Abstract

Open graded asphalt is used as a wearing course to provide both increased safety in
wet weather (through reduced surface water and spray during rain) and reduced noise levels. In this
study, Pumice aggregates were applied as a portion of fine aggregate for the improvement of dynamical
specification of porous asphalt and the Cantabro, Los Angeles abrasion, and the bitumen precipitation
tests were conducted. First, the amount of optimized bitumen related to each of the three types of
aggregates and fine Pumice has been estimated, then the properties of the Marshall Resistance and
indirect tensile strength have been assigned. Mixtures with 5 percent of fine Pumice has shown better
characteristics in Marshall test as well as indirect tensile strength. Also, the results of dynamic creep
test showed that the rutting potential decreased by using Pumice aggregate. There is the best amount of
permanent deformation for mixtures containing 5% Pumice
