Through reviewing previous research on UV aging of SBS modified asphalt at home and abroad, the aging mechanism was explicated from both macro and micro perspectives. The ultraviolet aging equation and factors influencing the aging were also introduced. In light of the fact that asphalt performance evaluation system in China does not involve ultraviolet aging, the research results of SBS asphalt UV aging, the related evaluation indicators and test methods were presented. Based on these, some research prospects are put forward to provide a theoretical basis for evaluating and predicting the agi...
