Ultraviolet radiation is one of the main factors induce asphalt binder aged in the field in-service. This paper investigates physical and rheological properties before and after ultraviolet aging, compared the influence for asphalt performance of ultraviolet radiation aging with thermal aging. Low-temperature bending beam test result also reveal that bitumen’s thermal cracking resistances became poor due to ultraviolet aging. Since the remarkable shorten of life span of the asphalt pavement and some problems associated with binder-related pavement failures in the intensive ultraviolet radiation climates.
