Abstract
ABSTRACT Addition of Chemical antistripping agents (ASA)to asphalt has inherent disadvantages such as reduction of the effectiveness of ASA in hot asphalt and formation of relatively weak bond with the aggregate surface. To circumvent such problems, a novel approach of aggregate pretreatment with ASA was investigated in this study. The aggregate was pretreated with aqueous emulsions/solutions of different organic surface modifiers. The effectiveness of this aggregate pretreatment procedure was evaluated to ascertain the asphalt-aggregate bond strength using the boiling water test. Boiling water test was selected for its rapidity and simplicity. The
