Highlights Moisture, salt, and temperature change alters surface morphology of asphalt binder. CaCl2 concentration affects the work of debonding in binder-aggregate systems. CaCl2 salt negatively affected binder-aggregate pull off strength.
Abstract Frigid weather and freezing road conditions in cold regions result in reduced pavement surface friction, compromised vehicle maneuverability, leading to deteriorated transportation safety. Given their effectiveness and low cost, using chloride-based deicing agents such as CaCl2 has become a standard winter maintenance strategy for many highway agencies. However, coupled with freeze–thaw (F-T) cycles, CaCl2 can adversely affect the durability of asphalt pavements and cause complex distresses such as moisture-induced damage, among others. Despite this fact, the mechanisms and the extent of the damage made to the asphalt binder-aggregate interface due to use of chloride salts are not well-understood. This study was undertaken to characterize the mechanisms by which different eutectic concentrations of aqueous CaCl2 solutions and F-T cycles affect the adhesion between asphalt binder and different aggregates through a multi-scale characterization and testing program. Given the rise in use of polymer-modified asphalt binder a PG 64–34 asphalt binder and aggregates of granite, quartzite, and limestone mineralogies were evaluated. More specifically, pull-off strength of the aggregate-binder systems subjected to different aqueous concentrations of CaCl2 and F-T cycles were determined. In addition, surface free energy method as a thermodynamic-based approach was employed to determine the effect of salt concentration on the adhesion and debonding energies, and the moisture-induced damage potential of the binder-aggregate interfaces. Furthermore, atomic force microscopy was employed to evaluate the effect of salt concentration and F-T cycles on surface morphology, nanostructure, and adhesion of the asphalt binder. The applied multi-scale characterization provided invaluable information about the physio-chemical phenomena responsible for the accelerated damage in asphalt binder-aggregate interface when subjected to different aqueous concentrations of CaCl2. Gaining an accurate understanding of the damage mechanism is necessary for developing new materials and methods for combatting salt-accelerated moisture-induced damage in cold regions as a result of winter maintenance operations.
