ABSTRACT
This study aims to evaluate the effect of applying ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA) using the dry mixing method on the mechanical properties of the HMA and WMA mixtures on the mastic scale against moisture damage given various polymer contents; 2%, 5%, 6%, and 8% of bitumen weight. The tensile strength of dry hot and warm polymer-modified bituminous mastic was improved by 40% and 100% relative to the control mix, respectively, from the dosage of 0.6% EVA. Moreover, the fracture energy depicted a similar trend, with the gaps becoming 34% and 136%. Both parameters have shown increasing increment up to the dosage of 6%, beyond which the values declined. In contrast, the tensile strength ratio (TSR) and fracture energy ratio of the hot mastic mix was higher than the warm mix, while the increment of the ratio to control mix was less than that of the dry specimens. This indicates an insignificant influence of polymer on the adhesion bonding in the mastic upon being subjected to the moisture effect, especially in the warm mix. However, its impact on hot asphalt mastic specimens was still acceptable. The dosage of 6% can be depicted to give the best outcome in this study.
