Review on Effect of Anti-Stripping Agent and Cement on Indirect Tensile Strength of DBM

Abstract

Abstract: Due to the problems associated with cracking, the tensile properties of bituminous mix are of great concern to pavement engineers. Consequently, the tensile strength of bituminous mix is crucial for applications involving pavement. The Indirect Tensile Strength (ITS) test is used to evaluate the tensile properties of the bituminous mix. Adding cement or lime to bituminous mixtures is known to impart anti-stripping properties. For adverse conditions, however, it is advisable to use antistripping chemicals. It is crucial to ensure that the addition of this compound will not have a negative impact on other properties. Numerous studies on ITS have been conducted separately; however, no effect to evaluate the effect of addition of both of them has been done. In this proposal, an effort has been made to investigate the addition techniques of Anti-Stripping and Cement to DBM, both individually and in combination with the appropriate proportion.
