摘要

The characteristics of penetration graded asphalt can be evaluated using various criteria, among which the penetration and softening point are considered critical. The rapid and accurate estimation of these parameters for graphene oxide (GO) modified asphalt can lead to significant time and cost savings. This study presents the first comprehensive application of Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGB) algorithm to predict these properties for GO modified asphalt, utilizing a diverse dataset (122 penetration, 130 softening point samples) from published studies. The developed XGB model, using 9 input parameters encompassing GO characteristics, mixing processes, and initial asphalt properties, demonstrated outstanding predictive accuracy (coefficient of determination R2 of 0.995 on the testing data) and outperformed ten other benchmark machine learning algorithms. Furthermore, a Shapley Additive exPlanation (SHAP)-based analysis quantifies the feature importance, revealing that the base asphalt’s initial properties, aging type, and GO content are the most dominant predictive factors. This study delivers a validated, high-fidelity predictive tool that can significantly accelerate the material design process for GO-modified asphalt, providing an efficient and reliable alternative to extensive laboratory testing.
