| Abstract | Moisture damage problem is a main problem in pavement which is found especially in an area with high amount of rainfall. Therefore, it is very important to understand the problem which can reduce the pavement distress due to moisture damage. One effective solution is to apply the anti-stripping additives in asphalt mixture to reduce the stripping of asphalt from aggregate surface because of the moisture. The steel slag and reclaimed concrete are selected as the industrial by-product to replace aggregate and the fly ash and cement kiln dust are selected as the additive or filler applied to the asphalt mixture in this study. After the additive or filler has been applied, the strength and durability of mixture were investigated. The performance testing of asphalt mixtures focuses on the resilient modulus test and the indirect tensile strength test to measure the resistance of asphalt mixture to moisture damage. Based on the results, for the tensile strength ratio test, the use of industrial by¬products such as fly ash and cement kiln dust, as an additive can improve the properties of asphalt mixture to resist moisture damage, and also the use of industrial by-products such as steel slag and reclaimed concrete material, as a replacement for aggregate show considerably desirable performance to resist moisture damage. In addition, the resilient modulus is influenced by types of the industrial by-product material used in the mixtures. |
