Traditionally, moisture damage of asphalt concrete (AC) is evaluated by comparing the macroscale strength and stiffness values of a set of moisture- or vapor-conditioned samples with those of a set of unconditioned AC samples. The moisture damage of a bulk (liquid) asphalt binder is determined by the surface energy co…
