Based on the efficient resource utilization of scrap tires, pyrolysis carbon black (PCB), and pyrolysis oil of waste tire (TPO), scrap tires' products were treated using dry styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) polymer modification of asphalt. The products of scrap tires, PCB and TPO, were handled using dry SBS polymer modification of asphalt based on the effective resource use of scrap tires. The consequences of scrap tires, PCB and TPO, were taken using dry SBS polymer modification of asphalt based on the effective resource use of scrap tires. PCB and TPO composite effect seriously degraded. Based on this, the impact of dry SBS polymer modification on the functionality of PCB-TPO-modified asphalt and the mechanism of modification was examined. According to the investigation, the SBS polymer was evenly distributed and fully developed in the asphalt mixture, which significantly enhanced the qualities of asphalt and the asphalt mixture and performed a positive role in the internal structure of the asphalt mixture.

There is still a limited number of high-redshift (z > 3) active galactic nuclei (AGNs) whose jet kinematics have been studied with very long baseline interferometry (VLBI). Without a dedicated proper motion survey, regularly conducted astrometric VLBI observations of bright radio-emitting AGN with sensitive arrays can be utilized to follow changes in the jets, by means of high-resolution imaging and brightness distribution modelling. Here, we present a first-time VLBI jet kinematic study of NVSS J080518 + 614423 (z = 3.033) and NVSS J165844-073918 (z = 3.742), two flat-spectrum radio quasars that display milliarcsecond-scale jet morphology. Archi v al astrometric observ ations carried out mainly with the Very Long Baseline Array, supplemented by recent data taken with the European VLBI Network, allowed us to monitor changes in their radio structure in the 7.6-8.6 GHz frequency band, covering almost two decades. By identifying individual jet components at each epoch, we were able to determine the apparent proper motion for multiple features in both sources. Apparent superluminal motions range (1-14) c, and are found to be consistent with studies of other high-redshift AGN targets. Using the physical parameters derived from the brightness distribution modelling, we estimate the Doppler-boosting factors (δ≈11.2 and δ≈2.7), the Lorentz factors (Γ ≈7.4 and Γ ≈36.6), and the jet viewing angles (θ≈4.4°and θ≈8.0°), for NVSS J080518 + 614423 and NVSS J165844-073918, respectively. The data revealed a stationary jet component with negligible apparent proper motion in NVSS J165844-073918.

To meet the needs of the road industry for maintenance operations, a new cement emulsified bitumen mixture (CEBM) with early-strength, self-compacting, and room-temperature construction characteristics was designed. The strength formation mechanism of CEBM was revealed with a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and the surface free energy (SFE) theory. The mechanical properties and road performance of the CEBM were investigated extensively. The results show that before the demulsification of emulsified bitumen, the SFE of the bitumen–aggregate–water three-phase system was reduced due to the replacement of the bitumen–aggregate interface with water. The adhesion work between the emulsified bitumen and the aggregate is negative, which means the adhesion between the emulsified bitumen and the aggregate will not occur spontaneously due to the existence of water. The liquid emulsified bitumen improves the workability of the mixture and ensures that the mixture can be evenly mixed and self-compacted. After demulsification, the work of adhesion between the residual bitumen and the aggregate is positive, which means residual bitumen and aggregate can bond spontaneously. In addition, the hydration products of cement and aggregate form a skeleton, and the emulsified bitumen film wraps and bonds the cement and aggregate together, creating strength. The emulsified bitumen, cement content, and curing conditions have significant effects on the stability of CEBM. The recommended dosage of emulsified bitumen and cement is 8% and 8–10%, respectively. This material integrates the hardening effect of cement and the viscoelastic performance of bitumen and has good workability, mechanical properties, and road performance. Therefore, the CEBM is technically feasible for application to bitumen pavement.

A self-compacting steel slag epoxy resin concrete (SERC) was designed with steel slag as aggregate and epoxy resin as binder for rapid repair of road expansion joints and pavement. At the same time, a group of self-compacting basalt epoxy resin concrete (BERC) with basalt as coarse aggregate and limestone as fine aggregate was set up as the control group. The element analysis and micro morphology of SERC and BERC were studied by X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) to reveal the strength-forming mechanism of the two epoxy resin concretes. The cube compression test and Marshall stability test were used to study the effect of the strength formation rate and temperature of SERC and BERC on the strength. In addition, the high-temperature stability, low-temperature crack resistance, water damage resistance, fatigue resistance and interlayer bonding properties of SERC and BERC were also studied. The results showed that both SERC and BERC have good mechanical properties, high temperature properties and good bonding properties, and the low-temperature crack resistance and fatigue properties of SERC are better than that of BERC. According to the verification of the actual project that has been in service for one year, SERC can be perfectly used for road expansion joints.
