Abstract A comprehensive experimental study has been conducted primarily to characterize the effect of hydrated lime on a dynamic modulus of Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA). In this paper, five Superpave HMAs typically used in the State of North Carolina were modified with hydrated lime and evaluated with a series of uniaxial compressive complex modulus tests. And a new design method was proposed for lime modified HMAs based on their volumetric optimums. For a 9.5 mm surface mixture, three levels of lime addition methods were tested and their impacts on a dynamic modulus and phase angle were statistically analyzed. Finally, a resistance of lime modified HMA to moisture damage was demonstrated by comparing with unmodified HMA. Findings suggested that the inclusion of hydrated lime should make HMAs stiff especially at high frequencies and lower temperatures. The reduction of dynamic modulus due to moisture was smaller in lime modified HMAs than in un-modified HMA.
