Abstract:

The project aimed to evaluate the impact of four strategies designed to improve the durability of FC-5 mixtures: employing a 9.5-mm nominal maximum aggregate size (NMAS) gradation; using a high polymer (HP) modified binder in the mixture; assessing the effectiveness of a 12.5-mm stone matrix asphalt (SMA); and exploring an alternative friction course (AFC).The study sought to ensure that these mixtures could provide adequate drainage, surface friction, and improved durability for use in suburban areas.
