This invention relates to the field of
road engineering, specifically to a method for identifying the
asphalt-mineral
powder interface transition zone based on a
dynamic shear rheometer. The method includes: preparing an
asphalt-
trichloroethylene solution; preparing
asphalt mastic and separating free asphalt based on the asphalt-
trichloroethylene solution and filtered mineral
powder; performing a first
elution on the
asphalt mastic to obtain an asphalt sample; repeating the
asphalt mastic elution process n times; determining the asphalt film thickness of each asphalt sample; conducting a dynamic shear rheological test on each asphalt sample; calculating and plotting the complex
shear modulus master curve based on the complex
shear modulus, the time-temperature
equivalence principle, the WLF equation, and the
CAM model; identifying the first asphalt sample whose complex
shear modulus master curve shows a significant change trend relative to the previous eluted sample, and obtaining the asphalt-mineral
powder interface transition zone thickness based on the asphalt film thickness of the asphalt sample with the significant change trend. This invention accurately identifies the thickness of the asphalt-mineral powder interface transition zone.
