Theorographic conditions of Spain, with a large length of high mountain roads and others atsea level; and winter weather events, with low temperatures, wind, water, ice, snow,…,which cause deposits of particles, filler, soils, small metals, or sea salt on the pavementsurface, can be dangerous in the circulation of vehicles.One of the traditional methods for maintaining wheel-pavement adhesion is to apply fluxproducts, mainly salt (sodium chloride, NaCl) and calcium chloride (Cl2Ca), solidly orhumidified (salt brine). This chemical fluxes have the property of preventing the formationof ice as antifreeze, or facilitating their melting if it has already formed.This research studies the influence of salt in the surface layer of pavement made of hot mixasphalt with conventional binder. The effect of the salt is analyzed under three differentconditions: immerse the specimens in salt water; add salt as aggregate in the manufactureof the mix; and submerging the natural aggregate in water with several amounts of salt, dryit and then manufactured the mixture with it. The mechanical parameters of the mixturehave been analyzed in the laboratory: density, air voids, adhesion, indirect tensile strengthand plastic deformation. To do this, Marshall test, Water Sensitivity Test (ITSR) andWheel Tracking Test have been performed.The properties of hot mix asphalt do not decrease significantly when it is manufactured ofsalt added as aggregate, neither when it is submerged in salt water. The bituminous mixtureoffers negative results when it is manufactured with natural aggregate submerged in waterwith salt previously, because the adhesion between the aggregate and the binder is low.
