... 35 Introduction The work plan was divided into two parts. Part 1 was to evaluate mix design parameters, performance tests, and performance criteria that can be included in a performance-based specification.

... 36 Performance-Based Mix Design of Porous Friction Courses lime, the lime would be replaced by baghouse fines to maintain the total dust content. The liquid anti-strip agent used in all the mixes in this study is added to the binder at a dosage of 0.5% by weight of the binder and blended before mixing with aggregate.

... Work Plan 37 • AASHTO T 324 -- Hamburg Wheel-Track Testing, • ISSA TB 100 -- Wet Track Abrasion Test, • Tex-248-F -- Overlay Test (OT) , • AASHTO TP 108 -- Cantabro Loss, and • Illinois Test Procedure 405 -- Determining the Fracture Potential of Asphalt Mixtures Using the Illinois Flexibility Index Test (I-FIT)
From page 38...
... 38 Performance-Based Mix Design of Porous Friction Courses an average permeability value of 66 meters/day and an average air void content of 14.3%. While this was deemed close to acceptable based on the anticipated 15% minimum air void content, it was decided that this mix was already practically optimized and was only slightly improved when 2.0% dust was added to increase durability.
