ABSTRACT
According to surface energy theory and adhesion-peeling model, Wilhelmy plate method and
sessile drop method are respectively used to test the surface free energy parameters of asphalt
and aggregates so that adhesion work and peeling work can be calculated. ER is an evaluation
product based on adhesion work and peeling work, which can reflect the moisture susceptibility
of asphalt mixture because of its good correlation with macroscopic index. The higher ER is, the
better the mixture performs. Results show that short-term aging, contrary to long-term aging,
improves the moisture susceptibility of asphalt mixture; soaking will decrease the anti-stripping
ability; freezing has no effect on moisture susceptibility, but additional high temperature thawing
process will reduce the resistance to water damage. Anti-stripping ability of asphalt mixture is
improved with the increasing of surface roughness; an increase in surface water and clay content
is detrimental to moisture susceptibility.
1. INTRODUCTION
Because of its short construction period, improved driving comfort and safety, asphalt
pavement has become more and more popular. However, moisture induced damage (Huang,
2006; Wang, 2010) of asphalt pavement can seriously lower its service performance. Water
comes into the interface of asphalt and aggregates, which makes asphalt fall off from aggregates,
and then asphalt mixture becomes loose, resulting in pit and groove under the traffic loads.
Besides the external factors including load and water, moisture induced damage also depends on
the moisture susceptibility of asphalt mixture.
At present, many methods and indexes (Hansen, 1991; Brown, et al. 1972; Lynn, et al. 1993;
Ronald, et al. 1994; James, 1991) have been put forward, such as water-boiling method, soaking
method, and freeze thaw split test. However, these methods and indexes all evaluate the
performance from the macroscopic aspect, ignoring the process and mechanism of moisture
damage. Some researchers found that surface energy theory (Cheng, 2002) and its test methods
can well explain the moisture susceptibility of asphalt mixture. According to the surface energy
theory, the adhesion between asphalt and aggregates mainly depends on their wetting function.
When the asphalt diffuses and wets the surface of aggregates, some energy will be released,
which depends on the intimate contact and mutual attraction of asphalt and aggregates. It is
easier for water to intrude into the asphalt-aggregate interface because the adhesion between
water and aggregates is lager, which will lead to the water damage of asphalt pavement.
Therefore, surface energy theory and its test methods are used in this paper to evaluate the
adhesion and peeling characteristics of asphalt mixture. Furthermore, moisture susceptibility and
its influence factors can be explored according to the parameters of surface energy.

2. METHODOLOGY
2.1 Theory of adhesion between asphalt and aggregates
Downloaded from ascelibrary.org by RMIT UNIVERSITY LIBRARY on 01/04/19. Copyright ASCE. For personal use only; all rights reserved.
2.1.1 Cohesiveness of asphalt
Cohesiveness of asphalt is the ability of creating relative displacement to resist the
deformation under the external force, which is produced by both asphalt and aggregates.
Although the cohesiveness is not as large as the interlocking and the adhesion, it still plays an
important role in the moisture susceptibility. Research shows that the larger the viscosity is, the
higher the cohesiveness is, accompanied with improved moisture susceptibility (Lai, 2004; Yan,
1997).
According to surface physical chemistry (Zhu, 1996), homogeneous asphalt can be divided
into two new surfaces, and the work done by external force is defined as cohesiveness work,
which is denoted by G .
G 2

Where G is cohesiveness work, mJ/m ; is surface energy of asphalt, mJ/m .
2.1.2 Adhesion between asphalt and aggregates
According to surface energy theory, adhesion between asphalt and aggregates mainly comes
from energy interaction, which is formed by asphalt wetting aggregates. When the asphalt
diffuses and wets the surface of aggregates, some energy will be released, which depends on the
intimate contact and mutual attraction of asphalt and aggregates. According to thermodynamics,
the energy can indicate the stability of the whole system. The more energy is released, the stabler
the system is, which means the adhesion and thus the water stabilty are better. When asphalt
mixture is immersed into water, it is easier for water to intrude into the asphalt-aggregate
interface because the adhesion between water and aggregates is lager, forming asphalt-water
interface and water-aggregate interface, which results in the peeling of asphalt.
Dr. Lytton et al. from Texas A&M University show that surface energy can characterize the
adhesion of asphalt mixture, and it is also feasible to predict the anti-stripping ability of asphalt
(Lytton, 2002).
2.2 Parameters of surface energy
According to surface physical chemistry (Teng, 2009), the surface energy of liquid or solid
can be calculated with Van der Waals parameter LW and acid-base interaction parameter AB ,
while AB consists of acid parameter and base parameter , and their relationship is shown
in Eq. (2).
LW AB ; AB 2
Where LW is Van der Waals Force between molecules (including orientation force,
induction force and dispersion force); AB is Lewis acid-base force (including ionic bond and
covalent bond); and are electron acceptor and electron donor, respectively.

