Summary Report on Water Sensitivity
The report addressed the current evaluation procedures for the loss of strength that occurs in the presence of moisture due to the loss of cohesive strength in the asphalt film and the failure of the asphalt-aggregate bond, which leads ultimately to premature failure of the pavement. The study has identified a promising methodology for the development of a performance-related accelerated test which will simulate the field conditions to which asphalt concrete is exposed. In addition, a working hypothesis proposes that there is a 'pessimum' range of voids in asphalt concrete that is a major cause of moisture damage in conventional mixtures. The hypothesis also considers other performance factors--fatigue, thermal cracking, and aging.
