3. TERMINOLOGY<br />

3.1 Definitions for many terms to asphalt are found in the following documents:<br />

3.1.1 ASTM D8 Standard Definitions<br />

3.1.2 AASHTO MP1 Performance-Graded Asphalt Binder<br />

4. SUMMARY OF PRACTICE<br />

4.1 Compacted asphalt concrete test specimens are subjected to a water and<br />

temperature conditioning process. The water sensitivity characteristics of the compacted<br />

mixtures are determined based upon measurements of percent stripping, the environmental<br />

conditioning system (ECS) modulus, and the coefficients of permeability for air and water<br />

flow.<br />

5. SIGNIFICANCE AND USE<br />

5.1 The measured water sensitivity characteristics may be used to evaluate or<br />

characterize asphalt concrete mixtures.<br />

5.2 The water sensitivity characteristics of asphalt concrete mixtures can be used to<br />

determine their suitability for use as highway paving materials. This information may also be<br />

used to compare and select binders, modifiers, mixtures, additives, and aggregates for<br />

asphalt concrete.<br />