2.3 Adhesion and peeling model

2.3.1 Adhesion model of asphalt and aggregates
Adhesion work refers to the decrease of interfacial free energy caused by adhesion of asphalt
to aggregates. Fowkes thinks that the adhesion work of an interface is the sum of all adhesion
work cause by interaction among molecules. Combined with Van der Waals theory and Lewis
acid-base theory mentioned in surface physical chemistry, adhesion work can be expressed by
Eq. (3) when minor force is ignored (Xiao, 2007).

Was WasLW WasAB
Where Was is adhesion work; a means asphalt; s means stone; as means the interface of
asphalt and aggregates; WasLW is the adhesion work caused by Van der Waals force; WasAB is the
adhesion work caused by Lewis acid-base force.
By substituting the surface energy parameters into Eq. (3) combining with the adhesion
process, the adhesion work can be calculated by Eq. (4). The larger it is, the better adhesion
performance is.

2.3.2 Peeling model of asphalt and aggregates
Water intrudes into the interface of asphalt and aggregates instead of asphalt film with the
repeated action of wheel load. Peeling means that asphalt is separated from aggregates and two
new interfaces are formed, that is asphalt-water and water-aggregate. The energy released in this
process is defined as peeling work. It includes the part of Van der Waals force and the part of
Lewis acid-base force, which can be expressed by Eq. (5).

Where Wasw is peeling work; asw means the process of peeling.
By substituting the surface energy parameters into Eq. (5) combining with the peeling
process, the peeling work can be calculated by Eq. (6). The larger it is, the worse ability of antistripping is

Index of moisture susceptibility based on adhesion-peeling model
According to adhesion-peeling model, adhesion work and peeling work will both increase
with the increasing of surface energy parameters and the moisture susceptibility depends on both
of them. Bhasin (Bhasin, 2006) from Texas A&M University has put forward the indexes to
evaluate the moisture susceptibility of asphalt mixture based on adhesion and peeling work
through comprehensive experiments, which are shown in Eq. (7)~(8).

ER1 Was / Wasw
ER2 Was G / Wasw

Where Was is adhesion work; Wasw is peeling work; G is cohesiveness work.
ER2 (ER for short) is used in this paper because of its consideration for cohesiveness work.

mixture. The influence factors are also analyzed and the simulation conditions are explained as
follows.
Thermal aging: 163°C TFOT is used to simulate short-term and long-term aging, and the
duration is 5h and 29h (5h+24h), respectively.
Soaking: the asphalt samples are soaked in water for 1d, 3d, 5d, 7d, 14d, 28d, and then dried
before test.
Freezing: the asphalt samples are frozen for 16h at -18°C, and soaked in the water at 25°C,
and then dried.

