Abstract

Nowadays, a great amount of hazardous materials transported by road and this fact can be very important for the continuance of strong and effectivenational and international economies. On the other hand, this may cause risks for people health, for safety and for property. Well-defined hazardous material response policies, procedures and risk management can accurately identify the hazardous material, direct further response and minimize risks. In all these processes the road pavement can play a crucial role, butmany aspects still need answers on this topic. Two main objectives of this work have been the design, construction and validation of a device to test hot mix asphalt chemical resistance and the assessment of relationshipsin order to estimate how much a transported fluid can be dangerous depending on mix characteristics (effective porosity, etc.).This work can be useful in deciding the suitable typology of hot mix asphalt to use in areas when conditions of high vulnerability or/and high probability do occur.
