Highlights
Road sectors are the engine of growth for economy, employment and empowerment
From the review of literature on different antistripping additives used in bituminous pavement, the following conclusion can be drawn Anti-stripping additives improve the adhesive property
Zycotherm additive decreases penetration value of base bitumen and there was a slight increase in softening point of bitumen with addition of Zycotherm additive
Summary
Road sectors are the engine of growth for economy, employment and empowerment. It is extremely essential that roads are well laid out and strong. The moisture damage causes loss of adhesion, and adversely affect to the strength of the asphalt mixture dramatically. It can cause the premature pavement failures such as rutting and raveling on the pavement surface. Stripping is the process that results in separation of asphalt binder and aggregate due to the loss of adhesion at the interface of these materials in the presence of water. In order to control and decrease damaging effects of water, many researchers suggested to apply anti-stripping additives to increase the bond between bitumen and aggregates, leading to improved wetting resistance
