摘要
Porous Friction Courses (PFC) are Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) materials with high air void contents that are placed as thin layers on top of conventional flexible pavements to obtain safety and noise-reduction benefits. These layers are considered an additional component of the pavement and, consequently, their structural contribution is not typically considered. This paper uses Finite Element (FE) modelling to evaluate the potential contribution of PFCs with different thicknesses to the overall structural capacity of three different flexible pavements. The results show that PFC layers do contribute to the pavement structural capacity but that this contribution strongly depends on their different microstructural and geometrical characteristics.
