摘要

Asphalt mixture surface texture determines critical surface functions (e.g., skid resistance, noise) but is merely a post-design verification index, not integrated into composition design. This renders pre-design functional evaluation unfeasible and leads to high waste from trial-and-error tests. To clarify the composition-texture relationship, this study systematically reviews formation mechanisms, characterization methods, and predictive models. Notably, texture is regulated by binders, aggregates, gradation, and compaction, with the wall effect causing surface-internal structural differences; Fractal descriptions link texture to composition but lack unified parameters; While composition-based statistical, physical, and machine-learning models are available, enhancing their interpretability, generalization, and mechanistic accuracy remains a key future priority. These advances facilitate the transition from empirical surface validation to composition-driven functional design of asphalt pavements.
