This paper studies the performance of HMA containing aggregate from Sargodha city of Pakistan. TheAASHTO T-283 is the most widely used test for evaluating moisture susceptibility and is based on comparing tensilestrength ratios. In the first step, the optimal bitumen content was determined. The optimal binder content was determinedby optimization of different factors that affect the performance of the asphalt mixture. In the second step, the 7 ± 1% airvoids were maintained. Finally, AASHTO T-283 was used to measure the damage in the asphalt mix caused by themoisture. The asphalt samples were evaluated in dry and wet states. The results of the test would be helpful inunderstanding the performance of the binder and local aggregates for the moisture susceptibility.
