Comparative Analysis Between Different Antistripping Agents Used in Hot Mix Asphalt

Abstract

Abstract: In current study, an attempt has been made to investigate the different anti-stripping agents (Zycotherm (0.08%, 0.10%, 0.12%) and Wetbond-S (0.06, 0.08%, 0.10%)) in hot mix asphalt (HMA) to curb the problem of stripping and moisture susceptibility in the aggregates. For this, different laboratory tests such as boil test, stripping value test, Marshall Stability test, and retained stability test were conducted and respective results were collected. From the results, it can be concluded that the utilization of the anti-stripping agents (Zycotherm-0.12% or Wetbond-S-0.08%) to make the raw aggregates stripping proof can be done.
