Predicting moisture-induced damage to asphaltic concrete: Field evaluation

R P Lottman

Open publisher page 90 citations

Abstract

This report contains the findings of the field evaluation phase of a study on moisture-induced damage (stripping) of asphaltic concrete pavements. A tentative test system for predicting moisture-damage was developed under a previous phase of the study and the findings were published as NCHRP Report 192. General verification of the prediction test system is described in this report. Because of the field verification, the prediction method is suitable for implementation. Materials engineers, research engineers, and others interested in improving the performance of asphaltic concrete pavements will find the report of interest and value.
