- Additional information
- This study is significant because it exploited recent advances in scanning electron microscopy and mineral liberation analysis to identify key mineral phases in moisture resistant and moisture sensitive aggregates which has provided important insights on the mechanisms underlying moisture-damage in asphalt mixtures. Moisture absorption of aggregates was dependent on certain key minerals including clay, anorthite and calcite. Identifying key mineral phases responsible for moisture-sensitivity is important in the design of durable highways. As well as leading international collaboration (e.g. Shandong University), leading experts in the field including professional bodies and learned societies have used the research to define best practice.
