 Itcan be observed that 119878119898 and ITS present favorable linearrelationships It can provide reference for the evaluation ofmechanical properties of mixtures

44 Performance Prediction In practice processes of F-Tair void ITS and ITSM tests are complicated and time-consuming They make the evaluation of mixture propertiesinconvenient Prediction analysis can be used to constructthe relationships between mixture properties and F-T cycleswhich is convenient for performance analysis of mixture Inthis paper predictionmodels of air void and ITS for CRSMACRDSMA and CRSSMA were established based on regres-sion analysis and MGM (1 2) respectively The predictioneffects of two models were compared and analyzed

prediction in many fields from decades [51ndash53] Regressionanalysis consists of fitting a function to the data to discoverhow one or more variables (dependent variable) vary as afunction of another (independent variable) In this studyindependent variable is F-T cycles dependent variables areair void and ΔITS respectively

For CRSMA ΔITS is signed as variable 1199101198621 and air voidis 1199101198622 For CRDSMA ΔITS is signed as variable 1199101198631 and airvoid is 1199101198632 For CRSSMA ΔITS is signed as variable 1199101198781 andair void is1199101198782 Regressionmodels forCRSMACRDSMA andCRSSMA are established based on the results of air voids andΔITS after 0 1 3 6 and 10 times of F-T cyclesThey are shownin Figures 9 and 10

As can be seen from Figures 9 and 10 two order poly-nomials were used to construct the prediction models ofΔITS for CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMA 1198772 values ofthe models for ΔITS were higher than 097 Linear regressionmodels were adopted for the prediction of air void forCRSMA andCRSSMA and two order polynomials were usedto for CRDSMA 1198772 values of the models for air void werehigher than 095 All these models revealed close agreementsbetween experimental results and predicted ones

The prediction results of ΔITS (1199101198621 1199101198631 1199101198781) and airvoid (1199101198622 1199101198632 1199101198782) are calculated by use of the establishedregression models The relative errors are obtained for ΔITS

Prediction models of air voids and ΔITS for CRDSMAand CRSSMA are also established based on MGM (1 2)according to the calculation procedure of CRSMA ForCRDSMAΔITS is signed as variable119883(0)1198631 and air void is119883(0)1198632The prediction results of ΔITS (119883(0)1198631) and air void (119883(0)1198632) arecalculated by use of the established MGM (1 2) model Therelative errors and RMSE are calculated for ΔITS and air voidafter 15 times of F-T cyclesThe prediction results of MGM (12) model are listed in Table 14

For CRSSMA ΔITS is signed as variable119883(0)1198781 and air voidis 119883(0)1198782 The prediction results of ΔITS (119883(0)1198781 ) and air void(119883(0)1198782 ) are calculated by use of the established MGM (1 2)model The relative errors and RMSE are calculated for ΔITSand air void after 15 times of F-T cyclesThe prediction resultsof MGM (1 2) model are listed in Table 15

As shown in Tables 13 14 and 15 the relative errors for119883(0)1198621 and 119883(0)1198622 after 15 times of F-T cycles are 377 and090 respectively They are 426 and 335 for 119883(0)1198631and 119883(0)1198632 and 210 and 174 for 119883(0)1198781 and 119883(0)1198782 It revealsthat the established MGM (1 2) models possess favorableaccuracy in performance prediction of CRSMA CRDSMAand CRSSMA As for the maximum relative error they are

377 090 564 335 382 and 284 for 119883(0)1198621 119883(0)1198622 119883(0)1198631 119883(0)1198632 119883(0)1198781 and 119883(0)1198782 respectively They are less than 5except 119883(0)1198631 In the aspect of RMSE they are 101 003091 011 061 and 009 for119883(0)1198621 119883(0)1198622 119883(0)1198631119883(0)1198632119883(0)1198781 and119883(0)1198782 respectively

Compared with regression models the relative errorsof MGM (1 2) models in prediction of air void and ΔITSafter 15 times of F-T cycles are more stable and reliable Themaximum relative errors and RMSE of MGM (1 2) modelsare much lower than regression ones except for ΔITS ofCRSMA The results indicate that the differences betweenvalues predicted byMGM (1 2) model and the values actuallytested are smaller than regression model MGM (1 2) modelpresents more favorable accuracy in performance predictionof CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMA

5 Conclusions

Reuse of waste materials is conducive to the protection ofnatural resources and environment In this paper CR anddiatomite were recycled to modify SMA CR diatomite andSBS were used to prepare CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMAF-T effects on thesemixtures were investigatedThe followingconclusions can be obtained

(1) Air voids of CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMA allincrease with the increasing of F-T cycles The addi-tion of diatomite into CRSMA can reduce its air void

because diatomite can effectively absorb the lowermolecular group and lower polar aromatic moleculesof asphalt to form thicker asphalt film and anchor-age structure around aggregates and crumb rubberparticles As for the effect of SBS it can also reducethe air void of CRSMA because of the strong networkstructure of SBS modified asphalt CRSSMA presentsthe lowest air voids during the test ANOVA resultsreveal that F-T cycle presents the lowest statisticallysignificant effect on air void of CRSSMA

(2) Indirect tensile strength for three different kinds ofasphalt mixtures all decrease with the increasingof F-T cycles Diatomite and SBS present enhance-ment effects for indirect tensile strength of CRSMAAnchorage structure of diatomite modified asphaltand continuous polymer phase of SBS modifiedasphalt can improve the cohesion among aggregatesand enhances the resistance of mixture to internaldamage Results for change ratio of tensile strengthbefore and after F-T cycles reveal that CRSSMA is thesmallest and CRSMA is the biggest

(3) Indirect tensile stiffness modulus of CRSMACRDSMA and CRSSMA decreases with the increas-ing of F-T cycles Diatomite and SBS can effectivelyimprove the stiffness modulus of CRSMA which isbecause diatomitemodified asphalt and SBSmodifiedone have higher cohesion abilities than the neat one

CRSSMA possesses the highest stiffness modulusvalue Stiffness modulus and indirect tensile strengthpresent favorable linear relationship

(4) The differences between values predicted byMGM (12) model and the values actually tested are smallerthan regression model It indicates that MGM modelpresents more favorable accuracy and can be used forperformance prediction of asphalt mixtures

In summary the network structure of SBS modifiedasphalt is more stable than diatomitemodified one Pavementconstructed using CRSSMA will have the better antifreezingperformance than that usingCRSMAorCRDSMAHoweverthe pavement constructed using CRDSMAwill be a favorablechoice considering its environmental and economic advan-tages It not only presents good antifreezing performance butalso realizes the reuse of waste materials including CR anddiatomite

