- Study of the porous asphalt performance with cellulosic fibresPublication . Afonso, Márcia Isabel Lopes; Almeida, Marisa S. Dinis; Fael, Cristina Maria SenaThe porous asphalt (PA) use in road pavements surface layers is one of the most common solutions worldwide to address the climate changes impact like heavy rain. The aim of this study is to evaluate the performance of these mixtures with the cellulosic fibres addition, known for their adherence capacity between the aggregates and the binder. These will help to prevent the binder loss by drainage, which is one of the main problems of porous asphalt, since the fine aggregates content is reduced. Comparing to the conventional porous asphalt the cellulosic fibres addition improved performance to permanent deformation.
