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...
This study involved the determination of the structural layer properties of
aggregate and asphalt surfaced pavements for use in the evaluation of pavement load
carrying capacity and the seasonal effects of moisture. This was achieved by the use
of Nondestructive Testing Methods (NDT) and backcalculation techniques. Pavement
surface deflection measurements...
