Asphalt FACT #109

SUSTAINABILITY
 
Porous asphalt is an environmentally friendly tool for stormwater management.

Porous asphalt pavements allow for land development plans that are more thoughtful, harmonious with natural processes, and sustainable. They conserve water, reduce runoff, promote infiltration which cleanses stormwater, replenish aquifers, and protect streams.


TRB Webinar: Structural Design of Porous Asphalt Pavements
 
TRB will conduct a webinar on Tuesday, July 17, 2018 from 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM ET that will discuss the composition and use of porous asphalt pavements. Porous asphalt pavements (PAP) have the potential to increase sustainability and lessen the environmental impact of projects, although PAP is typically used for parking lots and other low volume road applications. Presenters will identify the structural design procedure and representative material structural properties of PAP. They will also explain how PAP can be applied to other projects to ensure it does not deteriorate under heavy traffic loads.

This webinar was organized by the TRB Standing Committee on Design and Rehabilitation of Asphalt Pavements.

Some registrants will need to pay $95 to attend this webinar. Sign into MyTRB.org to view registration information.
