For determining the adhesion and cohesion, Bitumen Bond Strength tests were made for dry and wet conditions.  In addition, the Surface Free Energy was measured for the aggregates and the asphalt.  The results indicated that those type of aggregates are highly susceptible to moisture damage, due all values of humidity Index Damage (HDI) were less than 0,5. This indicates that it is necessary to use modifiers for controlling the stripping of the pavements due to Moisture Damage.</p> ER -
