  • Abstract:
    An OGFC test section was constructed on I-55 in Copiah County, MS during the ; spring/summer of 2007. As part of the study, literature was reviewed and a falling head ; permeability device was identified that has been used in laboratory and field studies of ; OGFC/PFC permeability. The falling head device was fabricated along with a vehicle mounted ; reaction frame. Drawings for the apparatus are included in the report. In situ permeability tests ; were conducted in wheel paths and between the wheel paths of the driving and passing lanes of ; the highway in one tenth mile increments. The measurements were initiated approximately six ; months after construction and then every six months for two and one-half years. ; A goal of the research was met in that it has been shown OGFC can be successfully ; designed using local Mississippi aggregates and polymer modified asphalt. In service, the ; resulting OGFC can carry significant traffic while maintaining an adequate level of in situ ; permeability. The OGFC did not exhibit loss of aggregate through surface raveling or ; significant spalling along cracks generated at the juncture of the laydown machine screed and ; screed extensions during construction.
