Investigation of aggregate moisture content variation and its impact on pavement performance of WMA

For warm mix asphalt (WMA), aggregates cannot be completely dried due to the low heating temperature, which further adversely affects the pavement performance. This study aimed to (1) analyze the effect of particle size, heating temperature and heating time on the variation in the moisture content in aggregates, (2) compare the interaction ability between warm mix asphalt binders and aggregates with different moisture contents from a rheological...
