During a compaction of bitumen emulsion-based materials for pavement structural layers, and after it is finished, free water is released as a consequence of emulsion breaking. Thereafter, water steadily migrates through porous media of the specimen and evaporates outside specimen. Depending form the environmental conditions, this process takes place for weeks. I am looking for non-destructive methods to study the process of transport and evaporation of that water over time.
Dear Miomir,
To my knowledge, there was a communication in "Journées d'étude des milieux poreux" 2016. You will find the abstract here (in french) : https://fic-jemp2016.sciencesconf.org/102789/document
In the hope this helps !
Regards
Dear Miomir,
For humidity in asphalt only have experience with neutron backscatter measurement. Troxler portable gauges for field measurement.
