Test Method for Identifying Moisture Susceptible Asphalt Concrete Mixes. Evaluation of Environmental Conditioning System (ECS) for Predicting Moisture Damage Susceptibility of HMAC
Moisture damage is a common problem faced by various highway agencies. Researchers have developed laboratory test methods over the years to identify moisture suceptible asphalt concrete mixtures. However, none of them has been successful in consistently discriminating moisture susceptible asphalt concrete mixtures. Under the Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) the Environmental Conditioning System was developed. A comprehensive study of the test setup showed that it is a promising concept that needs further modification and evaluation. In this report, several modifications to the original Environmental Conditioning System are proposed. Results from preliminary evaluation of the system are also included. The new system has been better able to discriminate between poor and marginal mixtures.
