Resumen

Las capas de rodadura son las más expuestas al clima y al efecto del tráfico, especialmente en carreteras sometidas a mantenimiento invernal. Por este motivo, es importante conocer mejor los mecanismos de deterioro de dichas capas a la hora de mejorar su diseño, construcción y uso a largo plazo. Con este fin, dos tipos de mezclas asfálticas utilizadas en el NO de España fueron expuestas a ensayos de durabilidad (heladicidad y choque térmico) con una solución saturada de NaCl. Después, se realizó el ensayo de pista y el material deteriorado y deformado resultante fue analizado mediante microscopia óptica de luz polarizada y de fluorescencia. Dicho análisis mostró que el principal responsable de la degradación de la mezcla fue la baja adhesión árido-betún. Esta degradación se concentró en el árido debido a que el ligante actuó como una pared impermeable. En consecuencia, la solución de NaCl pudo penetrar y degradar rápida e intensamente el árido.
