Moisture-induced strength degradation of aggregate-asphalt mastic bonds (2014)
Journal Article
Apeagyei, A. K., Grenfell, J., & Airey, G. (in press). Moisture-induced strength degradation of aggregate-asphalt mastic bonds. Road Materials and Pavement Design, 15(S1), https://doi.org/10.1080/14680629.2014.927951

A common manifestation of moisture-induced damage in asphalt mixtures is the loss of adhesion at the aggregate–asphalt mastic interface and/or cohesion within the bulk mastic. This paper investigates the effects of moisture on the aggregate–mastic in... Read More about Moisture-induced strength degradation of aggregate-asphalt mastic bonds.

Effective health care for older people resident in care homes: the optimal study protocol for realist review (2014)
Journal Article
