| Summary: | Sandstone has poor mechanical properties. To facilitate the application of sandstone into asphalt mixtures, sandstone was treated by immersion in sodium silicate solution, and the dynamic modulus after reinforcement was used as a criterion. The results showed that the mechanical properties of the sandstone aggregate treated with sodium silicate were improved, and the dynamic modulus was increased by 18.2%, which will help to reduce rutting. The dynamic modulus and phase angle can be effectively predicted over a wide frequency range using the sigma function and the Kramers–Kronig relationship. Sandstone asphalt mixtures basically conform to linear viscoelasticity, but the phase angle changes are more complicated at high temperatures and do not vary monotonically with frequency. By calculating the rutting coefficient, fatigue coefficient, and DSRFn parameters for performance prediction, it was found that an increase in dynamic modulus resulted in a significant increase in the rutting coefficient but a decrease in the cracking resistance. |
