Laboratory Evaluation of Permeability of Porous Asphalt Using a Constant Head Permeameter
In this study, the authors present results of an experimental investigation that aims to identify and quantify the influence of permeameter diameter, specimen thickness, and saturation conditions on the coefficient of permeability by means of the original apparatus and appropriate numerical simulation. The size and configuration of the permeameter, the thickness and texture of the asphalt mixture, and the flow conditions originated during the tests are all factors that subvert Darcy's hypotheses. These factors also make the creation of a water flow model, applicable to porous pavements, difficult to realize.
