Abstract
Moisture sensitivity has been a significant factor in pavement deterioration for several decades. The primary objective of the proposed research is to quantify the interface-level adhesion forces between bitumen samples and various types of aggregates. Aggregates and binders from varying sources with an anti-stripping agent were utilized for routine tests, micro-level tests, and elemental analysis. Pneumatic Adhesion Tensile Testing Instrument (PATTI) was discovered to be a more straightforward, simple, and repeatable adhesion testing method. The PATTI test revealed that sandstone exhibited higher adhesion values due to its greater porosity and absorption potential than limestone. The Texas Boiling test removed human subjective estimations and generated exact coating percentages. Furthermore, the chemical compositions affect the physical properties of asphalt binders. As indicated by this study, the aromatic contents of the Catana region control moisture damage in asphalt binders.
