Improvement of Moisture Susceptibility for Asphalt Mixture with Ceramic Fiber

Moisture damage is one of the most significant troubles that destroy asphaltic pavement and reduces road serviceability. Recently, academics have noticed a trend to utilize fibers enhance efficiency asphalt pavement. This research explores effect low-cost ceramic fiber, which has high tensile strength very thermal insulation coefficient, on mixture's characteristics by adding three different proportions (0.75%, 1.5%, 2.25%). The Marshall test Tensile Strength Ratio Test (TSR) were utilized describe impact fiber moisture susceptibility hot mix mixture. Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM) analysis was used investigate fibers' microscopic structure clarify mechanics their improved behavior distribution within concrete results showed incorporation properties with an optimum content equal where stability increased 39.04%, TSR 11.06% at this compared control