34 Indirect Tensile StiffnessModulus (ITSM) Test In order toinvestigate the bearing capacity of asphalt mixture ITSM testwas performed according to standard AASHTO TP-31 [48]ITSM test was widely used to analyze the tensile propertiesof mixture which can be further related to the crackingperformance of pavement In this research a multifunctionaltesting machine (NU-14) was used which was producedby Cooper Research Technology Ltd United Kingdom Inorder to investigate the antifreezing performance of modifiedasphalt mixtures the tests were conducted at 5∘C and Mar-shall specimens (101mm diameter and 635mm height) wereadopted The specimens were placed in the chamber at thetest temperature for 6 h before tests The schematic diagram[4] for load pulse was shown in Figure 3 Rise time was124ms and duration period was 30 s The target deformationin horizontal direction was 5 120583mThe peak load was adjustedaccording to the test value of target deformation during thetest The stiffness modulus can be obtained by

119878119898 = 119865 sdot (120583 + 027)ℎ sdot 119885 (6)

where 119878119898 is the stiffness modulus MPa 119865 is the peak loadN 120583 is Poisson ratio which is 025 at 5∘C ℎ is the height ofspecimen mm 119885 is the measured deformation in horizontaldirection mm

Change ratio of 119878119898 before and after F-T cycles wascalculated by

Δ119878119898119894 = (119878119861119898 minus 119878119860119898119894)119878119861119898 times 100 (7)

where Δ119878119898119894 is the change ratio of stiffness modulus after 119894times of F-T cycles 119878119861119898 is stiffnessmoduluswithout F-T cyclesand 119878119860119898119894 is stiffness modulus after 119894 times of F-T cycles

35 Modified Grey Method MGM (1 119898) Traditional GM(1 1) can realize prediction of time series data with equalinterval It cannot be used for time series data with nonequalinterval In this research time series data is the numberof F-T cycles which is 0 1 3 6 10 and 15 with nonequalintervalsTherefore the modified grey model (MGM) is usedto construct the prediction model of air void and ΔITSThe prediction procedure usingMGM (1 119898) (Modified Grey

4 Results and Discussion

41 Air Voids Air void is an important characteristic ofinternal structure that affects the moisture damage of asphaltmixture Air voids of CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMAunder 0 1 2 10 times of F-T cycles were tested respec-tively Corresponding Δ119881119881119894 (119894 = 1 2 10) were calculatedThree specimens were measured for each case For thesemeasurements mean value and standard deviation (SD) werecalculated respectively Corresponding estimation of verticalerror bar was determined for each case which represents thestandard deviation Results of air voids (Mean plusmn SD) andΔ119881119881 for CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMA before and afterF-T cycles are shown in Figures 4 and 5

As can be seen from Figure 4 there is no significantincrease or decrease in air void amplitude for each case Airvoids of CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMA are all below7 after 10 times of F-T actions Air voids increase withthe increasing of F-T cycles which agrees with the resultobtained by Xu et al [49] Air void of CRSMA increases from426 to 671 after 10 times of F-T cycles compared withthat without F-T effect It increases from 408 to 635 forCRDSMA and 409 to 601 for CRSSMA The reasons liein that F-T cycles can lead to not only expansion of existingvoids but also formation of new voids [49] Furthermoreair voids of CRSMA are generally larger than CRDSMAor CRSSMA while air voids of CRSSMA are the lowestAccording to the result by Song et al [20] diatomite has

larger void and absorption properties than mineral fillerIt can effectively absorb the lower molecular group andlower polar aromatic molecules of asphalt to form thickerasphalt film and anchorage structure around aggregates andcrumb rubber particles which can increase the contact areaand decrease the air voids between aggregates and rubberparticles According to the results of SBS modified asphalt byLarsen et al [23] and Adedeji et al [24] polymer phase and

asphalt phase exist together Polymer globules are dispersedhomogenously in the continuous asphalt phase which forma stable network structure It can strengthen the adhesionbetween aggregate and rubber particle and decrease the airvoids

As shown in Figure 5 Δ1198811198811 are the largest for CRSMAand CRDSMA It reveals that rapid expansion of existingvoids and formation of new voids happen after the firstF-T cycle However change ratio of air void for CRSSMAincreases before 5 times of F-T cycles It is induced by thestrong network structure formed by two twisted continuousphases [22] which delays the growth of air void Changeratios of air voids for CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMA tendto be stable after several times of F-T actions It is because theexpansion of existing voids and formation of new voids cometo steady state

The analysis of variance (ANOVA) is themost commonlyused statistical method to determine the significant effectsof factors [50] ANOVA and F-T tests were conducted todetermine statistically significant process parameters of F-Tcycles on air voids for CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMAANOVA results were listed in Table 8

According to ANOVA results 119865 values of CRSMACRDSMA and CRSSMA are all greater than 119865001 Theprobability is 99 that F-T cycle possesses significant effectson air voids of CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMA Besides 119865value of CRSMA is the largest while 119865 value of CRSSMA isthe smallest The results indicate that F-T cycle presents themost statistically significant effect on air void of CRSMA andlowest one on CRSSMA The additions of SBS and diatomitecan reduce the influence of F-T cycles on air void

42 ITS Results ITS and ΔITS were calculated for CRSMACRDSMA and CRSSMA after F-T cycles 0 1 3 6 10 and15 Three specimens were measured for each case For thesemeasurements mean value and standard deviation (SD) werecalculated respectively Corresponding estimation of verticalerror bar was determined for each case which represents thestandard deviation Results of ITS (Mean plusmn SD) and ΔITS areshown in Figures 6 and 7

As can be seen from Figures 6 and 7 ITS for three differ-ent kinds of asphalt mixtures all decrease with the increasingof F-T cycles and decrease rates become smaller MeanwhileΔITS of CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMA increase with theincreasing of F-T cycles The reasons lie in that repetitive F-T actions increase the air voids which is conducive to waterflow Effect of water frost will cause microcrack formationand propagation in asphalt mixture These kinds of seriousdamage lead to the reduction of ITS With the increasing ofF-T cycles air voids tend to be stable Therefore the frosteffect of water slows down Moreover ITS of CRSSMA is thehighest while ITS of CRSMA is the lowest Slowing trendsfor CRDSMA and CRSSMA are more obvious than CRSMAWith the increasing of F-T cycles ΔITS of CRSSMA is the

smallest while it is the biggest for CRSMAThe reasons lie inthat diatomite has good absorption ability of asphalt whichmakes the adhesion capability of asphalt mortar increase andalso the asphalt film thickness on aggregate surface [20 35]Therefore the cohesion among aggregates is strengthened

and the anti-F-T ability of mixture improves which enhancesthe resistance to internal damage of mixture For SBS itselastomeric phase can absorb the oil fraction of asphalt andswell it A continuous polymer phase forms that can improvethe performances of asphalt [23 24]Thenetwork structure ofSBS modified asphalt is more stable than diatomite modifiedone

