Current State of Porous Asphalt in Switzerland

As of January 2004, 131 km of Swiss motorways are paved with porous asphalt with heterogeneous composition and performance. This paper gives an overview on long term in-situ performance as well as some specific technical aspects of maintenance and rehabilitation. Swiss standards, mix design, binder types and a selection of typical results of mechanical tests performed on cores will be discussed. These cores were chosen based on feedback from the individual local road authorities and vary in terms of binder type, age and performance.
