1.Introduction

Porousfrictioncourses（PFCs）aretypicalopen-gradedasphalticmixes,composedofrelativelyuniformly-gradedaggregateandasphaltcementormodifiedbinders,andaremainlyusedtoserveasdrainagelayers,eitheratthepavementsurfaceorwithinthepavementstructure[1].Pavementssurfacedwithopen-gradedasphalticmixeswerefoundtoimprovewetweatherskid-resistance,minimizehydroplaning,reducesplashandspray,improvenightvisibilityduringwetweatherconditions,andreducetraffictyrenoise[2,3].IncountriesliketheUnitedStatesofAmerica,Japan,theUnitedKingdom,Malaysia,Australia,NewZealand,andSouthAfrica,open-gradedmixesareinuseassurfacelayersoverhigh-speedandheavilytraffickedhighwaypavements[2–8].Thesearealsorecommendedforsurfacingrunwaypavements[9-10].Manyagenciesaroundtheworldusedifferentterminologiesforopen-gradedmixes,andspecificationsthatareslightlydifferent.Thevariousterminologiesusedincludeopen-gradedasphalt（OGA）,porousasphalt（PA）,open-gradedfrictioncourse（OGFC）,andporousfrictioncourse（PFC）.

Anoptimaldesignmixshouldensurehighairvoidscontentandgoodresistancetoravelling.ProcedureformixdesignofPFCsrecommendedbyvariousagenciesincludetheevaluationofdrain-downlossesinloosehotmixes,airvoidscontent,stone-on-stonecontactcondition,permeability,andtheabrasionresistanceusingtheCantabroabrasiontestmethod[4,7,8,15].Oneofthemajordifferencesobservedinthespecificationsbyvariousagenciesisthatoftheconsiderationoftrafficvolumeintheoptimummixselectioncriteria.Theminimumairvoidscontentandthemaximumabrasionlossspecifiedbysomeoftheagenciesweredependentonthetrafficvolume[4,7,8],whereas,thisdependencywasnotconsideredbymanyagenciesintheUSA[2,10,15,16].ThelevelofMarshallcompactionsuggestedbymanyagencieswerefoundtobe50blowsperface,irrespectiveofthetrafficvolume.Inaddition,intherecentpastmanyresearchersadoptedthesameleveloftheMarshallcompactionforthedesignofPFCmixes[17–20].However,someoftheresearchersadoptedorsuggestedthelowerlevelsoftheMarshallcompaction,forcharacterizingthePFCmixes[21–24].
