Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>Characterization of the drying process of porous asphalt (PA) is done using neutron radiography; showing that drying of PA follows two distinct phases with a first more rapid moisture loss followed by a slower moisture loss in presence of disconnected fluid pockets. Moisture content distribution would not be obtainable with traditional methods such as recording the mass versus time. <boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg3t12p1b4" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
