Abstract: The detrimental effects of water in asphalt mixtures and its manifestation as distresses in asphalt pavements were first recognised in the 1930s and have been studied extensively during the last 35 years. This deterioration process, referred to as moisture damage, is generally defined as the degradation of the mechanical properties of the material due to the presence of moisture in its microstructure. Moisture damage is a complex phenomenon that involves thermodynamic, chemical, physical and mechanical processes. This paper describes the processes by which moisture damage affects asphalt mixtures. A critique of various moisture damage mechanisms is presented, followed by a review of recent work on modes of moisture transport (i.e. water permeability, capillary rise and vapour diffusion) and their relationship to moisture damage. Special attention is given to the characterisation of void structures of asphalt mixtures, which is an important factor that influences moisture transport. Finally, the paper pres...

TL;DR: In this article, a promising variant of genetic programming, namely, gene expression programming (GEP), is utilized to predict the flow number of dense asphalt-aggregate mixtures.
Abstract: Rutting has been considered the most serious distress in flexible pavements for many years. Flow number is an explanatory index for the evaluation of the rutting potential of asphalt mixtures. In this study, a promising variant of genetic programming, namely, gene expression programming (GEP), is utilized to predict the flow number of dense asphalt-aggregate mixtures. The proposed constitutive models relate the flow number of Marshall specimens to the coarse and fine aggregate contents, percentage of air voids, percentage of voids in mineral aggregate, Marshall stability, and Marshall flow. Different correlations were developed using different combinations of the influencing parameters. The comprehensive experimental database used for the development of the correlations was established on the basis of a series of uniaxial dynamic-creep tests conducted in this study. Relative importance values of various predictor variables were calculated to determine their contributions to the flow number prediction. A multiple-least-squares-regression (MLSR) analysis was performed to benchmark the GEP models. For more verification, a subsequent parametric study was carried out, and the trends of the results were confirmed with the results of previous studies. The results indicate that the proposed correlations are effectively capable of evaluating the flow number of asphalt mixtures. The GEP-based formulas are simple, straightforward, and particularly valuable for providing an analysis tool accessible to practicing engineers.
