To clarify the influence of temperature and humidity on the medium- and low-temperature performances of asphalt mixture, the annual temperature and humidity of different regions in China were analyzed. Three typical humidity conditions were selected for the experiment. An indirect tensile stiffness modulus test and a low temperature splitting test were carried out on the treated samples, to evaluate the influence of temperature and humidity on the mechanical properties of the mixture. Results show that the annual absolute humidity in most regions of China is less than 25  g/m3, and the moisture uptake of the asphalt mixture decreases with the increase in temperature. High temperature and humidity will induce the notable decline of the Young’s modulus and the stiffness modulus of the asphalt mixture at low and medium temperatures, as well as the increase of ultimate strain and the decrease of tensile strength at low temperatures. The humidity conditions at medium and low temperatures have no influence on the modulus, strength, and strain. The fracture energy, dissipated creep strain energy, and elastic energy decrease with the increase of absolute humidity. High temperature and high humidity lead to a significant decrease of fracture energy. The Young’s modulus of the asphalt mixture is susceptible to the change of temperature and humidity conditions.
