14.5.2.1. Loss of Bond

Try these first

1. 1.

   What does loss of bond refer to in bituminous materials?

   Hint

   Think about what happens when glue doesn't stick.

2. 2.

   What is stripping in the context of asphalt pavements?

   Hint

   It’s like peeling paint off a wall.

3. 3.

   What is the primary cause of the loss of bond in asphalt pavements?

   • High Traffic Load
   • Moisture Intrusion
   • Color of Binder

   Hint

   Think about what happens when water interacts with glue.

4. 4.

   True or False: Loss of bond can lead to pot holes.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Consider how pavement surface stability is affected by its components.

5. 5.

   Evaluate a pavement type that has shown significant loss of bond. Propose multi-faceted solutions to mitigate this issue.

   Hint

   Analyze both material factors and environmental conditions.

6. 6.

   Create a case study of a roadway that experienced loss of bond. Detail the sequence of events, contributing factors, and outcomes.

   Hint

   Look for existing studies that match these criteria.
