  5. Background  The wet HWTD test is widely used to identify asphalt mixes that are prone to rutting and moisture damage (Aschenbrener et al., 1993). ○ Confounding effects of loading and moisture (Lu, 2005; Mohammad et al. 2015, NCHRP-W219; Tsai et al., 2016; Swiertz et al., 2017). ○ Limited specifics are provided in AASHTO T324-17 for the analysis of results (Mohammad et al., 2017). 5

  6. Background  There is a need to separate Loading effects from Moisture effects  Option 1: Conducting the HWTD test under both dry and wet . “The moisture sensitivity related performance can be determined by subtracting the rutting response curve of a dry HWTD test from that of a wet HWTD test. ” Lu, Q. Investigation of conditions for moisture damage in asphalt concrete and appropriate laboratory test methods. University of California Transportation Center, 2005. 6

  22. Proposal of a novel analysis method for wet HWT test ◆ Assumptions  The total rutting depth = the contribution from visco-plastic deformation + the moisture-induced damage.  But we need to discount the contribution from the post-compaction phase.  The inflection point of the curve (when the curvature changes from negative to positive. ) is where the water starts to affect.  Need an easier model and fit method. 22
