Anotace: Asphalt materials have a very wide range of applications in roads, but with the increase of traffic pressure and the intensification of cracking and rutting in traditional asphalt pavements, there is an urgent need to further improve the performance of asphalt materials. In this paper, composite asphalt materials containing 10%, 20%, and 30% trinidad lake asphalt (TLA) and 0%, 2%, 3%, and 4% styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) were prepared. Their basic properties and the properties of the mixes used for road rehabilitation were analyzed. It was found that the addition of TLA and SBR caused a decrease in the penetration degree of the material, but significantly increased the softening point of the material, TLA was detrimental to the ductility of the material, and SBR could improve the ductility. From the analysis of the performance of road rehabilitation mixes, the comprehensive performance of 20% TLA+3% SBR was good, its dynamic stability reached 3,712.66 times/mm, its water stability was also good, and its stiffness modulus was 3,332.64 MPa. The results prove the improvement of TLA and SBR for asphalt performance, and this method can be applied in practical projects.
