Commonly used for parking lots and other light-duty ...
POROUS ASPHALT WEARING COURSES IN THE NETHERLANDS: STATE OF THE ART REVIEW. Since 1972, research has been carried out in the Netherlands to assess the advantages of porous asphalt wearing courses in relation to conventional pavement structures. Efforts have also been made to quantify the extra costs incurred by road managing authorities when ...
to the single layer porous asphalt (SLPA) technology and to further enhance the noise absorbing properties of porous asphalt, the double layer porous asphalt (DLPA) was invented. The DLPA is regarded as a Dutch invention. Its development was first initiated in the Netherlands in 1987. Field trials and monitoring took place as early as 1989.
To mitigate problems associated with clogging, double layer porous asphalt has been constructed in the Netherlands. This paper investigated a development of a new grading design for porous asphalt by varying percentage of aggregate with maximum sizes of 20, 14 and 10mm; a theory of packing was used.

• Noise reducing wearing courses: porous asphalt Asphalt Concrete and recycling • In the Netherlands we have 50 asphalt mix plants: • mostly badge mixers with parallel drum (for RAP) and a few drum mixers • The total production of hot mix asphalt is 7.5 million ton per year, including 2 million tons Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP)
Porous Asphalt Can Save You Money. Along with the environmental benefits that porous asphalt brings, there are also cost benefits associated with this paving process. Some local governments charge developers storm-water impact fees when water run-off from parking lots overwhelms the storm sewer system. Because porous asphalt helps reduce ...

The porous asphalt course consists of a 2- to 4-in. thick open-graded asphalt layer. The pavement should be a mix containing little sand or dust, with approximately 16 percent voids.
"Porous Pavement, A Green Step Forward", a presentation made by Henry Fedders, PE, at the 2009 Ohio Transportation Engineering Conference. Mr. Fedders and his associates report surprising data on a porous asphalt parking lot that was designed as a detention facility but is showing impressive results in infiltration and water quality improvement.
Since the early 1980s porous asphalt has been introduced to the entire main highways network in the Netherland (circa 3200km). Apart from improving noise reduction, the absorption of surface water is effective in reducing splash/spray condition and provides good visibility under rainy conditions contributing to road safety.
Porous asphalt pavement for traffic noise reduction and pavement dewatering – the pollution problem Lesław Bichajło1,*, Krzysztof Kołodziej1 1 Rzeszów University of Technology, Faculty of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Architecture, Poland Abstract. The paper characterizes the porous asphalt mixture used in pavement construction.
porous asphalt. The system acquires high-resolution 3D measurements of road surfaces by means of high-speed laser triangulation. The developed system is capable of determining the pavement type, measuring the amount of ravelling and remaining service life on porous asphalt in the Netherlands. The system has been in use for
Porous asphalt, a material that we use now in most of the highways in the Netherlands, it has pores and water can just rain through it, so all the rainwater will flow away to the sides, and you have a road that's easy to drive on, so no splash water anymore.
Transport and Navigation, Delft, the Netherlands M. van de Ven Delft University of Technology, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Delft, the Netherlands ABSTRACT: Since 1987 Porous Asphalt (PA) is applied on Dutch motorways, firstly because of safety reasons but since 1990 noise reduction was the main reason.
New life for Porous Asphalt RAP in new Porous Asphalt J. Voskuilen Rijkswaterstaat, Centre for Traffic and Navigation, Delft, the Netherlands F. Elzinga Van Gelder, Elburg, the Netherlands ABSTRACT: Since 1987 Porous Asphalt (PA) is used in special cases in the Netherlands with the focus on
The Netherlands has one of the most advanced motorway networks in the world, with Variable Message Signs and electronic signalization across most of the network. A special feature of the motorways is the use of Porous Asphalt Concrete, which allows water to be drained efficiently, and even in heavy rain, no water will splash up, in contrast with concrete or other pavement types.
To mitigate problems associated with clogging, double layer porous asphalt has been constructed in the Netherlands. This paper investigated a development of a new grading design for porous asphalt ...
Porous asphalt is applicable to many uses, including parking lots, driveways, sidewalks, bike paths, playgrounds and tennis courts. With proper maintenance, including regular vacuuming of the surface to prevent clogging by sediment, porous asphalt can have a minimum service life of 20 years.
Over 90% of major highways in the Netherlands are constructed with porous asphalt concrete . It is regarded as open-graded friction course (OGFC) and paved in various states of the United States, such as California, Florida, ia, Texas, Alabama, North Carolina, New Mexico, Arizona, Tennessee, and Louisiana [10], [11], [12] .

Porous asphalt (PA), the open graded asphalt mix with a void content above 20%, was first designed and applied in 1972 in Netherlands . The advantages of a PA include noise reduction, comfortable driving and reducing of splash and providing good water draining preventing water accumulation on the surface of the pavement.
Porous asphalt concrete is widely used as a surfacing layer on highways in the Netherlands because of its benefit that it is effective in reducing traffic noise. However, the service life of porous asphalt wearing courses is limited due to the fact that it is vulnerable to raveling.
N2 - Porous asphalt, due to its advantages of noise reduction and water drainage, is widely used in the surface layer of the highway in the Netherlands. However, the porous structure makes it prone to ravelling, therefore more frequent maintenance and reconstruction than other asphalt mixtures The porous asphalt service life can be extended ...
Porous asphalt is an environmentally friendly tool for stormwater management. POROUS ASPHALT PAVEMENTS In the natural environment, rainfall sinks into soil, filters through it, and eventually finds its way to streams, ponds, lakes, and underground aquifers. The built environment, by way of contrast, seals the surface. Rainwater and
An innovative reuse of porous asphalt is being tested on secondary roads in the Netherlands. The promising LE2AP European Life demonstration project involves test sections of durable, silent asphalt on roads in the Netherlands. LE2AP stands for Low Emission 2 Asphalt Pavement, with the 2 indicating reduced emissions for both CO2 and sound. BAM recently installed …
Porous concrete or asphalt surfaces are made up of a coarse aggregate that is coated in mortar or cement paste. This creates a structure in which there are countless pathways for water to trickle through the surface and down into a collection area or directly into the soil.
