ASTM D4867/D4867M-09
(Test Method)Standard Test Method for Effect of Moisture on Asphalt Concrete Paving Mixtures
Standard Test Method for Effect of Moisture on Asphalt Concrete Paving Mixtures
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
This test method can be used to test asphalt concrete mixtures in conjunction with mixture design testing to determine the potential for moisture damage, to determine whether or not an antistripping additive is effective, and to determine what dosage of an additive is needed to maximize the effectiveness. This test method can also be used to test mixtures produced in plants to determine the effectiveness of additives under the conditions imposed in the field.
SCOPE
1.1 This test method covers procedures for preparing and testing asphalt concrete specimens for the purpose of measuring the effect of water on the tensile strength of the paving mixture. This test method is applicable to dense mixtures such as those appearing in the Table for Composition of Bituminous Paving Mixtures in Specification D 3515. This test method can be used to evaluate the effect of moisture with or without antistripping additives including liquids and pulverulent solids such as hydrated lime or portland cement.
1.2 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units in parentheses shall be regarded separately as standard. The values in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system must be used independently of the other, without combining values in any way.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

3. Summary of Test Method
3.1 Potential for Moisture Damage —The degree of susceptibility to moisture damage is determined by preparing a set of
laboratory-compacted specimens conforming to the job-mix formula without an additive. The specimens are compacted to a void
content corresponding to void levels expected in the field, usually in the 6 to 8% range. The set is divided into two subsets of
approximately equal void content. One subset is maintained dry while the other subset is partially saturated with water and
moisture conditioned. The tensile strength of each subset is determined by the tensile splitting test. The potential for moisture
damage is indicated by the ratio of the tensile strength of the wet subset to that of the dry subset.
