Creator:: Boudreau, Richard L.
Abstract:: Moisture damage has long been recognized as one of the most critical factors influencing the performance of asphalt concrete (AC) pavements. This moistureinduced damage occurs from either the physical separation of the asphalt film from the aggregate or the softening of the asphalt binder within the AC mixture in the...

Creator:: Al-Swailmi, Saleh H.
Abstract:: Environmental factors such as temperature, air, and water can have a profound effect on the durability of asphalt concrete mixtures. In mild climates where good quality aggregates and asphalt cement are available, the major contribution to deterioration may be due to traffic loading and the resultant distress is manifested in...

Creator:: Kanerva, Hannele K.
Abstract:: Low temperature cracking is attributed to tensile stresses induced in an asphalt concrete pavement that develop when the pavement is subjected to a cold temperature. Cracking results in poor ride quality and a reduction in service life of the pavement. Low temperature cracking has been predicted by regression equations, mechanistic...

Creator:: Jung, Duhwoe
Abstract:: Thermal distress in asphalt concrete pavements is a widespread problem around the world. Thermal cracking can be divided into two modes of distress: low temperature cracking and thermal fatigue cracking. Low temperature cracking results from extremely cold temperatures; thermal fatigue cracking results from daily temperature cycles. Low temperature cracking is...
