Moisture-induced damage in asphalt pavements poses a significant concern for road agencies, affecting both long-term performance and driving safety. Most road agencies have relied on the Modified Lottman (ML) test, following the AASHTO T 283 standard, to assess the moisture susceptibility of asphalt mixtures. However, researchers have questioned th
