TRB conducted a webinar on Monday, September 10, 2018, from 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM ET that featured research from the
National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP)’s
Research Report 877: Performance-Based Mix Design for Porous Friction Courses.
This webinar provided guidelines for a performance-based mix design procedure for porous friction courses (PFC) that includes laboratory testing. A project survey of PFC found that raveling and cracking were the primary distresses of PFC pavements, but tests to evaluate resistance to raveling and cracking were not typically included in agencies’ PFC mix design procedures. This webinar presented research results that evaluated the effect of asphalt modifiers and increased mineral filler for enhancing PFC performance. Presenters also described a PFC mix design procedure that addresses rutting.
The
slides are available. Contact Reggie Gillum at
