Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The reviewed manuscript presents a case study on the evaulation and technical requirements of initial anti-water performance of emulsified asphalt cold recycled mixture. The influence of different emulsifier, emulsifier dosage, asphalt dosage, cement dosage and mineral aggregate gradation on the initial 13 anti-wear performance of mixture was analyzed based on the experimental results and data variance analysis. Finally, a wear loss less than 3.5% was selected as basis for optimizing the design of emulsified asphalt cold recycled mixture. Overall, the results are interesting and will be valuable for engineering practises. Then discussions on the results are concise and clear. The following comments are listed for the authors to address:

1.  There are many grammar errors in the manuscript. Entensive editing of English language are required before being considered to be accepted. For example, grammer errors in Line 12, Line 37, Line 68-70, Line 122, Line 125, Line 280 should be removed.

2. It may be better to present the results shown in Tables 3~5, 7-14 by Figures. 

3. The last conclusion should be removed since it is not a specific finding.
