Title | Moisture Susceptibility of Asphalt Mixes: A Literature Review |
Publication Type | Communications in International Conferences |
Year of Publication | 2017 |
Authors | Diab A., Singh D., and Pais, J. |
Abstract | Moisture susceptibility of asphalt mixtures, generally called stripping, has been known as the biggest performance concern influencing the durability of asphalt pavements. Moisture induced damage of asphalt pavement is an extremely complicated mode of distress that leads to the loss of stiffness and structural strength of the mixture and eventually to the costly maintenance of the pavement structure. The main objective of this paper is to present a literature review of moisture susceptibility of asphalt mixes, to highlight the main aspects of this important topic. This review discusses different causes of moisture susceptibility, mechanisms, existing and suggested scenarios to evaluate the moisture susceptibility, and effective methods for controlling damage. As the moisture susceptibility is not well understood, this review would be useful to researchers to investigate this complex mechanism to a sufficient degree. |
