Abstract

Aggregate-mastic bond is of crucial importance for asphaltic mix response to loading and its moisture induced damage susceptibility. However, in reality, very little is known about what constitutes the bond between mastic and aggregate and what effect moisture may have on it. For this reason, in this contribution, a new methodology is developed which allows for the determination of the aggregate-mastic bond strength degradation as a function of the amount of moisture present in the interface. This is a relationship which can be directly implemented within the finite element tools which have been developed at Delft University of Technology for the simulation of moisture induced damage in asphaltic mixes. The paper presents the methodology and gives some of the experimental results.
