Title: MOSITURE MONITORING (DISCUSSION)
Accession Number: 00377900
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: Existing moisture monitoring is related to the amount of moisture available. At best, this monitoring is only indirectly associated with the rate of moisture loss. The rate of moisture loss, could be the significant variable but, unfortunately, it is difficult to measure. Also, existing moisture controls in most specifications are mainly associated with workability. Some specifications, however, have dealt with durability. From a viewpoint of pavement performance, durability is an important consideration. It appears possible that latitude should be given regarding moisture specifications for achieving a desired workability, but the trade-off on durability, if the trade-off exists, needs to be known. In this regard the application of moisture damage tests now found in the current literature may be useful. (Author)