43 ITSM Results 119878119898 of CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMAwere tested and corresponding Δ119878119898 were calculated Threespecimens were measured for each case and the mean valuewas regarded as the result Results for 119878119898 and Δ119878119898 are listedin Table 9

As shown in Table 9 119878119898 for CRSMA CRDSMA andCRSSMA decrease with the increasing of F-T cycles Δ119878119898increase with the increasing of F-T cycles The reasons liein that stiffness modulus is used to evaluate the bearingcapacity of mixtures Formation of microcrack under F-Taction changes the internal structure andweakens its integrityof asphalt mixture [49] which reduces the bearing capacityWith the increasing of F-T cycles the influence of internaldamage is more obvious Furthermore CRSSMA possessesthe highest stiffness modulus value while CRSMA has thelowest one It is because diatomite modified asphalt and SBSmodified one have higher cohesion ability than the neat one[23] which can lower the degree of internal damage and alsothe bearing capacity for mixture Similarly network structureof SBS modified asphalt presents superior performance thandiatomite modified one119878119898 and ITS are important characteristics to represent themechanical properties of asphalt mixture Their correlationsneed to be demonstrated which are shown in Figure 8 Itcan be observed that 119878119898 and ITS present favorable linearrelationships It can provide reference for the evaluation ofmechanical properties of mixtures

44 Performance Prediction In practice processes of F-Tair void ITS and ITSM tests are complicated and time-consuming They make the evaluation of mixture propertiesinconvenient Prediction analysis can be used to constructthe relationships between mixture properties and F-T cycleswhich is convenient for performance analysis of mixture Inthis paper predictionmodels of air void and ITS for CRSMACRDSMA and CRSSMA were established based on regres-sion analysis and MGM (1 2) respectively The predictioneffects of two models were compared and analyzed

prediction in many fields from decades [51ndash53] Regressionanalysis consists of fitting a function to the data to discoverhow one or more variables (dependent variable) vary as afunction of another (independent variable) In this studyindependent variable is F-T cycles dependent variables areair void and ΔITS respectively

For CRSMA ΔITS is signed as variable 1199101198621 and air voidis 1199101198622 For CRDSMA ΔITS is signed as variable 1199101198631 and airvoid is 1199101198632 For CRSSMA ΔITS is signed as variable 1199101198781 andair void is1199101198782 Regressionmodels forCRSMACRDSMA andCRSSMA are established based on the results of air voids andΔITS after 0 1 3 6 and 10 times of F-T cyclesThey are shownin Figures 9 and 10

As can be seen from Figures 9 and 10 two order poly-nomials were used to construct the prediction models ofΔITS for CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMA 1198772 values ofthe models for ΔITS were higher than 097 Linear regressionmodels were adopted for the prediction of air void forCRSMA andCRSSMA and two order polynomials were usedto for CRDSMA 1198772 values of the models for air void werehigher than 095 All these models revealed close agreementsbetween experimental results and predicted ones

The prediction results of ΔITS (1199101198621 1199101198631 1199101198781) and airvoid (1199101198622 1199101198632 1199101198782) are calculated by use of the establishedregression models The relative errors are obtained for ΔITS

For CRSSMA ΔITS is signed as variable119883(0)1198781 and air voidis 119883(0)1198782 The prediction results of ΔITS (119883(0)1198781 ) and air void(119883(0)1198782 ) are calculated by use of the established MGM (1 2)model The relative errors and RMSE are calculated for ΔITSand air void after 15 times of F-T cyclesThe prediction resultsof MGM (1 2) model are listed in Table 15

As shown in Tables 13 14 and 15 the relative errors for119883(0)1198621 and 119883(0)1198622 after 15 times of F-T cycles are 377 and090 respectively They are 426 and 335 for 119883(0)1198631and 119883(0)1198632 and 210 and 174 for 119883(0)1198781 and 119883(0)1198782 It revealsthat the established MGM (1 2) models possess favorableaccuracy in performance prediction of CRSMA CRDSMAand CRSSMA As for the maximum relative error they are

5 Conclusions

Reuse of waste materials is conducive to the protection ofnatural resources and environment In this paper CR anddiatomite were recycled to modify SMA CR diatomite andSBS were used to prepare CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMAF-T effects on thesemixtures were investigatedThe followingconclusions can be obtained

(1) Air voids of CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMA allincrease with the increasing of F-T cycles The addi-tion of diatomite into CRSMA can reduce its air void

because diatomite can effectively absorb the lowermolecular group and lower polar aromatic moleculesof asphalt to form thicker asphalt film and anchor-age structure around aggregates and crumb rubberparticles As for the effect of SBS it can also reducethe air void of CRSMA because of the strong networkstructure of SBS modified asphalt CRSSMA presentsthe lowest air voids during the test ANOVA resultsreveal that F-T cycle presents the lowest statisticallysignificant effect on air void of CRSSMA

(2) Indirect tensile strength for three different kinds ofasphalt mixtures all decrease with the increasingof F-T cycles Diatomite and SBS present enhance-ment effects for indirect tensile strength of CRSMAAnchorage structure of diatomite modified asphaltand continuous polymer phase of SBS modifiedasphalt can improve the cohesion among aggregatesand enhances the resistance of mixture to internaldamage Results for change ratio of tensile strengthbefore and after F-T cycles reveal that CRSSMA is thesmallest and CRSMA is the biggest

(3) Indirect tensile stiffness modulus of CRSMACRDSMA and CRSSMA decreases with the increas-ing of F-T cycles Diatomite and SBS can effectivelyimprove the stiffness modulus of CRSMA which isbecause diatomitemodified asphalt and SBSmodifiedone have higher cohesion abilities than the neat one

CRSSMA possesses the highest stiffness modulusvalue Stiffness modulus and indirect tensile strengthpresent favorable linear relationship

(4) The differences between values predicted byMGM (12) model and the values actually tested are smallerthan regression model It indicates that MGM modelpresents more favorable accuracy and can be used forperformance prediction of asphalt mixtures

