Moisture damage has been reported as one of the main forms of distress in asphalt mixtures
since the 1900s. The bond between asphalt aggregate constituents fails in the presence of …

Stripping is an important type of distress about which gaining thorough information can
improve the pavements design methods. A brief review of researches on the stripping …

In order to improve the road performance of asphalt mixture, the cohesion and adhesion of
asphalt mastic which is the most important component of asphalt mixture were studied. The …

The detrimental effects of water in asphalt mixtures and its manifestation as distresses in
asphalt pavements were first recognised in the 1930s and have been studied extensively …

Steel slag, as an industrial waste, is a potential alternative to replace aggregate in asphalt
mixture, but the interaction mechanism between asphalt and steel slag is still not …

Although it has been widely accepted that the asphalt-aggregate interface plays as one of
the most important roles for the durability of asphalt concrete, it is still a big challenge to …

Moisture damage in an asphalt mixture can be defined as the loss of strength, stiffness and
durability due to the presence of moisture leading to adhesive failure at the binder …

Although many fracture test procedures are available, the semi-circular bending (SCB) test
has drawn a growing interest in the pavement community due to its simplicity, reproducibility …

Conventional methods to quantify the moisture sensitivity of asphalt mixtures are based on
the comparison of mechanical properties of the mix before and after a moisture-conditioning …

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate if bond strength measurements obtained from the
Asphalt Bond Strength (ABS) test can be supported by cohesive and adhesive bond strength …
