The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of nano-sized hydrated lime on the moisture susceptibility of the hot mix asphalt (HMA) mixtures in terms of three methodologies to introduce into the mixtures. The experimental design for this study included the utilizations of one binder source (PG 64-22), three aggregate sources and three different methods introducing the lime. A total of 12 types of HMA mixtures and 72 specimens were fabricated and tested in this study. The performed properties include indirect tensile strength (ITS), tensile strength ratio (TSR), flow, and toughness. The results indicated that the nano-sized lime exhibits better moisture resistance. Introducing process of the nano-sized lime will produce difference in moisture susceptibility.

This study demonstrates an assessment into the different effects of lime as a mineral filler for use in densely graded hot mix asphalt (HMA). Five percent by mass of hydrated lime and lime kiln dust (LKD) were added to an asphalt mixture as its mineral filler. A series of laboratory tests to evaluate stability and flow, resilient modulus and tensile stripping ratio with reference to a control mix (a commonly used HMA) were performed. The test results showed that mixing hydrated lime into a HMA mix could enhance superior performance of hydrated lime-HMA test samples for all tests, demonstrating no moisture susceptibility. Test samples of HMA with LKD also demonstrated moisture resistance and can offer a sustainable alternative to hydrated lime, yielding one quarter of the cost. The control mix proved to be an inadequate choice upon failing the stripping potential test and therefore deemed to be susceptible to moisture.

Permanent deformation and moisture damage (i.e., rutting and stripping) are two predominant hot-mix asphalt (HMA) distresses. Rutting can be caused by many factors, including stripping, which result in reduced HMA shear strength. Hot-mix asphalt stripping evaluation is a source of significant industry discussion and debate. Transportation agencies use a number of methods to evaluate stripping, with many methods customized depending on local concerns and environmental conditions. Today, many agencies use some type of loaded-wheel testing, with associated mix “pass–fail” criteria, as part of the mix design acceptance procedure. This process is often referred to as “proof” testing and provides a higher confidence that the HMA mix will perform satisfactorily during service conditions. A new device, the rotary wheel tester, has been developed to evaluate the rutting and stripping performance of HMA mixes. This device operates on a principle similar to that of the Hamburg wheel tester: the main difference is that the specimen is loaded along its diameter instead of from the top. The cost of the rotary wheel tester is less than half that of the Hamburg wheel tester. Testing was conducted to determine whether the rotary wheel tester could distinguish between good- and poor-performing mixes and to determine whether PG 76-22 or PG 67-22 plus hydrated lime improved mix performance. Results indicate that the rotary wheel tester is an easy-to-use testing device that appears to provide reasonable prediction of the rutting and stripping performance of HMA mixes. It also appears that PG 76-22 asphalt binder improves mix performance to a greater extent than does PG 67-22 plus hydrated lime.

AbstractEstimation of physical and mechanical properties of cohesive soil stabilized by hydratized lime addition. Process of chemical stabilization of cohesive soils influences its mechanical properties, also in the case of soil cohesion. Road constructions consist of few layers which have various mechanical properties and this creates the need for better understanding the impact of chemical stabilization on soil as a layer of road. For the purposes of this article, tests were carried out in order to establish physical and mechanical properties, especially the penetrating resistance CBR test. The main aim of this paper was to estimate the cohesion of the soil, which was sandy-silty clay stabilized with hydrated lime

Moisture damage is a primary mode of distress occurring in hot mix asphalt (HMA) pavements. Usually, the acid aggregate like gneiss must use some anti-stripping additive to resist water damage. Hydrated lime is best known as an anti-stripping additive since 1910. The purpose of this paper is to look at some aspects of the effects of aggregate chemical properties and hydrated lime on the dynamic mechanics and stripping behavior of hot mix asphalt. Two types of aggregates evaluated in this study were limestone and gneiss. The effects of the aggregates type were evaluated on four different aggregate gradations which were composed with the two aggregates in different proportion. And the hydrated lime has been used for HMA pavements to mitigate moisture-related damage in gneiss asphalt mixture. Laboratory tests for different asphalt mixture include Marshall Test, Frozen-thaw Cycle Test, Dynamic Modulus Test (DMT) and Indirect Tensile Fatigue Test (ITFT). Testing data and analyses demonstrated that different aggregate gradations have different mechanical properties. Hydrate lime has greatly contributed to moisture damage resistance in acid aggregate gneiss and enhanced the dynamic modulus. The modified with hydrated lime mixture composed with coarse gneiss aggregate and fine limestone aggregate also has better performance of the mixture against rutting, fatigue and thermal cracking. It can be concluded from ITFT tests that the fatigue life (load cycle times) of additive hydrated lime asphalt concrete is more than neat ones. At last, we can conclude that the selection and design that modified with hydrated lime and fine limestone aggregate replace acid aggregate could create multiple benefits in asphalt mixtures.
