Introduction
In road safety, fighting with snow and ice has an important
place.
In cold climatic regions, various techniques are used to
combat icing problem.
The use of anti-icing and de-icer is one of the most commonly
used methods.
Generally, sodium chloride, potassium acetate, magnesium
chloride and sodium acetate are used.

Scope
Various modifiers are used to improve the performance of
asphalt pavements.
Nano clay is innovative additive used in asphalt mixtures.
In this study,
Effects of de-icers on the asphalt mixture performance,
Effect of nanoclay modification on the cracking and stripping behavior
of the asphalt mixture was investigated.

2% nanoclay modified mixture
4% nanoclay modified mixture
Nanoclay was added to bitumen
according to bitumen weight.

Materials and methods (3)
AASHTO T283 conditioning system was applied
The briquettes were divided into 5 groups and different
options were used as the conditioning fluid.
The first group of samples was not conditioned.
The second group of samples was conditioned with pure water.
Third group: 25% sodium chloride (NaCl) solution
Fourth group: 50% magnesium chloride (MgCl2) solution
The fifth group: 50% potassium acetate (KAc) solution
Indirect tensile strength test was performed at 0˚C and 25˚C
test temperatures.

Conclusions
When the de-icer materials are used in conventional control
mixtures moisture damage distress problem increases but a
low level of damage increasing is concerned.
Nano-clay modification decreased moisture damage levels. In
case of nano clay modification these materials decreases
damage levels originated from de-icer solutions.
Damage decreasing levels are thought independently from
nano clay ratios.
3% nanoclay modification can be pleaded as a logical ratio.
