• Abstract:
  This document presents a plan to implement the use of the protocols developed in this project for selection of materials and mixtures that are more resistant to moisture damage. The implementation plan will be based on achieving the following broad objectives: 1. Development of a database of surface free energy components for various different types of aggregates and asphalt binders used in the state of Texas. This database can be used by TxDOT to select aggregate and binder combinations that exhibit optimum resistance to moisture damage. 2. Incorporate the surface energy measurements made during this project into the larger data base developed during the implementation. 3. Impart training to TxDOT personnel to facilitate the use of equipment and testing protocols in the routine characterization of materials.
