Trr No. 1171 Asphalt Materials And Mixtures, pp. 37-43 A laboratory investigation was conducted to relate some measurable aggregate properties to the stripping propensity of a mix aggregate and asphalt cement. Several different types of aggregates were used in this study. Under certain conditions, aggregates that have a relatively high surface electrical potential and those that impart a hig…

This paper presents a tested technique, which involves using a aqueous solution of potassium and ammonium ions to treat expansive clay soils in remediation of damaged structures. The technique relies on reactions between the solution ions and the clay soil to adjust rheological properties of the clay. Mechanism by which potassium and ammonium treatment reduce swelling motions and pressures are …