In summary the network structure of SBS modifiedasphalt is more stable than diatomitemodified one Pavementconstructed using CRSSMA will have the better antifreezingperformance than that usingCRSMAorCRDSMAHoweverthe pavement constructed using CRDSMAwill be a favorablechoice considering its environmental and economic advan-tages It not only presents good antifreezing performance butalso realizes the reuse of waste materials including CR anddiatomite

larger void and absorption properties than mineral fillerIt can effectively absorb the lower molecular group andlower polar aromatic molecules of asphalt to form thickerasphalt film and anchorage structure around aggregates andcrumb rubber particles which can increase the contact areaand decrease the air voids between aggregates and rubberparticles According to the results of SBS modified asphalt byLarsen et al [23] and Adedeji et al [24] polymer phase and

asphalt phase exist together Polymer globules are dispersedhomogenously in the continuous asphalt phase which forma stable network structure It can strengthen the adhesionbetween aggregate and rubber particle and decrease the airvoids

As shown in Figure 5 Δ1198811198811 are the largest for CRSMAand CRDSMA It reveals that rapid expansion of existingvoids and formation of new voids happen after the firstF-T cycle However change ratio of air void for CRSSMAincreases before 5 times of F-T cycles It is induced by thestrong network structure formed by two twisted continuousphases [22] which delays the growth of air void Changeratios of air voids for CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMA tendto be stable after several times of F-T actions It is because theexpansion of existing voids and formation of new voids cometo steady state

The analysis of variance (ANOVA) is themost commonlyused statistical method to determine the significant effectsof factors [50] ANOVA and F-T tests were conducted todetermine statistically significant process parameters of F-Tcycles on air voids for CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMAANOVA results were listed in Table 8

According to ANOVA results 119865 values of CRSMACRDSMA and CRSSMA are all greater than 119865001 Theprobability is 99 that F-T cycle possesses significant effectson air voids of CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMA Besides 119865value of CRSMA is the largest while 119865 value of CRSSMA isthe smallest The results indicate that F-T cycle presents themost statistically significant effect on air void of CRSMA andlowest one on CRSSMA The additions of SBS and diatomitecan reduce the influence of F-T cycles on air void

42 ITS Results ITS and ΔITS were calculated for CRSMACRDSMA and CRSSMA after F-T cycles 0 1 3 6 10 and15 Three specimens were measured for each case For thesemeasurements mean value and standard deviation (SD) werecalculated respectively Corresponding estimation of verticalerror bar was determined for each case which represents thestandard deviation Results of ITS (Mean plusmn SD) and ΔITS areshown in Figures 6 and 7

As can be seen from Figures 6 and 7 ITS for three differ-ent kinds of asphalt mixtures all decrease with the increasingof F-T cycles and decrease rates become smaller MeanwhileΔITS of CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMA increase with theincreasing of F-T cycles The reasons lie in that repetitive F-T actions increase the air voids which is conducive to waterflow Effect of water frost will cause microcrack formationand propagation in asphalt mixture These kinds of seriousdamage lead to the reduction of ITS With the increasing ofF-T cycles air voids tend to be stable Therefore the frosteffect of water slows down Moreover ITS of CRSSMA is thehighest while ITS of CRSMA is the lowest Slowing trendsfor CRDSMA and CRSSMA are more obvious than CRSMAWith the increasing of F-T cycles ΔITS of CRSSMA is the

smallest while it is the biggest for CRSMAThe reasons lie inthat diatomite has good absorption ability of asphalt whichmakes the adhesion capability of asphalt mortar increase andalso the asphalt film thickness on aggregate surface [20 35]Therefore the cohesion among aggregates is strengthened

and the anti-F-T ability of mixture improves which enhancesthe resistance to internal damage of mixture For SBS itselastomeric phase can absorb the oil fraction of asphalt andswell it A continuous polymer phase forms that can improvethe performances of asphalt [23 24]Thenetwork structure ofSBS modified asphalt is more stable than diatomite modifiedone

43 ITSM Results 119878119898 of CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMAwere tested and corresponding Δ119878119898 were calculated Threespecimens were measured for each case and the mean valuewas regarded as the result Results for 119878119898 and Δ119878119898 are listedin Table 9

As shown in Table 9 119878119898 for CRSMA CRDSMA andCRSSMA decrease with the increasing of F-T cycles Δ119878119898increase with the increasing of F-T cycles The reasons liein that stiffness modulus is used to evaluate the bearingcapacity of mixtures Formation of microcrack under F-Taction changes the internal structure andweakens its integrityof asphalt mixture [49] which reduces the bearing capacityWith the increasing of F-T cycles the influence of internaldamage is more obvious Furthermore CRSSMA possessesthe highest stiffness modulus value while CRSMA has thelowest one It is because diatomite modified asphalt and SBSmodified one have higher cohesion ability than the neat one[23] which can lower the degree of internal damage and alsothe bearing capacity for mixture Similarly network structureof SBS modified asphalt presents superior performance thandiatomite modified one119878119898 and ITS are important characteristics to represent themechanical properties of asphalt mixture Their correlationsneed to be demonstrated which are shown in Figure 8 Itcan be observed that 119878119898 and ITS present favorable linearrelationships It can provide reference for the evaluation ofmechanical properties of mixtures

44 Performance Prediction In practice processes of F-Tair void ITS and ITSM tests are complicated and time-consuming They make the evaluation of mixture propertiesinconvenient Prediction analysis can be used to constructthe relationships between mixture properties and F-T cycleswhich is convenient for performance analysis of mixture Inthis paper predictionmodels of air void and ITS for CRSMACRDSMA and CRSSMA were established based on regres-sion analysis and MGM (1 2) respectively The predictioneffects of two models were compared and analyzed

prediction in many fields from decades [51ndash53] Regressionanalysis consists of fitting a function to the data to discoverhow one or more variables (dependent variable) vary as afunction of another (independent variable) In this studyindependent variable is F-T cycles dependent variables areair void and ΔITS respectively

For CRSMA ΔITS is signed as variable 1199101198621 and air voidis 1199101198622 For CRDSMA ΔITS is signed as variable 1199101198631 and airvoid is 1199101198632 For CRSSMA ΔITS is signed as variable 1199101198781 andair void is1199101198782 Regressionmodels forCRSMACRDSMA andCRSSMA are established based on the results of air voids andΔITS after 0 1 3 6 and 10 times of F-T cyclesThey are shownin Figures 9 and 10

