Nanoscale Quantification of Moisture Susceptibility of Paving Asphalts
Moisture-induced damage due to stripping is one of the major concerns to the highway agencies in recent years. In this study, nanoscopic investigations were carried out to examine the effects of moisture in asphalt binders. An Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) was used to estimate the asphalt binder’s modulus and adhesion values, which were believed to be indicators of binder’s resistance to moisture damage. To this end, two Performance Grade (PG) binders and their modified counterparts using polyphosphoric acid (PPA), styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS), and SBS plus PPA were tested in this study. Test results show significant reductions of adhesion and modulus values after water immersion of the asphalt binders. AFM data also reveals that SBS-modified binders exhibit better moisture resistance compared to the base binder. Findings of this study are expected to help transportation professionals to achieve a better understanding of moisture damage of asphalt binders at a molecular level and their suitability in pavements.
