METHODS OF TESTING FOR WATER RESISTANCE OF BITUMINOUS PAVING MIXTURES

THE PROBLEM OF SECURING AND MAINTAINING ADHESION BETWEEN ASPHALTS AND AGGREGATES IN THE PRESENCE OF WATER HAS BEEN RECOGNIZED BY ASPHALT TECHNOLOGISTS ALMOST FROM THE BEGINNING OF ASPHALT ROAD CONSTRUCTION. HOWEVER, THE DEVELOPMENT OF TEST PROCEDURES AND THE USE OF THEM TO STUDY FACTORS AFFECTING THE WATER RESISTANCE OF BITUMINOUS PAVING MIXTURES DATES FROM ABOUT 1930 OR POSSIBLY A FEW YEARS EARLIER.
