In this study; the water damage problem and indirect tensile strengths were investigated for different hydrated lime additive ratios and different hydrated lime adding methods. In this regard, many identical briquettes modified with hydrated lime have been produced. HL was used both in the bituminous binder (wet method) and as part of the filler aggregate. The hydrated lime was added in two different ways to form the defined equivalent ratios. By producing nine identical briquettes in each option, the values of water damage and ITS in both unconditioned and modified mixtures were compared, and the level of significance differences between the identical briquettes and mixtures was questioned. Increasing the HL content increases the standard deviation between identical samples in terms of ITS. The workability of the mixture is adversely affected by the increase in the hydrated lime ratio. When HL is mixed into the asphalt cement (AC), the standard deviations of ITS values among identical samples remain lower due to the increase in mixing rates. Increasing the ratio of adding HL to the asphalt cement reduces the ITS ratios compared to the option of adding filler to aggregate. If HL is added to the mixture in low HL content, the water damage ratios show, on average, higher water damage resistance (15% higher) than the HL being added to the AC. However, if the HL content is increased to medium and high levels, mixing HL to AC creates higher water damage resistance than adding it as filler.

Stripping in asphalt mixtures is the one of foremost distress mechanisms. To prevent stripping, fatty acids (AS) and hydrated lime (HL) additives are often used as anti-stripping additives. The determination of the correct usage ratios of these additives and the storage stability of bitumen constitutes important research topics for anti-stripping additive applications. Three surfactants and hydrated lime were used in three ratios to evaluate the effect of additive ratio and type. Indirect tensile strength (ITS) values obtained from samples with one and three cycle modified Lottman conditioning and indirect tensile strength ratios (ITSRs) were interpreted in the context of water damage. The load-carrying capacity of the conditioned mixtures increased significantly. Even if the degree of damage was considerably increased at the end of three cycles, the integrity of the mixtures was maintained. Both AS and HL significantly increased water damage resistance. Modified Lottman conditioning has an observable level of damage. Additives remained functional and maintain their mechanisms of benefit, especially in the event of a high degree of damage.

In this study, the use of glass waste as aggregate in asphalt mixtures was investigated. Maximum glass aggregate size options of 0.075, 2.00, 4.75 and 9.5 mm. were selected. Conventional bitumen, nanoclay-modified bitumen and hydrated lime-modified bitumen were used. Dense graded asphalt mixtures were designed according to the Marshall method. Mixtures were evaluated for low-temperature cracking, resistance to water damage, fatigue, and permanent deformation behavior with repeated creep, indirect tensile strength, indirect tensile fatigue, modified Lottman and Hamburg wheel tracking tests. Increasing glass aggregate size reduced the water damage resistance of asphalt mixtures because of the smooth surface of the glass particles and nanoclay and hydrated lime modification improved the mechanical properties of the asphalt mixtures. Using 2.00 mm sized maximum glass aggregate showed relatively less water damage and deformation properties due to higher internal friction which is due to the greater angularity of the glass particles. In addition, there was a significant correlation between repeated creep test, modified Lottman methods and Hamburg Wheel tracking test from the viewpoint of deformation and water damage assessments.