As can be seen from Figures 9 and 10 two order poly-nomials were used to construct the prediction models ofΔITS for CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMA 1198772 values ofthe models for ΔITS were higher than 097 Linear regressionmodels were adopted for the prediction of air void forCRSMA andCRSSMA and two order polynomials were usedto for CRDSMA 1198772 values of the models for air void werehigher than 095 All these models revealed close agreementsbetween experimental results and predicted ones

The prediction results of ΔITS (1199101198621 1199101198631 1199101198781) and airvoid (1199101198622 1199101198632 1199101198782) are calculated by use of the establishedregression models The relative errors are obtained for ΔITS

For CRSSMA ΔITS is signed as variable119883(0)1198781 and air voidis 119883(0)1198782 The prediction results of ΔITS (119883(0)1198781 ) and air void(119883(0)1198782 ) are calculated by use of the established MGM (1 2)model The relative errors and RMSE are calculated for ΔITSand air void after 15 times of F-T cyclesThe prediction resultsof MGM (1 2) model are listed in Table 15

As shown in Tables 13 14 and 15 the relative errors for119883(0)1198621 and 119883(0)1198622 after 15 times of F-T cycles are 377 and090 respectively They are 426 and 335 for 119883(0)1198631and 119883(0)1198632 and 210 and 174 for 119883(0)1198781 and 119883(0)1198782 It revealsthat the established MGM (1 2) models possess favorableaccuracy in performance prediction of CRSMA CRDSMAand CRSSMA As for the maximum relative error they are

5 Conclusions

Reuse of waste materials is conducive to the protection ofnatural resources and environment In this paper CR anddiatomite were recycled to modify SMA CR diatomite andSBS were used to prepare CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMAF-T effects on thesemixtures were investigatedThe followingconclusions can be obtained

(1) Air voids of CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMA allincrease with the increasing of F-T cycles The addi-tion of diatomite into CRSMA can reduce its air void

because diatomite can effectively absorb the lowermolecular group and lower polar aromatic moleculesof asphalt to form thicker asphalt film and anchor-age structure around aggregates and crumb rubberparticles As for the effect of SBS it can also reducethe air void of CRSMA because of the strong networkstructure of SBS modified asphalt CRSSMA presentsthe lowest air voids during the test ANOVA resultsreveal that F-T cycle presents the lowest statisticallysignificant effect on air void of CRSSMA

(2) Indirect tensile strength for three different kinds ofasphalt mixtures all decrease with the increasingof F-T cycles Diatomite and SBS present enhance-ment effects for indirect tensile strength of CRSMAAnchorage structure of diatomite modified asphaltand continuous polymer phase of SBS modifiedasphalt can improve the cohesion among aggregatesand enhances the resistance of mixture to internaldamage Results for change ratio of tensile strengthbefore and after F-T cycles reveal that CRSSMA is thesmallest and CRSMA is the biggest

(3) Indirect tensile stiffness modulus of CRSMACRDSMA and CRSSMA decreases with the increas-ing of F-T cycles Diatomite and SBS can effectivelyimprove the stiffness modulus of CRSMA which isbecause diatomitemodified asphalt and SBSmodifiedone have higher cohesion abilities than the neat one

CRSSMA possesses the highest stiffness modulusvalue Stiffness modulus and indirect tensile strengthpresent favorable linear relationship

(4) The differences between values predicted byMGM (12) model and the values actually tested are smallerthan regression model It indicates that MGM modelpresents more favorable accuracy and can be used forperformance prediction of asphalt mixtures

In summary the network structure of SBS modifiedasphalt is more stable than diatomitemodified one Pavementconstructed using CRSSMA will have the better antifreezingperformance than that usingCRSMAorCRDSMAHoweverthe pavement constructed using CRDSMAwill be a favorablechoice considering its environmental and economic advan-tages It not only presents good antifreezing performance butalso realizes the reuse of waste materials including CR anddiatomite

smallest while it is the biggest for CRSMAThe reasons lie inthat diatomite has good absorption ability of asphalt whichmakes the adhesion capability of asphalt mortar increase andalso the asphalt film thickness on aggregate surface [20 35]Therefore the cohesion among aggregates is strengthened

and the anti-F-T ability of mixture improves which enhancesthe resistance to internal damage of mixture For SBS itselastomeric phase can absorb the oil fraction of asphalt andswell it A continuous polymer phase forms that can improvethe performances of asphalt [23 24]Thenetwork structure ofSBS modified asphalt is more stable than diatomite modifiedone

43 ITSM Results 119878119898 of CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMAwere tested and corresponding Δ119878119898 were calculated Threespecimens were measured for each case and the mean valuewas regarded as the result Results for 119878119898 and Δ119878119898 are listedin Table 9

As shown in Table 9 119878119898 for CRSMA CRDSMA andCRSSMA decrease with the increasing of F-T cycles Δ119878119898increase with the increasing of F-T cycles The reasons liein that stiffness modulus is used to evaluate the bearingcapacity of mixtures Formation of microcrack under F-Taction changes the internal structure andweakens its integrityof asphalt mixture [49] which reduces the bearing capacityWith the increasing of F-T cycles the influence of internaldamage is more obvious Furthermore CRSSMA possessesthe highest stiffness modulus value while CRSMA has thelowest one It is because diatomite modified asphalt and SBSmodified one have higher cohesion ability than the neat one[23] which can lower the degree of internal damage and alsothe bearing capacity for mixture Similarly network structureof SBS modified asphalt presents superior performance thandiatomite modified one119878119898 and ITS are important characteristics to represent themechanical properties of asphalt mixture Their correlationsneed to be demonstrated which are shown in Figure 8 Itcan be observed that 119878119898 and ITS present favorable linearrelationships It can provide reference for the evaluation ofmechanical properties of mixtures

44 Performance Prediction In practice processes of F-Tair void ITS and ITSM tests are complicated and time-consuming They make the evaluation of mixture propertiesinconvenient Prediction analysis can be used to constructthe relationships between mixture properties and F-T cycleswhich is convenient for performance analysis of mixture Inthis paper predictionmodels of air void and ITS for CRSMACRDSMA and CRSSMA were established based on regres-sion analysis and MGM (1 2) respectively The predictioneffects of two models were compared and analyzed

prediction in many fields from decades [51ndash53] Regressionanalysis consists of fitting a function to the data to discoverhow one or more variables (dependent variable) vary as afunction of another (independent variable) In this studyindependent variable is F-T cycles dependent variables areair void and ΔITS respectively

