“…Among its advantages, the better water runoff quality due to the high content of voids (i.e. usually in the range between 18-22%) highlights [6,7]. Similarly, Open graded Friction Courses (OGFCs) help to mitigate the noise generated by the path of the vehicles and to decrease the risk of hydroplaning and wet skidding [1].…”

“…Several of these works have focused on the role of the properties of the individual components of the mixture (i.e. aggregates, binder and additives) on the durability of the PFC, such as the assessment of the morphological properties of the aggregates that improve the quality of the stone-on-stone contacts (Putman and Kline 2012); the use of regular and heavily polymer modified asphalt binders (Jenks 2017, Arámbula-Mercado et al 2019; the use of antistripping agents to enhance adhesive properties and prevent moisture damage (Gu et al 2018); and the addition of mineral or cellulose fibres to prevent drain down and improve durability (Cooley et al 2000, Alfonso et al 2017.…”

The mechanical performance of asphalt mixtures with high air void contentlike Permeable Friction Courses (PFC)is significantly affected by climate-related processes. Previous studies have demonstrated that ravelling (i.e. the loss of aggregates from the surface of the PFC) is related to the quality of the stone-on-stone contacts within the microstructure of these mixtures. Since the material located at these contacts is asphalt mortar, the durability of the mixtures strongly depends on the mechanical properties of this phase. This paper evaluates, for the first time, the coupled effects of ageing and moisture on the mechanical and fracture properties of the asphalt mortar of a typical PFC. The climatic conditioning processes included short and long-term ageing and dry-wet-dry moisture vapour cycles. The linear viscoelastic and fracture properties of the PFC mortar specimens were characterised using Dynamic Mechanical Analyser (DMA) and Semi-Circular Bending (SCB) tests. The results showed that ageing impacted the dynamic modulus of the mortar, while moisture had a negligible effect on this property. Also, the coupled effects of long-term ageing and moisture cycles reduced the fracture energy and other fracture parameters of the mortar between 2 and 10 times with respect to the short-term ageing condition in dry state.

“…In the case of heavy rainfall, a large surface runoff will occur, increasing the drainage burden of the urban pipe network [2]. In addition, due to lack of rainwater penetration, groundwater is not effectively supplied, and many cities face severe water shortages and droughts [3,4]. Since 1970, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia have successively developed a series of technologies to control urban runoff and introduced a series of rainwater management plans and guidelines [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16].…”

The self-designed indoor simulated rainfall device was used to rain on five types of pavement structures with 4 types of rainfall intensity (2.5 mm/min, 3.4 mm/min, 4.6 mm/min, and 5.5 mm/min). The effect of rainfall intensity on the surface runoff, the relation between the subgrade soil moisture content changes, and the influence of initial soil water content on rain infiltration rate are studied. The test results show that the surface runoff coefficient of densely asphalted pavement is greater than 90% in drainage pavements and it has little influence on the reducing and hysteresis of the flood peak. The surface runoff coefficient of large-void asphalt pavement (permeable) is less than 40%. Although the large-void asphalt pavement (permeable) can reduce a small amount of surface runoff, it has no obvious effect on the reduction and hysteresis of the flood peak. In semipermeable pavement, with the increasing of the thickness of base (graded gravel), the surface runoff coefficient decreases at different rainfall intensities, parts of the surface runoff are reduced, and the arrival of flood peaks is delayed. In permeable roads, almost no surface runoff occurred. As time continued, the soil moisture content quickly reached a saturated state and presented a stable infiltration situation under the action of gravity and the gradient of soil water suction. As the initial moisture content increases, the initial infiltration rate decreases and the time to reach a stable infiltration rate becomes shorter. The drier the soil, the greater the initial infiltration rate and the higher the soil moisture content after infiltration stabilization. Permeable roads can greatly alleviate the pressure of urban drainage and reduce the risk of storms and floods.
