Yet within the asphalt industry there is little insight into the fundamental processes leading to water damage. Delft Ph.D. candidate Niki Kringos is about to change this, by modelling the damaging influence of water and traffic on asphalt. In her research she applied her model particularly to American asphalt mixtures.
