This project documents the impact of a porous asphalt overlay on the quality of highway stormwater runoff. A porous asphalt overlay, also known as a permeable friction course (PFC) or open graded friction course (OGFC), is a layer of porous asphalt approximately 50 mm thick which is often applied on top of conventional asphalt highways to enhance safety and reduce noise. The quality of stormwat...

Sustainability and durability are the key requirements of pavement structure. asphalt structure involves utilization Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) technologies with addition Reclaimed Pavement (RAP), where performance parameters like fatigue fracture resistance properties etc. Utilizing RAP content in mix increases mixing compaction temperature which may degrade asphalt. Hence, numerous studies have r...

Considerable amounts of Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) are produced every year, as the road network requires maintenance to ensure safety and comfort its users. RAP is a 100% recyclable material useful fit be re-introduced into another cycle without downgrading functionality. Despite current knowledge about benefits associated with use, it not yet largely applied in several countries. This pa...

The paper presents results of sensitivity analysis to crack propagation of a pavement bituminous layered structure using the Finite Element Method (FEM) and Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). The performed preliminary study determined stresses and displacements in the pavement layer system. The pavement structure consisting of asphalt layers, a base layer, subbase and subgrade layers was analyze...
