The experimental design included the utilizations of two aggregate sources, two moisture, two anti-stripping additives, and three WMA additives and control. Several properties of the binders and mixtures were obtained including： viscosity, dynamic shear rheometer, beam bending rheometer of WMA binders, indirect tensile strength （ITS）, tensile strength ratio （TSR）, and flow values. The experimental results indicate that the WMA additives can result in a slight decrease in viscosity and an increase in failure temperature. In addition, the moisture susceptibility results illustrated that the mixtures containing moist aggregates generally have similar ITS values to other mixtures regardless of HMA or WMA types. Moreover, there were no significant differences in the wet ITS values of WMA mixture amongst four types of mixtures under identical conditions （same moisture and lime contents） except for the mixtures containing liquid anti-stripping additive and Asphamin additive.展开更多