For CRSMA ΔITS is signed as variable 1199101198621 and air voidis 1199101198622 For CRDSMA ΔITS is signed as variable 1199101198631 and airvoid is 1199101198632 For CRSSMA ΔITS is signed as variable 1199101198781 andair void is1199101198782 Regressionmodels forCRSMACRDSMA andCRSSMA are established based on the results of air voids andΔITS after 0 1 3 6 and 10 times of F-T cyclesThey are shownin Figures 9 and 10

As can be seen from Figures 9 and 10 two order poly-nomials were used to construct the prediction models ofΔITS for CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMA 1198772 values ofthe models for ΔITS were higher than 097 Linear regressionmodels were adopted for the prediction of air void forCRSMA andCRSSMA and two order polynomials were usedto for CRDSMA 1198772 values of the models for air void werehigher than 095 All these models revealed close agreementsbetween experimental results and predicted ones

The prediction results of ΔITS (1199101198621 1199101198631 1199101198781) and airvoid (1199101198622 1199101198632 1199101198782) are calculated by use of the establishedregression models The relative errors are obtained for ΔITS

The prediction results of ΔITS (119883(0)1198621) and air void (119883(0)1198622)are calculated by use of the establishedMGM(1 2)modelTherelative errors and RMSE are calculated for ΔITS and air voidafter 15 times of F-T cyclesThe prediction results of MGM (12) model are listed in Table 13

Prediction models of air voids and ΔITS for CRDSMAand CRSSMA are also established based on MGM (1 2)according to the calculation procedure of CRSMA ForCRDSMAΔITS is signed as variable119883(0)1198631 and air void is119883(0)1198632The prediction results of ΔITS (119883(0)1198631) and air void (119883(0)1198632) arecalculated by use of the established MGM (1 2) model Therelative errors and RMSE are calculated for ΔITS and air voidafter 15 times of F-T cyclesThe prediction results of MGM (12) model are listed in Table 14

For CRSSMA ΔITS is signed as variable119883(0)1198781 and air voidis 119883(0)1198782 The prediction results of ΔITS (119883(0)1198781 ) and air void(119883(0)1198782 ) are calculated by use of the established MGM (1 2)model The relative errors and RMSE are calculated for ΔITSand air void after 15 times of F-T cyclesThe prediction resultsof MGM (1 2) model are listed in Table 15

As shown in Tables 13 14 and 15 the relative errors for119883(0)1198621 and 119883(0)1198622 after 15 times of F-T cycles are 377 and090 respectively They are 426 and 335 for 119883(0)1198631and 119883(0)1198632 and 210 and 174 for 119883(0)1198781 and 119883(0)1198782 It revealsthat the established MGM (1 2) models possess favorableaccuracy in performance prediction of CRSMA CRDSMAand CRSSMA As for the maximum relative error they are

377 090 564 335 382 and 284 for 119883(0)1198621 119883(0)1198622 119883(0)1198631 119883(0)1198632 119883(0)1198781 and 119883(0)1198782 respectively They are less than 5except 119883(0)1198631 In the aspect of RMSE they are 101 003091 011 061 and 009 for119883(0)1198621 119883(0)1198622 119883(0)1198631119883(0)1198632119883(0)1198781 and119883(0)1198782 respectively

Compared with regression models the relative errorsof MGM (1 2) models in prediction of air void and ΔITSafter 15 times of F-T cycles are more stable and reliable Themaximum relative errors and RMSE of MGM (1 2) modelsare much lower than regression ones except for ΔITS ofCRSMA The results indicate that the differences betweenvalues predicted byMGM (1 2) model and the values actuallytested are smaller than regression model MGM (1 2) modelpresents more favorable accuracy in performance predictionof CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMA

5 Conclusions

Reuse of waste materials is conducive to the protection ofnatural resources and environment In this paper CR anddiatomite were recycled to modify SMA CR diatomite andSBS were used to prepare CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMAF-T effects on thesemixtures were investigatedThe followingconclusions can be obtained

(1) Air voids of CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMA allincrease with the increasing of F-T cycles The addi-tion of diatomite into CRSMA can reduce its air void

because diatomite can effectively absorb the lowermolecular group and lower polar aromatic moleculesof asphalt to form thicker asphalt film and anchor-age structure around aggregates and crumb rubberparticles As for the effect of SBS it can also reducethe air void of CRSMA because of the strong networkstructure of SBS modified asphalt CRSSMA presentsthe lowest air voids during the test ANOVA resultsreveal that F-T cycle presents the lowest statisticallysignificant effect on air void of CRSSMA

(2) Indirect tensile strength for three different kinds ofasphalt mixtures all decrease with the increasingof F-T cycles Diatomite and SBS present enhance-ment effects for indirect tensile strength of CRSMAAnchorage structure of diatomite modified asphaltand continuous polymer phase of SBS modifiedasphalt can improve the cohesion among aggregatesand enhances the resistance of mixture to internaldamage Results for change ratio of tensile strengthbefore and after F-T cycles reveal that CRSSMA is thesmallest and CRSMA is the biggest

(3) Indirect tensile stiffness modulus of CRSMACRDSMA and CRSSMA decreases with the increas-ing of F-T cycles Diatomite and SBS can effectivelyimprove the stiffness modulus of CRSMA which isbecause diatomitemodified asphalt and SBSmodifiedone have higher cohesion abilities than the neat one

CRSSMA possesses the highest stiffness modulusvalue Stiffness modulus and indirect tensile strengthpresent favorable linear relationship

(4) The differences between values predicted byMGM (12) model and the values actually tested are smallerthan regression model It indicates that MGM modelpresents more favorable accuracy and can be used forperformance prediction of asphalt mixtures

In summary the network structure of SBS modifiedasphalt is more stable than diatomitemodified one Pavementconstructed using CRSSMA will have the better antifreezingperformance than that usingCRSMAorCRDSMAHoweverthe pavement constructed using CRDSMAwill be a favorablechoice considering its environmental and economic advan-tages It not only presents good antifreezing performance butalso realizes the reuse of waste materials including CR anddiatomite

prediction in many fields from decades [51ndash53] Regressionanalysis consists of fitting a function to the data to discoverhow one or more variables (dependent variable) vary as afunction of another (independent variable) In this studyindependent variable is F-T cycles dependent variables areair void and ΔITS respectively

For CRSMA ΔITS is signed as variable 1199101198621 and air voidis 1199101198622 For CRDSMA ΔITS is signed as variable 1199101198631 and airvoid is 1199101198632 For CRSSMA ΔITS is signed as variable 1199101198781 andair void is1199101198782 Regressionmodels forCRSMACRDSMA andCRSSMA are established based on the results of air voids andΔITS after 0 1 3 6 and 10 times of F-T cyclesThey are shownin Figures 9 and 10

