Influencia de la sal en asfaltos y mezclas asfálticas : revisión

Abstract

Asphalt mixtures and asphalts are part of the pavements in road infrastructures, the road safety of these depends on their composition and maintenance if necessary. Among the options, it exists from throwing the substance directly on the pavement for an autonomous melting effect. However, there are investigations that show how salt affects asphalt and its mixtures through laboratory tests, evidencing its influence and consequences. In Colombia there is road infrastructure in the coastal areas, this implies the environmental effects of the area such as salt in the wind and seawater, affecting the asphalt or the mixture and therefore reducing the service time of the structure. The purpose of this project lies in the exercise of investigation of publications regarding the effects of salt in asphalt mixtures and the asphalt surface, particularly seeking emphasis in coastal areas with warm climates (salt from wind and seawater), thus generating a compilation document with recommendations for future phases of study.
