From page 177...
... 175 1.41.3 Materials and Mix Design The only information provided on materials and mix design was that single layer porous asphalt mixes have an 8 mm maximum aggregate size. When two layer porous asphalt layers are used, the top layer has an 8 mm maximum aggregate size and the lower layer of porous asphalt has a 16 mm maximum aggregate size.
From page 178...
... 176 1.42.2 Benefits of Permeable Asphalt Mixtures The authors did not specifically conduct testing to evaluate the benefits of permeable friction courses; however, benefits of PFCs discussed within the paper include noise reduction and reduced hydroplaning. 1.42.3 Materials and Design This paper does not specifically deal with the design of friction courses; however, the authors state that only modified binders are used for porous friction courses.
From page 179...
... 177 the removal of the resulting ice layer is much more difficult on porous asphalt surfaces than dense-graded surfaces. The authors state that porous asphalt will require 25 to 50 percent more deicing agents than dense-graded surfaces.
