... 273 1.74.8 Structural Design No specifics on inclusion within structural design were given. 1.74.9 Limitations Open-graded mixes are not used in high elevation snow zones that require a significant amount of snow plowing.
From page 276...
... 274 • Hydroplaning: OGFCs should be used in areas that have shown a high potential for wet weather accidents. These mix types will reduce hydroplaning potential by providing drainage channels for water to flow beneath the pavement surface.
From page 277...
... 275 markings. When rain falls on an OGFC surface, the void structure allows the water to penetrate into the layer which allows for maximum contact between the tire and pavement surface.
From page 278...
... 276 Caltrans does not design to a minimum air void content. However, the guidance document states that mixes designed as described above would have design air void contents near or above 18 percent.
From page 279...
... 277 down aggregates within the OGFC and pneumatic tire rollers tend to pick up the OGFC. Also, the kneading action caused by pneumatic tire rollers tends to close the voids at the surface of the OGFC.