As can be seen from Figures 9 and 10 two order poly-nomials were used to construct the prediction models ofΔITS for CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMA 1198772 values ofthe models for ΔITS were higher than 097 Linear regressionmodels were adopted for the prediction of air void forCRSMA andCRSSMA and two order polynomials were usedto for CRDSMA 1198772 values of the models for air void werehigher than 095 All these models revealed close agreementsbetween experimental results and predicted ones

The prediction results of ΔITS (1199101198621 1199101198631 1199101198781) and airvoid (1199101198622 1199101198632 1199101198782) are calculated by use of the establishedregression models The relative errors are obtained for ΔITS

because diatomite can effectively absorb the lowermolecular group and lower polar aromatic moleculesof asphalt to form thicker asphalt film and anchor-age structure around aggregates and crumb rubberparticles As for the effect of SBS it can also reducethe air void of CRSMA because of the strong networkstructure of SBS modified asphalt CRSSMA presentsthe lowest air voids during the test ANOVA resultsreveal that F-T cycle presents the lowest statisticallysignificant effect on air void of CRSSMA

(2) Indirect tensile strength for three different kinds ofasphalt mixtures all decrease with the increasingof F-T cycles Diatomite and SBS present enhance-ment effects for indirect tensile strength of CRSMAAnchorage structure of diatomite modified asphaltand continuous polymer phase of SBS modifiedasphalt can improve the cohesion among aggregatesand enhances the resistance of mixture to internaldamage Results for change ratio of tensile strengthbefore and after F-T cycles reveal that CRSSMA is thesmallest and CRSMA is the biggest

(3) Indirect tensile stiffness modulus of CRSMACRDSMA and CRSSMA decreases with the increas-ing of F-T cycles Diatomite and SBS can effectivelyimprove the stiffness modulus of CRSMA which isbecause diatomitemodified asphalt and SBSmodifiedone have higher cohesion abilities than the neat one

CRSSMA possesses the highest stiffness modulusvalue Stiffness modulus and indirect tensile strengthpresent favorable linear relationship

(4) The differences between values predicted byMGM (12) model and the values actually tested are smallerthan regression model It indicates that MGM modelpresents more favorable accuracy and can be used forperformance prediction of asphalt mixtures

In summary the network structure of SBS modifiedasphalt is more stable than diatomitemodified one Pavementconstructed using CRSSMA will have the better antifreezingperformance than that usingCRSMAorCRDSMAHoweverthe pavement constructed using CRDSMAwill be a favorablechoice considering its environmental and economic advan-tages It not only presents good antifreezing performance butalso realizes the reuse of waste materials including CR anddiatomite

For CRSSMA ΔITS is signed as variable119883(0)1198781 and air voidis 119883(0)1198782 The prediction results of ΔITS (119883(0)1198781 ) and air void(119883(0)1198782 ) are calculated by use of the established MGM (1 2)model The relative errors and RMSE are calculated for ΔITSand air void after 15 times of F-T cyclesThe prediction resultsof MGM (1 2) model are listed in Table 15

As shown in Tables 13 14 and 15 the relative errors for119883(0)1198621 and 119883(0)1198622 after 15 times of F-T cycles are 377 and090 respectively They are 426 and 335 for 119883(0)1198631and 119883(0)1198632 and 210 and 174 for 119883(0)1198781 and 119883(0)1198782 It revealsthat the established MGM (1 2) models possess favorableaccuracy in performance prediction of CRSMA CRDSMAand CRSSMA As for the maximum relative error they are

5 Conclusions

Reuse of waste materials is conducive to the protection ofnatural resources and environment In this paper CR anddiatomite were recycled to modify SMA CR diatomite andSBS were used to prepare CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMAF-T effects on thesemixtures were investigatedThe followingconclusions can be obtained

(1) Air voids of CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMA allincrease with the increasing of F-T cycles The addi-tion of diatomite into CRSMA can reduce its air void

because diatomite can effectively absorb the lowermolecular group and lower polar aromatic moleculesof asphalt to form thicker asphalt film and anchor-age structure around aggregates and crumb rubberparticles As for the effect of SBS it can also reducethe air void of CRSMA because of the strong networkstructure of SBS modified asphalt CRSSMA presentsthe lowest air voids during the test ANOVA resultsreveal that F-T cycle presents the lowest statisticallysignificant effect on air void of CRSSMA

(2) Indirect tensile strength for three different kinds ofasphalt mixtures all decrease with the increasingof F-T cycles Diatomite and SBS present enhance-ment effects for indirect tensile strength of CRSMAAnchorage structure of diatomite modified asphaltand continuous polymer phase of SBS modifiedasphalt can improve the cohesion among aggregatesand enhances the resistance of mixture to internaldamage Results for change ratio of tensile strengthbefore and after F-T cycles reveal that CRSSMA is thesmallest and CRSMA is the biggest

(3) Indirect tensile stiffness modulus of CRSMACRDSMA and CRSSMA decreases with the increas-ing of F-T cycles Diatomite and SBS can effectivelyimprove the stiffness modulus of CRSMA which isbecause diatomitemodified asphalt and SBSmodifiedone have higher cohesion abilities than the neat one

CRSSMA possesses the highest stiffness modulusvalue Stiffness modulus and indirect tensile strengthpresent favorable linear relationship

(4) The differences between values predicted byMGM (12) model and the values actually tested are smallerthan regression model It indicates that MGM modelpresents more favorable accuracy and can be used forperformance prediction of asphalt mixtures

In summary the network structure of SBS modifiedasphalt is more stable than diatomitemodified one Pavementconstructed using CRSSMA will have the better antifreezingperformance than that usingCRSMAorCRDSMAHoweverthe pavement constructed using CRDSMAwill be a favorablechoice considering its environmental and economic advan-tages It not only presents good antifreezing performance butalso realizes the reuse of waste materials including CR anddiatomite

The prediction results of ΔITS (119883(0)1198621) and air void (119883(0)1198622)are calculated by use of the establishedMGM(1 2)modelTherelative errors and RMSE are calculated for ΔITS and air voidafter 15 times of F-T cyclesThe prediction results of MGM (12) model are listed in Table 13

