Book excerpt: This synthesis will be of interest to pavement construction, maintenance, design, and materials engineers; pavement contractors; and others interested in the use of open-graded friction course (OGFC) mixes. It describes the current state of the practice on the use of OGFC mixes, including information regarding design, materials, construction, maintenance, and rehabilitation strategies. Alternative treatments to traditional OGFC are also identified and discussed. Information was collected by surveying U.S. and Canadian transportation agencies and by conducting a literature search to gather additional insight into North American and European practices. This TRB report describes the recent performance of North American OGFC mixes and European porous asphalt by identifying benefits and stress indicators. A new generation of OGFC mixes has evolved over the last 5 years with changes that have been reported to dramatically improve performance. This synthesis describes new materials and design methods being used, as well as the applicability of the new generation of open-graded mixtures to North American use.

Book excerpt: This synthesis will be of interest to construction, maintenance, pavement design, and materials engineers, pavement contractors, and others interested in the use of open-graded friction courses (OGFC) as an asphalt concrete pavement wearing surface. Information is provided on performance benefits and limitations of OGFC, material and mixture properties, and current construction practices in use in the United States and Europe. Advances in mixture design and construction techniques have overcome several of the performance limitations identified in early applications of OGFC, as well as enhanced the performance benefits associated with OGFC use. This report of the Transportation Research Board describes the current state of the practice with respect to the use of OGFC. Experience with the design, construction, and performance of OGFC is summarized, based on a review of the literature, documentation of experience from applications in the U.S. and Europe, and site visits to several states.

Book excerpt: This report documents installation and evaluation of an experimental pavement using an open-graded asphalt friction course, placed as part of the FHWA's Demonstration project 10. Two different open-graded mixes -- one having a maximum aggregate size of 1/2-in and the other 1/4-in -- and a standard NYS 1A top mix were evaluated. Performance of the experimental pavement was determined by measuring air-void content, asphalt cement penetration and viscosity, skid resistance, rutting, and noise, and by visual observations of water drainage and splash and spray by passing traffic in wet weather. Results showed that the open-graded pavements performed better than the standard NYS 1A top.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Open-graded friction course (OGFC) is a porous mix primarily used to improve pavement safety. OGFC is characterized by air voids ranging from 15 to 20 percent which allows surface water to drain through its structure and then laterally from the pavement structure. The ability of OGFC to drain water quickly results in less water ponding on the pavement surface, thereby reducing hydroplaning, reducing vehicle spray, and providing improved skid resistance. Research objectives were to evaluate the use of OGFC mixes containing 100 percent gravel and 50 percent gravel/50 percent limestone and to determine specifications to be employed by the Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT). Specimens were prepared at design asphalt binder content and evaluated for permeability, durability, stability, and moisture resistance. Research findings show mixes containing 100 percent gravel and 50 percent gravel/50 percent limestone perform comparably in laboratory testing.

Book excerpt: The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the performance of open-graded friction course (OGFC) in the laboratory with different gradations and types of additives, and recommend a rational mix design procedure for the new-generation OGFC mixes. Additionally, the construction and performance of six OGFC pavements (constructed prior to this study) are discussed. These mixes generally meet the requirements for gradation band and Cantabro abrasion recommended in the new mix design system.
