STRIPPING OF ASPHALT PAVEMENTS: STATE OF THE ART (DISCUSSION, CLOSURE)

A comprehensive survey of the literature regarding moisture damage to asphalt pavements as a result of stripping is presented. The literature reviewed was generally limited to readily available publications since 1954. The paper attempts to address the key issues relted to stripping of asphalt pavements in a logical order. These issues have been divided into the following categories: Mechanisms of Stripping, Factors Influenced Stripping, Use of Anti-Strip Additives, and Tests to Predict Moisture Susceptibility. Each of these areas has been developed to the extent felt necessary to discuss the current knowledge of the subject adequately, with numerous references cited. A summary entitled "Design and Construction to Reduce the Potential for Stripping of Asphalt Pavements" is provided at the end of the paper to bring together practical implications of the current state of knowledge about stripping and moisture damage of asphalt pavements.
