A Study of Adhesion in Foamed WMA Binder-Aggregate Systems Using Boiling Water Stripping Tests

The paper investigates the phenomena of adhesion in binder-aggregate systems produced to reflect warm-mix asphalt with water-foamed bitumen. The investigated materials included limestone and quartzite aggregates and a total of four asphalt binders: 50/70 and 45/80–55 bituminous binders obtained from...
