The Effect of Aggregate-Forming Minerals on Thermodynamic Parameters Using Surface Free Energy Concept and Its Relationship with the Moisture Susceptibility of Asphalt Mixtures

Moisture damage is known to be a key factor influencing the durability of asphalt pavements. This phenomenon will reduce the mechanical properties of asphalt mixtures due to its destructive effects on the adhesion of the bitumen-aggregate system and the cohesion of the bitumen membrane. The mineral...
