Abstract: Moisture damage in asphalt mixtures is defined as the gradual loss of structural integrity caused by the presence of moisture. A simple experimental procedure was developed in this study to measure water vapor diffusion ...

Abstract: Most current modeling techniques assume that pavement layers are homogeneous. This assumption can be considered one of the main sources of uncertainty in the performance of pavement structures. The main objective of this ...

Abstract: The combined effect of moisture and mechanical loading on asphalt mixtures has been recognized as one of the main causes of premature deterioration of flexible pavements. This paper presents a micromechanical model of ...
