The article discusses the effect of adhesive additives on the performance properties of asphalt concrete. The authors give a comprehensive overview of the problem of durability of asphalt concrete layers, in particular in the autumn-spring period, emphasizing the importance of this issue for traffic safety. Then they discuss the role of adhesive additives in improving the performance of asphalt concrete by improving its physical and mechanical properties. The authors selected a number of adhesive additives, and also carried out the selection of asphalt concrete mixture according to the methodology of volumetric and functional design. The article contains a detailed description of the method for determining water resistance and adhesive properties. The authors also consider the effect of adhesive additives on the fatigue life of asphalt concrete. The text of the article provides a detailed description of the method for determining fatigue strength during repeated bending. In conclusion, the article emphasizes the importance of using adhesive additives to improve the performance and durability of asphalt concrete. The authors emphasize the importance of the study for extending the service life of asphalt concrete layers and increasing their repair time.

The influence of surfactants, in particular adhesive and reducing additives, on the low-temperature and rheological properties of road bitumen is considered. Tests of the low-temperature properties of road bitumen with and without the use of appropriate additives were carried out, followed by a comparison of the results. Also, in order to assess the effect of the above surfactants on the ability of road bitumen to retain its properties over time, a comparative analysis of bitumen samples subjected to the aging process was carried out. In general, the results of this study indicate that the use of surfactants can lead to an increase in the durability of road bitumen, even at low temperatures.
