dc.description.abstractThe damage due to moisture to asphalt concrete is a major concern, particularly in regions with high annual precipitation like Bangladesh. Stripping, or the loss of bitumen's adherence to aggregate particles is a frequent deterioration of bituminous pavement that is made worse by factors affecting like aggregate type, traffic loads, bitumen characteristics. It has been common practice to reduce moisture-related damage in hot mix asphalt (HMA) by adding liquid antistripping agents or mineral antistripping additives. This study evaluates the moisture sensitivity of HMA using two commonly used aggregates in Bangladesh’s road construction are Source-A Stone Aggregate and Source-B Stone Aggregate and investigates the effect of two liquid antistripping additives, Type-A (Aminosilane) and Type-B (fatty polyamine condensate) and a mineral filler (cement) on the Moisture susceptibility of HMA. The research focuses on improvement of moisture susceptibility of HMA using those aggregate and Mixes were prepared with 0.06% Type-A, 0.1% Type-B and 1% cement as mineral filler and their performance was assessed using the indirect tensile strength (ITS) and Tensile strength (TSR) tests. The results demonstrated improved moisture resistance for all additive-modified mixes compared to control samples, with TSR values increasing by 27%, 16% and 13% for cement, Type-A and Type-B additives, respectively. Cement filler exhibits the highest efficacy in enhancing moisture resistance, suggesting its significant potential for mitigating moisture damage in asphalt pavements. The findings highlight the importance of selecting appropriate additive systems to enhance the durability and performance of HMA in moisture-prone regions. The findings also provide valuable insights into interaction between commonly used materials and additives, offering practical solution for designing durable asphalt pavements in Bangladesh. Keywords: Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA), moisture-induced damage, cement, mineral filler, liquid anti-stripping additives, Source-A Stone Aggregate, Source-B Stone Aggregate, Asphalt durability, moisture resistance, moisture susceptibility, indirect tensile strength (ITS), and tensile strength ratio (TSR).
