In order to improve research technologies on asphalt pavement in our country, the current research situation and the development prospects of asphalt and asphalt mixture in the recent 20 years were reviewed mainly in the aspects of the constitutive model and microstructure. Firstly, new trends of the researches on components, molecular structures, constitutive model and structure of asphalt were summarized. Secondly, the constitutive model, the microstructure, the multi-scale simulation, the virtual experiment, the finite element model and the ...
