3. INTRODUCTION
Allow water to drain
Open graded asphalt concrete (OGAC), open graded
friction course (OGFC), and permeable asphalt
Storm water management
Allow the water to spread over
Does not require additives

4. POROUS ASPHALT
Lower concentration of fines
Voids more than 20%
Polymers and/or fibers can be used
Mixed at a standard asphalt plant
“recharge bed” built of stones

5. DESIGN CRITERIA
Slope
Limit surface slope to 5%.
Construct bottom as flat as
possible.
Use conventional HMA for
steeper slopes.
Avoid compacting soils
during construction.
Avoid excessive earthwork.

Dense Graded Asphalt Pavement Porous Asphalt Pavement
12. COST & MAINTENANCE
Total project cost is comparable with ordinary asphalt
pavement
Material cost is 20-25% more than ordinary asphalt
Vacuum sweep twice per year
Clean inlets twice per year
Do not seal coat
Repairs can be made with standard asphalt not to exceed 10%
of surface area
12
13. ADVANTAGES
Flood control
Recharges groundwater to underlying aquifers
Extended pavement life due to well drained base
maintains traction while wet
Reduced spray from traveling vehicles, reduced roadway noise
Allows for reduction of storm water infrastructure
13
14. DISADVANTAGES
Requires routine vacuum sweeping
Accidental seal-coating, will cause failure
Quality control for material production and installation are
essential for success
14
15. CONCLUSION
Most effective and affordable techniques for addressing storm
water management
Recharging and replenishing ground water
Longer life than ordinary pavements
High pollutant removal efficiency by reducing runoff
Improving the quality of water
Maintaining a cooler pavement
