Evaluation of Hot Mix Asphalt Moisture Sensitivity Using the Nottingham Asphalt Test Equipment, Phase II (TR-555)

Principal Investigator:

Chris Williams, rwilliam@iastate.edu (other projects)

Project Status: In Progress

Start Date: 04/01/2006
End Date: 07/31/2006


Research Objective: 1. Compare the test results for materials tested in both a moisture saturated environment and dry environment. The research plan will integrate a range of Iowa DOT asphalt mixtures.

2. Use the results obtained from the dynamic modulus and flow number tests to develop a new test protocol for determining moisture susceptibility.
