RESEARCH METHODS AND REQUIREMENTS IN DIFFERENT COUNTRIES %X Mineral aggregate and asphalt binder for asphalt mixes shall demonstrate physic-chemical affinity sufficient for required adhesion of asphalt binder and aggregate. In order to increase asphalt and aggregate affinity – agents that increase the adhesion should be used. The type and amount of adhesive agent should be correlated with given aggregate and asphalt binder. The tests was performed by four methods acc. with PN-EN 12697-11:2012 method A, method B, method C and PN-84/B-06714. In testes there were used aggregates with different SiO2 content (dolomite, limestone, basalt, gabbro, melaphyre, quartzite and post-glacial), different asphalt binders and different adhesive agents. The main aim of tests was to find correlation between different available methods for different asphalt binders and aggregates. %A Zięba, Monika %A Lewandowska, Weronika %P 215-226 %R 10.5277/mscma1622320 %U https://doi.org/10.5277/mscma1622320
