There are abundant granite reserves in China, but the adhesion between granite and asphalt is poor, and there are problems such as insufficient water stability, which seriously restrict the application and promotion of granite in asphalt pavement. In order to improve the adhesion between granite and asphalt, as well as the water stability of asphalt mixture, amines and polymers were selected as anti-stripping agents. First, silane coupling agent modified asphalt (SCAMA), rock asphalt modified asphalt (RMA), SBS modified asphalt (SBS), and double rock composite modified asphalt (SCA&RMA) were produced; the modification effect of different anti-stripping modified asphalts was evaluated. Then, the adhesion of different types of asphalts and granite aggregates before and after aging was evaluated by time-delayed water immersion method. Finally, AC-10 and AC-16 granite–asphalt mixtures were designed, through indoor performance test and 1/3 scale accelerated loading test, evaluating the improvement effect of granite–asphalt mixture on pavement performance. The results show that the asphalt modified by amine or organic polymers anti-stripping agent could significantly improve the adhesion between granite and asphalt. The Hamburg wheel-tracking test failed to fully reflect the whole process of high-temperature rutting failure. When evaluating the high-temperature performance and water stability of asphalt mixtures, it is recommended that the evaluation method should cover the whole failure stage of asphalt mixtures; considering the coupling effect of water and high temperature, the order of water stability of granite–asphalt mixture is proposed as follows: SCA&RMA > RMA > SBS > SCAMA > 70-A, and SCA&RMA has the best modification effect.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the influence of moving loads on the asphalt pavement in response to single-axle and dual-axle loading modes using the full-scale accelerated pavement testing (APT) facility from Shandong Jiaotong University. First, a test lane of pavement with four structures is constructed. Eleven strain sensors and four pressure cells are embedded at different depths and positions. Secondly, a research on the strain and stress in single-axle and dual-axle loading modes is conducted. Finally, the time accumulation of strain and stress is defined to describe the degree of pavement damage. The study reaches the following conclusions: (1) the strain reversal is induced as the wheels pass through the pavement, and the stress is always a positive value. (2) Both the strain and the stress increase as the loading increases regardless of the loading modes. (3) Comparing the two loading modes at the same velocity and loading, the horizontal tensile strain peak, the horizontal compressive strain peak, and the stress peak are all greater in the single-axle loading mode. But the degree of pavement damage is greater in the dual-axle loading mode based on the points of the time accumulations of strain and stress of each pass.
