• Abstract:
  This study looked at the performance of quieter pavements in use in the United States of America and Europe with specific emphasis on those states that are using open-graded mixes for both friction or porous courses on an ongoing basis. All States were contacted and 34 states responded with information on their use of open-graded mixes and stone matrix asphalt (SMA) mixes. Eleven states were able to provide an estimate of the range and average service life of their open-graded mixes and three states provided information on the service life of their SMA mixes. Specifications for open-graded mixes and SMA mixes were compiled from 20 states and compared to Washington State’s open-graded friction course mix and the open-graded mix used on recent test sections built by the Washington State Department of Transportation.
