AP-T76/07 : Case Study and Test Method Review on Moisture Damage

This report presents an extensive literature review on case studies of moisture damage in pavements and moisture sensitivity testing methods available worldwide. It includes summaries of interviews with Australian practitioners. Case studies generally agree on the importance of prevention of moisture ingress and the necessity of a suitable moisture sensitivity test during the mix design stage. The AASHTO T283 test method (also known as 'modified Lottman') and variations on it are the most widely used methods at present.
