• Abstract:
  "The work presented in this report is a summary of a series of research projects, whose central purpose is to support the Caltrans Quieter ; Pavement Research Program, which has as its goals and objectives the identification of quieter, smoother, safer, and more durable pavement ; surfaces. The research has been carried out as Partnered Pavement Research Center Strategic Plan Elements (PPRC SPEs) 4.16, 4.19, and 4.27. ; In the study documented in this report, field data regarding tire/pavement noise, surface condition, ride quality, and macrotexture were ; collected over four consecutive years from pavements in California placed with open-graded and other asphaltic mixes. The four-year data ; were analyzed to evaluate the durability and effectiveness of open-graded mixes in reducing noise compared to other asphalt surfaces, ; including dense- and gap-graded mixes, and to evaluate the pavement characteristics that affect tire/pavement noise. The analysis in this report ; is a supplement and update to two previous studies on the first three years of data collected, which are detailed in two separate reports prepared ; as part of PPRC SPE 4.16 and PPRC SPE 4.19, the previous phases of the Quieter Pavement Research Program, and documented in the reports ; for Partnered Pavement Research Center Strategic Plan Elements 4.16 and 4.19 for the first and second, and third years, respectively. ; Conclusions are made regarding the performance of open-graded mixes and rubberized mixes (RAC-G), comparisons are made with densegraded ; mixes (DGAC), and the effects of variables affecting tire/pavement noise are examined."
