To reduce costs and prevent environmental pollution in the fabrication process of straws fibrosis, a simple and efficient method of straw-reinforced asphalt concrete is proposed, which adds short-thin wheat straw pieces (SWSPs) into asphalt mixture directly. The road performances of wheat straw asphalt mixture (WSAM) are evaluated by means of three-point flexural test, rutting test, freeze thaw split test and the test of fracture toughness. The results show that when the SWSPs content is between 0.1% and 0.2%, the flexural strength of asphalt mixture increases by 23%, the dynamic stability by 48% (reaching 1592 times), fracture toughness by 27% while the rut depth decreases by 44%. It is indicated that high temperature stability of the asphalt mixture and low temperature crack resistance are intensified by adding an appropriate amount of SWSPs, and the results of freeze thaw split test manifest that the moisture susceptibility of WSAM is weaker.
