A review of the characterization and evaluation of permeable friction course mixtures Revisión de la caracterización y evaluación de mezclas drenantes

摘要: Permeable friction course (PFC) mixtures are a special type of hot mix asphalt (HMA) characterized by high total air voids (AV) content values to provide permeability and noise reduction effectiveness, while surface texture conditions can be ensured. Recent advancements in materials HMA mixture evaluation led increase the use PFC over last two decades as an alternative improve highway safety reduction. However, these developments on generate need for comprehensive review facilitate corresponding practical implementation. Consequently, main objective this paper is summary research findings conception, design, mixtures. In context, includes aspects related advantages limitations, volumetric properties, structural life, distresses, functionality The summarized baseline improvement current design conception offer guidelines some future developments.
