To evaluate sensitivity of moisture damage resistance with chemical composition of asphalt, the adhesion energy, debonding energy as well as compatibility ratio of 69 asphalt-aggregate combinations were calculated with thermodynamical models. Pearson correlation analysis and regression analysis were...
