Improvement of Alkaline Fillers on Anti-stripping Properties of Asphalt Concrete

Anti stripping is an important objective of asphalt concrete engineering.Effects of acidic and alkaline fillers on anti stripping of asphalt concrete, and the possibilities of solid powder wastes added into asphalt concrete as the filler, have been explored. The result shows that additions of alkaline filler such as limestone and EF material into asphalt concrete as the filler, compared to acidic fillers such as siliceous mineral filler and fly ash, can effectively enhance the Marshell stability, resilient modulus and split tensile strength for this mixture. Meanwhile, the anti-stripping ability of asphalt concrete would be greatly improved.
