Stone matrix asphalt (SMA) mixtures are the most resistant type of asphalt mixtures today in which the aggregate skeleton bears the bulk load. In this study, the effect of nano hydrated lime (NHL) on the moisture sensitivity of SMA mixtures was investigated. To examine the effect of NHL, the surface free energy (SFE) method and the dynamic modulus (DM) test were applied under wet and dry conditions on mixtures constructed with limestone and granite aggregates. The SFE results indicated that the granite aggregates had a greater polar component and limestone aggregates had a higher non-polar component which shows their higher moisture resistance. The adhesion free energy (AFE) results showed that the adhesion of base bitumen and limestone aggregate was higher, and using NHL improved the AFE values. The results of DM tests indicated that as the load cycles raised, the wet to dry DM ratio reduced and using NHL increased this ratio. The reduction slope of the DM ratio in samples constructed with granite aggregates showed a faster trend compared to limestone aggregates, and using NHL improved the resistance of SMA mixtures constructed with granite aggregates to moisture more than limestone aggregates.
