Minimizing Moisture Sensitivity

A Colorado Department of Transportation (DOT) survey showed some sort of antistrip treatment required by 82% of the nation's DOTs in response to the serious problem of asphalt pavement moisture damage (stripping). The article discusses issues such as adhesion failures, and physical property, testing, and construction considerations. Interested parties are directed to the Asphalt Institute's website, www.asphaltinstitute.org, for a copy of MS-24 "Moisture Sensitivity", for more information on asphalt pavement moisture sensitivity and necessary minimization steps.
