Sumario:The viscosity of modified asphalt binders is the most important property to ensure the durability of open-graded friction course (OGFC). Zero shear viscosity (ZSV) is considered to be the optimum result to reflect the rutting characterization of high viscosity modified asphalt binders, compared with conventional vacuum capillary viscosity. However, there are few reports on using ZSV to evaluate the material characteristics of hybrid modified asphalt binders and to establish the relationship between ZSV and other properties. In this paper, a high viscosity hybrid modified asphalt binder was prepared with Sty-rene-butadiene-styrene (SBS) and Crumb rubber modifier (CRM). ZSV, three major indicators, 60 °C dynamic viscosity, 135 °C Brookfield viscosity, and a dynamic rheological test were used to determine the properties of the hybrid modified asphalt binders. The relationship between ZSV and other properties was studied by the gray correlation analysis method. Results indicated that: (1) The viscosity of hybrid modified asphalt binders increases with the decreasing frequency. When the frequency tends to 0, the viscosity of asphalt at this time is zero shear viscosity; (2) The values of the ZSV of hybrid modified asphalt binders have a large increase as the dose of both CRM and SBS modifiers were increased; and (3) The ZSV at 60 °C correlated well with the performance properties of rutting factor (G*/sin(θ)), indicating that the ZSV of hybrid modified asphalt binders could be a good indicator of performance.
