Moisture Induced Stress Tester
Instrument Details
Introduction
Proper testing of bituminous mixes for moisture susceptibility is a crucial requirement for designing today’s high-performing, longer-lasting pavements. Due to water and repeated traffic loading, stripping of bitumen from aggregates occur in bituminous pavement. So it is important to study the stripping mechanism of bituminous mixes so that rutting or ravelling can be controlled in the field. MIST (Moisture Induced Stress Tester) simulates pavement stripping mechanisms, which are due to water and repeated traffic loading. The MiST consists of a pressurized chamber, which conditions samples by pushing and pulling temperature controlled water through a compacted bituminous sample, thus creating pore pressure and simulating the action of an automobile tire on a wet surface. The test can be performed at different pressures and temperatures, creating pore pressure and scouring within the bituminous layer.

Working Principles
MIST works on the principle to provide cyclic stresses and pore pressure on the bituminous sample similar to the stresses seen by a wet bituminous pavement from passing vehicle tires.
