Evaluation of Test Method TEX-531-C, 'Prediction of Moisture-Induced Damage toBituminous Paving Materials Using Molded Specimens'

摘要

This in-house research project evaluated Test Method Tex-531-C. The objectives ofthe study were: (1) Evaluate effects of degree of saturation on tensile strength ratio (TSR). (2) Evaluate effects of lime and liquid antistripping agents on TSR. (3) Evaluate effects of water pH on TSR. Results of this study do not support any changes to the current Test Method Tex-531-C.
