    CBR-Based Skeleton Optimization for the Volumetric Design of Porous Asphalt Mixtures

    by Jixing Jie, Xiaoquan Xiao, Qing Wang, Jian Li, Yuling Zhang, Bo Chen

    Porous asphalt concrete (PAC) relies on coarse- aggregate interlocking, but existing design methods lack quantitative skeleton evaluation and may introduce volumetric conversion errors. This study proposes a method combining California Bearing Ratio (CBR)-based mechanical skeleton optimization with coarse aggregate void-filling (CAVF) volumetric design, termed the CBR-CAVF method. An improved CBR test with continuous load displacement recording identified 40:60 and 55:45 blends of 10–15 mm and 5–10 mm aggregates as optimal, with CBR5.0 values of 35.9% and 39.8%. Voids in coarse aggregate were measured by Superpave gyratory compaction, and the coarse aggregate void-filling equation was corrected using a skeleton interference coefficient (α = 1.120) and effective binder volume to calculate gradations at a target air void content of 21.0%. Measured air voids differed from the target by no more than 0.4 percentage points. Rankings of Marshall stability, dynamic stability and the computed tomography (CT)-derived mean coordination number, skeleton ratio and aggregate contact ratio were consistent with the ranking of CBR5.0. Gradation 2 increased Marshall stability and dynamic stability by 43.8% and 18.3% over the empirical control, suiting heavy-load sections, while Gradation 1 achieved the highest permeability (7920 mL/min) and average normal-incidence sound absorption coefficient (0.356 over 500–1600 Hz), indicating potential benefits for drainage- and noise reduction-oriented applications.