Thawing: the frozen samples are soaked in the water for 0.5h at 60°C, and soaked in the
water at 25°C, and then dried.
Surface roughness: the basalt is polished with waterproof abrasive papers of 180#, 240#,
320#, and then cleaned and dried.
Surface clay content: the aggregate is buried for some days in the dust particles whose
diameter is less than 0.075mm, and then brushed until its clay content meets the requirement.
Surface water content: the clean aggregate is soaked in the distilled water for 1d, dried at
25°C, weighed every minute, and tested immediately after its water content meets the
requirement.
4. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
4.1 Relationship of ER and TSR
To explore the relationship between macroscopic index and ER based on surface energy
theory, freeze thaw split tests of 70# and SBS asphalt mixture are undertaken. The type of the
mixture is AC-13 and the results are shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1. Relationship of ER and TSR.
There is good correlation between ER and macroscopic index (Figure 1). ER is incrased with
higher TSR. Thus it is feasible to use ER to evaluate the moisture susceptibility of asphalt
mixture.
4.2 Influence factors based on surface energy of asphalt
4.2.1 Types of asphalt
The surface energy of different asphalts and the parameters of basalt mixture are shown in
Table 3.
The moisture susceptibility of 70#+Baoli is better than that of high viscosity and 70#+PR.S,
and the performance of 70# is the worst. The trend of ER is the same as the surface energy of
asphalt. When the aggregate is determined, the larger is, the better moisture susceptibility is.

ER after short-term aging is generally larger than that of the original samples, which means
the moisture susceptibility after short-term aging is better. However, the changing trend of ER
after long-term aging is not the same. The moisture susceptibility of 70#+PR.S is better than the
original one, while the others are worse. In summary, short-term aging improves moisture
susceptibility and long-term aging is the opposite.
4.2.3 Soaking
Parameters of 70# and basalt after different soaking time are shown in Table 6. During water
immersion, the cohesiveness work of asphalt and the adhesion work of asphalt-aggregate are
kept constant at 29.46 mJ/m2 and -44.83 mJ/m2, respectively.

The peeling work is increased after soaking, while ER is reduced with longer soaking time.
This means the anti-stripping ability will get worse after longer water immersion, and moisture
damage is more prone to happen. So it is important to reduce the contact time of asphalt mixture
with water.
4.2.4 Freezing and thawing
The peeling work and ER of 70# and basalt under freezing and thawing condition are shown
in Table 7. During freezing and thawing, the cohesiveness work of asphalt and the adhesion
work of asphalt-aggregate are kept constant at 29.46 mJ/m2 and -44.83 mJ/m2, respectively.

There is insignificant variation in ER after freezing, which means freezing has little influence
on the moisture susceptibility. However, ER after freezing and thawing decreases substantially,
and is even worse than the soaking effect.

4.3 Influence factors based on surface energy of aggregates
4.3.1 Types of aggregates
Downloaded from ascelibrary.org by RMIT UNIVERSITY LIBRARY on 01/04/19. Copyright ASCE. For personal use only; all rights reserved.
The parameters of different aggregates and SBS are shown in Table 8. The cohesiveness
work of SBS is still 31.34 mJ/m2.

Different types of aggregates have a certain impact on the moisture susceptibility of asphalt
mixture with the order of signifcance as limestone > sandstone > basalt = granite > diabase. The
surface energy and the base parameter of limestone and sandstone are larger, resulting in the
better adhesion and anti-stripping ability.
4.3.2 Surface roughness
The adhesion work, peeling work and ER of SBS and basalt with different surface roughness
are shown in Table 9. The cohesiveness work of SBS is 31.34 mJ/m2.

With the increase in water-sand number, the surface roughness and ER become smaller.
That’s because the adhesion work and the peeling work both increases, but the adhesion work
increases more sharply.
When the number of water-sand is larger than 240#, ER will stay invariant. Therefore, to
some extent, larger surface roughness and surface area can improve the moisture susceptibility of
asphalt mixture.
4.3.3 Surface clay content
The adhesion work, peeling work and ER of SBS and basalt with different surface clay
content are shown in Table 10. The cohesiveness work of SBS is 31.34 mJ/m2.
With the increase in surface clay content, ER is reduced, which means the mud around the
aggregates can decrease moisture susceptibility because the adhesion work is decreased while the
peeling work is increased. So it is very important to reduce the surface clay content of aggregates

content are shown in Table 11. The cohesiveness work of SBS is 31.34 mJ/m2.

Higher surface water content leads to smaller ER, which means the water around the
aggregates can decrease moisture susceptibility. Water can avoid the reaction between asphalt
molecules and aggregates, the adhesion work and the peeling work both decrease. However, the
adhesion work decreases more sharply, leading to the reduction of anti-stripping ability. Thus,
aggregates must be dried in construction practice.
