OPEN FRICTION COURSE ON A PORTLAND CEMENT CONCRETE BASE: A FOUR-YEAR PROGRESS REPORT

This report documents the first 4 years of performance of a 1-in. thick open-friction-course and its adjacent conventional dense-graded top course (control), placed directly over a portland cement concrete pavement. The pavements were evaluated by analyzing changes in properties of the in-place mixes and by tracking changes in condition of the surfaces. The physical properties of the mixes were examined in extracted pavement cores, including aggregate gradation, binder penetrations and viscosities, and mix void content.
