Abstract:
Previous results have shown that treatment of gravel with a 1/150 dilution of an organofunctional silane in water (Union Carbide Corp., A-174) prior to the addition of asphalt, significantly reduces asphalt loss even in the presence of vigorous microbial activity. In the present study, it has been shown that the amount of moisture in/on gravel prior to treatment with silane does not affect the ability of the silane-treated gravel to retard stripping.
