It is shown adhesive failure, bitumen stripping off the aggregate that moisture damage is one of the primary factors surface and cohesive failure which is due to the loss of affecting the durability of the mixtures. Moisture mixture stiffness. Moisture-related problems do not damage is basically a combined result of two occur without the presence of water and traffic, which mechanisms: a) Loss of adhesion between the bitumen provides energy to break the adhesive bonds and cause and aggregate interface and b) Loss of cohesion in the cohesive failures. Repeated freeze-thaw cycles can also mixture along with several other factors like the accelerate the distress in the pavement. changes in binders, aggregates qualities and something Since the performance of Asphalt mixtures under else. the affect of moisture is a very complex issue, various The aim of this study is therefore to examine the researches have been made to simulate the moisture moisture sensitivity, of different combinations of five damage in the past years. Asphalt technologists have different kinds of aggregate quarries/sources and six carried out many attempts to develop laboratory tests to binder types of different penetration grade and distinguish between good and poor performing properties, and compare the performance of these bituminous mixes in regard to moisture damage dating combinations between four laboratory tests: Static back to the 1920s and classified the tests to identify the Immersion Test, Total Water Immersion Test (TWIT) moisture damage resistance of an asphalt mixture into Test, Boiling TWIT Test and Rolling Bottle Test. The two major categories: those on loose mixtures and tests have been carried out at the Taxila Institute of those on compacted mixtures.
