Abstract
The stripping of asphalt cement still the most significant reason that causes the deterioration of asphalt concrete pavement. This study aims to compare and develop a systematic method for the results of stripping tests: Texas boiling, resilient modulus, and fatigue. Three types of aggregates and two types of anti-stripping additives were used. Texas boiling test, and then Marshall specimens with (6-8%) air voids subjected to medium or high moisture conditioning were used. The stripping potential evaluated by suggesting sequence tests steps for asphalt coating retained (60-80%) visually and by the resilient modulus (MR). The visual assessment of the boiling test and the rolling test is not enough to predict stripping. The degree of saturation had a very significant effect on the resilient modulus values. The use of the resilient modulus test for Marshall specimens is a reliable test to predict stripping. For the results of less than the range; add additives and re-evaluate the stripping. For results above the range; run a fatigue test with high saturation. In general, it found that the dosage of lime needed is between 1.5 to 2.0% by weight of aggregate, where for polyamine, it was between 0.75 to 1% by weight of asphalt binder. Lime additive showed better effects on stripping potential than polyamine (liquid) additive. The proposed methodology which organized by a flow chart is a sound step-by-step and practical procedure for predicting the stripping. It could be used as a guideline to assess the water susceptibility for any aggregate type
