As the main source of traffic noise, tire-pavement noise poses a major threat to human
health. Reducing tire-pavement noise influences of quality of life has recently drawn …

During the last few years, the use of Open-Graded Friction Course (OGFC) as a wearing
surface material has gained a great concern due to the various benefits in terms of safety …

Abstract Permeable Friction Courses (PFC) are asphalt mixtures characterized by high air
void contents that are used as surface layers in conventional pavements, principally to …

The systematic behavior of porous asphalt pavement (PAP) under normal traffic conditions
has been studied in detail in the present work. In the first phase, an observation program …

Many different test methods are used in practice to evaluate the surface infiltration
performance of permeable pavements. This has led to inconsistency in reporting of test …

Porous asphalt concrete (PAC) constitutes large air voids and coarse aggregate, forming a
unique aggregate structure. The open pore structure is advantageous in creating space for …

Wet weather-related hazards such as hydroplaning can be reduced with the proper use of
permeable friction course (PFC). At low rainfall intensities, PFC provides quick drainage of …

This research investigates the influence of aggregate gradation on the clogging
characteristics of porous asphalt mixtures. Ten representative gradations used for open …

Porous asphalt (PA) pavement has been widely used in the USA, Europe and Japan for the
benefit of quick drainage in rainy days and noise reduction. Its application in China …

After several years in service, porous asphalt looses permeability primarily due to clogging.
This paper presents a phenomenon, postulated as binder creep, as another source of …
