Abstract:In this study, air void contents and distributions of porous asphalt mixtures along the vertical and horizontal directions were quantitatively measured on planar images. Air void contents were determined using some image techniques; while the permeability was measured by the falling head test. Two aggregate gradations (G1 and G2) and three blow numbers (30, 40, and 50) were chosen to explore the effects of gradation and compaction effort on the porosity and permeability. Results showed that porosities and perm… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
