Pavement Design, Management, and Performance. Porous Asphalt Pavements: An International Perspective, 1990
The 11 papers in the Record were presented in Sessions 202 and 214 of the 69th Annual Meeting of the Transportation Research Board (TRB), held in 1990. All papers were developed jointly and sponsored by two Permanent International Association of Road Congresses (PIARC) committees and three TRB committees. Thomas Deen, Executive Director of TRB, and Bernard Fauveau, General Secretary of PIARC, each introduced one of the sessions by emphasizing the international cooperation represented. The papers were prepared by authors from Belgium, France, Great Britain, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, and Switzerland. Porous asphalt pavements in Europe are 4 to 5 cm thick, about twice as thick as open-graded asphalt surfaces in the United States. Otherwise they are similar. In addition to reducing splash and spray and helping to maintain high friction levels between vehicle tires and wet pavements, porous asphalt pavements are recognized for their ability to reduce light reflectance and to decrease tire and vehicle noise by 3 to 4 dB(A). Topics covered by the papers are mix design (including polymer additives), placement, repair, performance, measurements of reduced noise and other perceived benefits, and measurement of physical properties related to the engineering performance of these pavements.
