- The study developed novel experimental and numerical techniques to describe the mechanism of moisture-induced damage, highlighting weaknesses in existing knowledge and proposing new techniques for assessing moisture-damage based on interfacial moisture diffusion. Significant because of the combination fundamental adhesion theories and advanced experimental techniques employed, the paper provided new insights such as the excellent correlation between interfacial moisture uptake and adhesive strength degradation in susceptible asphalts. The work has subsequently been used extensively by world-leading experts (Nageswaran et al. 2019, Xu et al. 2017, Kollmann et al. (2019), Dave et al. 2018) to modify technical standards and authoritative guidelines.
