DETERMINATION OF THE INFLUENCE OF WATER ON MIXTURES OF BITUMINOUS BINDER AND STONE

TESTS WERE CARRIED OUT TO DETERMINE THE STRENGTH BEHAVIOR OF BITUMINOUS MIXTURES BEFORE AND AFTER IMMERSION IN WATER. RESULTS OF THE TESTS CONFIRMED THE INADEQUACY OF EXISTING SPECIFICATION, WHICH ONLY TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE INFLUENCE OF WATER ON ADHESION AND DO NOT CONSIDER ITS EFFECT ON STRENGTH. FURTHER STUDIES ARE PROPOSED WITH A VIEW TO DEVELOPING STRENGTH EVALUATION CRITERIA WHICH CAN BE INCORPORATED INTO SPECIFICATIONS. /TRRL/
