Abstract:The objectives of this study were as follows:
1) To review research performed by others and determine the state-of-the-art of field permeability measurements;
2) To review current laboratory permeability testing devices and their testing procedures for accuracy;
3) To develop a rapid and repeatable field test for measuring permeability of asphalt mixtures and aggregate bases or accept an already existing method;
4) To correlate this device with known laboratory testing procedures;
5) To determine if a correlation exists between field permeability and other measurable pavement parameters;
6) To define acceptable permeability rates for asphalt mixtures and aggregate base courses; and
7) To develop a quality control/quality assurance (QC/QA) specification and procedure for application in construction practices.
