- Applying cutting-edge experimental and numerical techniques to better understand moisture-susceptibility phenomenon in asphalt mixtures, anomalous moisture transport and size-dependent diffusion coefficients were observed. Significant because current approaches for modelling damage in asphalt based on size-independent diffusion lead to errors, and used extensively by world-leading experts to develop crack propagation models in asphalts and moisture transport in porous materials such as zeolites (Al-Mansoori et al. 2017; Cammarata et al. 2018; Porot et al. 2018; Tian et al. 2019; Zhokh and Strizhak 2019) and in multiple high-profile grants (EPSRC, NNSC-China-51508150); National Key R&D Program under Grant No. 2016YFC0700302; NSFC Grant-51561135002;
