As analyzed above, SBS modified asphalt has good overall pavement performance, as well as construction convenience, so it is recommended as the best interlayer material for rigid–flexible composite pavement. Shear test was carried out to testify its bond strength and identify the optimum amount of binder. An improved apparatus specially developed by the researchers was used to conduct the shear test of rigid–flexible composite pavement. (Fig. 9, Patent No. CN102519808B) The briquetting and