Prediction models of air voids and ΔITS for CRDSMAand CRSSMA are also established based on MGM (1 2)according to the calculation procedure of CRSMA ForCRDSMAΔITS is signed as variable119883(0)1198631 and air void is119883(0)1198632The prediction results of ΔITS (119883(0)1198631) and air void (119883(0)1198632) arecalculated by use of the established MGM (1 2) model Therelative errors and RMSE are calculated for ΔITS and air voidafter 15 times of F-T cyclesThe prediction results of MGM (12) model are listed in Table 14

For CRSSMA ΔITS is signed as variable119883(0)1198781 and air voidis 119883(0)1198782 The prediction results of ΔITS (119883(0)1198781 ) and air void(119883(0)1198782 ) are calculated by use of the established MGM (1 2)model The relative errors and RMSE are calculated for ΔITSand air void after 15 times of F-T cyclesThe prediction resultsof MGM (1 2) model are listed in Table 15

As shown in Tables 13 14 and 15 the relative errors for119883(0)1198621 and 119883(0)1198622 after 15 times of F-T cycles are 377 and090 respectively They are 426 and 335 for 119883(0)1198631and 119883(0)1198632 and 210 and 174 for 119883(0)1198781 and 119883(0)1198782 It revealsthat the established MGM (1 2) models possess favorableaccuracy in performance prediction of CRSMA CRDSMAand CRSSMA As for the maximum relative error they are

377 090 564 335 382 and 284 for 119883(0)1198621 119883(0)1198622 119883(0)1198631 119883(0)1198632 119883(0)1198781 and 119883(0)1198782 respectively They are less than 5except 119883(0)1198631 In the aspect of RMSE they are 101 003091 011 061 and 009 for119883(0)1198621 119883(0)1198622 119883(0)1198631119883(0)1198632119883(0)1198781 and119883(0)1198782 respectively

Compared with regression models the relative errorsof MGM (1 2) models in prediction of air void and ΔITSafter 15 times of F-T cycles are more stable and reliable Themaximum relative errors and RMSE of MGM (1 2) modelsare much lower than regression ones except for ΔITS ofCRSMA The results indicate that the differences betweenvalues predicted byMGM (1 2) model and the values actuallytested are smaller than regression model MGM (1 2) modelpresents more favorable accuracy in performance predictionof CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMA

5 Conclusions

Reuse of waste materials is conducive to the protection ofnatural resources and environment In this paper CR anddiatomite were recycled to modify SMA CR diatomite andSBS were used to prepare CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMAF-T effects on thesemixtures were investigatedThe followingconclusions can be obtained

(1) Air voids of CRSMA CRDSMA and CRSSMA allincrease with the increasing of F-T cycles The addi-tion of diatomite into CRSMA can reduce its air void

because diatomite can effectively absorb the lowermolecular group and lower polar aromatic moleculesof asphalt to form thicker asphalt film and anchor-age structure around aggregates and crumb rubberparticles As for the effect of SBS it can also reducethe air void of CRSMA because of the strong networkstructure of SBS modified asphalt CRSSMA presentsthe lowest air voids during the test ANOVA resultsreveal that F-T cycle presents the lowest statisticallysignificant effect on air void of CRSSMA

(2) Indirect tensile strength for three different kinds ofasphalt mixtures all decrease with the increasingof F-T cycles Diatomite and SBS present enhance-ment effects for indirect tensile strength of CRSMAAnchorage structure of diatomite modified asphaltand continuous polymer phase of SBS modifiedasphalt can improve the cohesion among aggregatesand enhances the resistance of mixture to internaldamage Results for change ratio of tensile strengthbefore and after F-T cycles reveal that CRSSMA is thesmallest and CRSMA is the biggest

(3) Indirect tensile stiffness modulus of CRSMACRDSMA and CRSSMA decreases with the increas-ing of F-T cycles Diatomite and SBS can effectivelyimprove the stiffness modulus of CRSMA which isbecause diatomitemodified asphalt and SBSmodifiedone have higher cohesion abilities than the neat one

CRSSMA possesses the highest stiffness modulusvalue Stiffness modulus and indirect tensile strengthpresent favorable linear relationship

(4) The differences between values predicted byMGM (12) model and the values actually tested are smallerthan regression model It indicates that MGM modelpresents more favorable accuracy and can be used forperformance prediction of asphalt mixtures

In summary the network structure of SBS modifiedasphalt is more stable than diatomitemodified one Pavementconstructed using CRSSMA will have the better antifreezingperformance than that usingCRSMAorCRDSMAHoweverthe pavement constructed using CRDSMAwill be a favorablechoice considering its environmental and economic advan-tages It not only presents good antifreezing performance butalso realizes the reuse of waste materials including CR anddiatomite

because diatomite can effectively absorb the lowermolecular group and lower polar aromatic moleculesof asphalt to form thicker asphalt film and anchor-age structure around aggregates and crumb rubberparticles As for the effect of SBS it can also reducethe air void of CRSMA because of the strong networkstructure of SBS modified asphalt CRSSMA presentsthe lowest air voids during the test ANOVA resultsreveal that F-T cycle presents the lowest statisticallysignificant effect on air void of CRSSMA

(2) Indirect tensile strength for three different kinds ofasphalt mixtures all decrease with the increasingof F-T cycles Diatomite and SBS present enhance-ment effects for indirect tensile strength of CRSMAAnchorage structure of diatomite modified asphaltand continuous polymer phase of SBS modifiedasphalt can improve the cohesion among aggregatesand enhances the resistance of mixture to internaldamage Results for change ratio of tensile strengthbefore and after F-T cycles reveal that CRSSMA is thesmallest and CRSMA is the biggest

(3) Indirect tensile stiffness modulus of CRSMACRDSMA and CRSSMA decreases with the increas-ing of F-T cycles Diatomite and SBS can effectivelyimprove the stiffness modulus of CRSMA which isbecause diatomitemodified asphalt and SBSmodifiedone have higher cohesion abilities than the neat one

CRSSMA possesses the highest stiffness modulusvalue Stiffness modulus and indirect tensile strengthpresent favorable linear relationship

(4) The differences between values predicted byMGM (12) model and the values actually tested are smallerthan regression model It indicates that MGM modelpresents more favorable accuracy and can be used forperformance prediction of asphalt mixtures

In summary the network structure of SBS modifiedasphalt is more stable than diatomitemodified one Pavementconstructed using CRSSMA will have the better antifreezingperformance than that usingCRSMAorCRDSMAHoweverthe pavement constructed using CRDSMAwill be a favorablechoice considering its environmental and economic advan-tages It not only presents good antifreezing performance butalso realizes the reuse of waste materials including CR anddiatomite
