| Summary: | The application of porous asphalt on traffic safety grounds in Malaysia is relatively new. Encouragement on use of porous asphalt to mitigate road accidents has been spelt out in a Highway Planning Unit report to the Economic Planning Unit (HPU, 1998). However, it is generally accepted that porous asphalt is not as long-lasting as asphaltic concrete. This paper present the result of a laboratory investigation to evaluate performance of porous mixes by using Styrene Butadiene Styrene (SBS) modified mixes compared to conventional 60/70 pen bitumen. Samples using these binder were prepared in the form of Marshall specimen. The specimens are then subjected to a series of performance testing. The results indicate an improvement in mix properties with SBS modified mixes. |
