Moisture susceptibility is assessed using tests like the Tensile Strength Ratio (TSR) test, which measures the strength of specimens before and after moisture conditioning. Other tests include the Boiling Water Test, Immersion Compression Test, and Wheel Tracking Test under wet conditions. These tests evaluate the potential for stripping and the asphalt’s ability to resist moisture-induced damage.
