Drainage Performance of Long Longitudinal Slope and High Safety Permeable Asphalt Pavement

Permeable asphalt pavement refers to an asphalt mixture layer with an air void content of more than 18% and internal water permeability and drainage capabilities that can quickly drain away water on the road surface, improve rainy day travel safety, and improve ride comfort. This paper aims to explore the optimal asphalt mixture design for long longitudinal slope pavement (referred to as the FAM mixture). By using CT scanning technology to analyze the air void content of different rotated and compacted asphalt mixture specimens and extensively testing and evaluating the performance of permeable pavement mixtures, the following conclusions are drawn: Based on the research philosophy of functional integration, a new asphalt mixture gradation suitable for long longitudinal slope roads is proposed, with the optimal key factor composition being: 0.075 mm passing rate of 7%, 2.36 mm passing rate of 20%, 9.5 mm passing rate of 55%, and an oil-stone ratio of 4.8%. The FAM mixture was divided into three parts for air void analysis, with the upper part having a slightly higher air void content than the lower part. The air void distribution diagram of the FAM mixture is concave, with higher air void rate curves on both sides and a lower middle curve. Through dynamic modulus testing, the strength requirement for the road asphalt mixture in the pavement structure design was evaluated. It was found that at high temperature conditions (50 °C), the minimum dynamic modulus value of the FAM mixture was 323 MPa, with a peak value of 22,746 MPa at a temperature of −10 °C and a frequency of 25 HZ. The dynamic modulus value at high temperature conditions is lower than at low temperature conditions, while the dynamic modulus value at high frequency conditions is higher than at low frequency conditions. This study provides useful information and experimental data for the design of new asphalt mixtures for long longitudinal slope roads and has conducted in-depth research on the air void distribution and performance of the mixture, providing strong support for related research fields and practical applications.
