Abstract: The advantages of the use of lime in asphalt hot mixes are promoted in this fairly technical video. Laboratory and field tests demonstrate the increased strength, pavement durability and initial stiffness achieved with lime additive. The video shows the effectiveness of lime in reducing age-hardening and low temperature cracking, and its effectiveness as an anti- stripping agent. Mixing procedures at batch and continuous drum mixer asphalt plants are also shown.
Notes: Good presentation for personnel responsible for asphalt mix design; too technical for general audiences.
