TL;DR: 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 as mentioned in this paper.
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: For example, this article found that most people used greenway trails for recreation but that trails differed in user types and activities based on location and policy, and that those who used trails for transportation scored trails as contributing more toward reducing pollution, reducing transportation costs and providing better access to work than did those who only used trails only for recreation.

TL;DR: In this article, the structure of turbulence in a spilling breaker has been studied experimentally based on the transport equation for turbulent kinetic energy (the k-equation), and it is found that diffusive transport plays the most important role in the distribution of turbulence, while advection is important mainly near the surface.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of sample size on the three most commonly used crash severity models: multinomial logit, ordered probit and mixed logit models were examined via a Monte-Carlo approach using simulated and observed crash data.

TL;DR: Results of likelihood ratio tests reveal that some of the factors affecting bicyclist injury severity at intersection and non-intersection locations are substantively different and using a common model to jointly estimate impacts on severity at both types of locations may result in biased or inconsistent estimates.
