“…The crystallisation, growth mechanism and strength properties of whiskers has attracted considerable attention (Kane 1962, Nabarro & Jackson 1958, Powell & McKibben 1970. There are several known properties and features of this type of crystal which may be fundamental in understanding the mechanism and prevention of salt damage.…”

The paper reviews current knowledge of damage by soluble salts to thin bituminous highway and runway surfacings in warm climates. It critically examines the various recommended maximum salt limits for materials in highway construction and reviews preventative and remedial practices.The study included a laboratory simulation of salt damage using climatic cabinets to identify the cause of salt damage to thin bituminous surfacing of a runway in the West Indies.The work shows the importance of linking relationships and influences of geology, hydrogeology and construction practice with material and salt types, migration and crystallization pressures, crystal properties, hydration/dehydration and climate in order to prevent damage occurring.The term soluble salt is generally used to describe those salts which are relatively soluble in water and

“…Earlier studies (Nabarro & Jackson 1958) have shown that NaCl whiskers were frequently associated with clay substratum and that they grew well on rough surfaces produced by rapid growth of the parent crystal. NaCl whiskers have grown on existing cubic crystals (Powell & McKibben 1970).…”
