Abstract: To improve the flame retardant performance of tunnel asphalt pavement, different types of nano clay, bentonite (OMMT) and layered double metal hydroxide (LDH), and aluminum hydroxide (ATH) were selected to prepare composite modified asphalt. The performance of different composite modified asphalt was characterized by three-index tests and limit oxygen index (LOI) test. On this basis, the optimal ratio of composites in modified asphalt was optimized by multi-index analysis. Additionally, the pyrolysis characteristics of the optimized composite modified asphalt were investigated by thermogravimetric (TG). The results show that the penetration and ductility of the modified asphalt are reduced, while the softening point is increased, with the addition of nano-clay/ATH composites. The influence of ATH/OMMT composite on the three indexes of asphalt material is more obvious than that of ATH/LDH composite. Compared with ATH modified asphalt, the LOI value of ATH/NC modified asphalt is significantly increased, and the synergistic effect of ATH/OMMT modified asphalt is obviously better than that of ATH/LDH modified asphalt. What's more, ATH and OMMT show good synergistic flame retardancy. A particle size of modifier has slight effect on the performance of asphalt. Based on the comprehensive index analysis method, OMMT and ATH are selected to prepare nano composite modified asphalt, with the content of ATH 10%, OMMT 1% and 3%. The results of TG test show that the char residual of the composite modified asphalt is significantly higher than that of the control, and the char residual of the composite modified asphalt has a good correlation with its flame retardant performance.
