description | An original experimental method was used to investigate the influence of water and road salt with anti-caking agent on the material used in pavement construction layers. This method allowed for monitoring material changes resulting from the influence of water and road salt with anti-caking agent over time. The experiment used five different mineral road mixes, which were soaked separately in water and brine for two time intervals (2 days and 21 days). Then, each sample of the mix was subjected to tests of the complex module using the four-point bending (4PB-PR) method. The increase in mass of the soaked samples and the change in value of the stiffness modulus were analyzed. Exemplary tomographic (X-ray) imaging was performed to confirm the reaction of the road salt and anti-caking agent (lead agent) with the material. Based on measurements of the stiffness modulus and absorption, the correlations of the mass change and the value of the stiffness modulus were determined, which may be useful in estimating the sensitivity of mixes to the use of winter maintenance agents—e.g., road salt with anti-caking agent (sodium chloride). It was found that the greatest changes occur for mixes intended for base course layers (mineral cement mix with foamed asphalt (MCAS) and mineral-cement-emulsion mixes (MCE)) and that the smallest changes occur for mixes containing highly modified asphalt (HIMA). |
