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.
The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) uses a 12.5-mm nominal maximum aggregate size (NMAS) open-graded friction course (OGFC) called FC-5 on
