Abstract
The objectives of this project are to: (1) Establish a procedure to identify the optimum antistrip additive content for a given asphalt mixture and antistrip additive combination; (2) Evaluate the moisture damage resistance of plant-produced asphalt mixtures to establish a preliminary protocol for quality assurance and control; and (3) Develop an objective means to quantify emulsion- aggregate compatibility in lieu of the visual assessment procedure currently specified in NCDOT A-24 procedure. Laboratory- mixed, laboratory compacted mixtures were used to establish an antistrip dosage selection procedure for Boil test results coupled with Asphalt Compatibility Tester (ACT) color measurements
