Bonding between layers is critical for the durability and performance of asphalt pavements. This study aims to analyze the bonding provided by different types of emulsions when one of the layers is thin. The results show that temperature has a significant influence on shear stress, with higher stress at lower temperatures.
Bonding between layers is a critical aspect in the durability and performance of asphalt pavements. The life of the pavement can be significantly reduced due to poor bonding between bituminous mix layers. For this reason, the analysis of the link between these layers is fundamental. Thus, the aim of this work is to analyse the bonding between layers, provided by different types of emulsions, when one of the layers is thin. The bond between these layers was studied by means of a monotonic shear adhesion test, with an analysis of the effect of the dosage, the temperature and ageing, and by means of a new cyclic shear test especially developed in this work. The results obtained show the great influence of temperature on the shear stress for any of the emulsions used, which in-creases as the temperature decreases, and how the differences between the three emulsions are reduced after ageing. As regards fatigue strength, the choice of the emulsion that will withstand a greater number of cycles will depend on the stresses that occur at the interface.
