Impact of aggregrate gradation on the performance of porous asphalt mixture

Porous Asphalt Mixture (PAM) is preferred in Singapore due to its water-permeable property and many studies are being conducted to improve its capability. Performance of PAM on pathways under the influence of aggregate gradation was studied in this research, especially in terms of permeability, stre...
