Book Description
Asphalt materials experience substantial amounts of environmental damage throughout their lives as surface layers in pavements. One of the most prominent forms of environmental damage, moisture-induced damage, is caused by the weakening of internal bonds of the material because of the presence of moisture in the voids of asphalt mixtures and is a common problem for asphalt pavements in wet climates. Moisture-induced damage is typically accounted for during asphalt mixture design by conducting performance tests to ensure the material is not susceptible to severe damage from moisture, although many of these methods have seen mixed amounts of success historically. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the ability of multiple asphalt mixture moisture susceptibility tests to identify good and poor performing mixtures with respect to moisture-induced damage to replace current mix design testing requirements. Ten plant-produced hot mix asphalt materials with established good and poor field moisture performance were subjected to various moisture susceptibility test methods. The results from these procedures are assessed to determine which procedure is most effective and practical as a moisture susceptibility test for routine usage during asphalt mixture design for transportation agencies. Results from this study suggest that performance tests with stiffness-based measurements, such as dynamic modulus paired with moisture conditioning and the saturated aging tensile stiffness procedure, show better correlation to field performance than traditional test methods such as AASHTO T-283, Standard Method of Test for Resistance of Compacted Asphalt Mixtures to Moisture-Induced Damage, and that the Hamburg wheel tracker test is the most effective and practical test method to reliably identify mixtures prone to experiencing moisture-induced damage.

Book Description
This volume highlights the latest advances, innovations, and applications in bituminous materials and structures and asphalt pavement technology, as presented by leading international researchers and engineers at the RILEM International Symposium on Bituminous Materials (ISBM), held in Lyon, France on December 14-16, 2020. The symposium represents a joint effort of three RILEM Technical Committees from Cluster F: 264-RAP “Asphalt Pavement Recycling”, 272-PIM “Phase and Interphase Behaviour of Bituminous Materials”, and 278-CHA “Crack-Healing of Asphalt Pavement Materials”. It covers a diverse range of topics concerning bituminous materials (bitumen, mastics, mixtures) and road, railway and airport pavement structures, including: recycling, phase and interphase behaviour, cracking and healing, modification and innovative materials, durability and environmental aspects, testing and modelling, multi-scale properties, surface characteristics, structure performance, modelling and design, non-destructive testing, back-analysis, and Life Cycle Assessment. The contributions, which were selected by means of a rigorous international peer-review process, present a wealth of exciting ideas that will open novel research directions and foster new multidisciplinary collaborations.

Book Description
This STAR on asphalt materials presents the achievements of RILEM TC 206 ATB, acquired over many years of interlaboratory tests and international knowledge exchange. It covers experimental aspects of bituminous binder fatigue testing; the background on compaction methods and imaging techniques for characterizing asphalt mixtures including validation of a new imaging software; it focuses on experimental questions and analysis tools regarding mechanical wheel tracking tests, comparing results from different labs and using finite element techniques. Furthermore, long-term rutting prediction and evaluation for an Austrian road are discussed, followed by an extensive analysis and test program on interlayer bond testing of three different test sections which were specifically constructed for this purpose. Finally, the key issue of manufacturing reclaimed hot mix asphalt in the laboratory is studied and recommendations for laboratory ageing of bituminous mixtures are given.
