... Taken together, these products should go a long way towards reducing the potential for moisture-related damage on asphalt and composite pavements and thereby lead to improved performance, increased pavement life, and reduced costs. BENEFITS OF IMPLEMENTATION The Guidelines document provides a standard, uniform body of information that will help highway engineers and designers develop a better understanding of all the factors that contribute to moisture damage within a pavement; as such, they provide best practice recommendations for addressing potential moisture problems in new design as well as in maintenance and preservation.
