Open graded friction course (OGFC) is a special type of hot mix asphalt surface course designed for a high percentage of air voids, generally more than 18 % by mix vol ume.
UNHSC Design Specifications for Porous Asphalt Pavement1 Porous asphalt, Open graded friction course, or dense mixed asphalt shall not be placed between November 15 and March 15, or when the ambient air temperature at the pavement site in the shade away from artificial heat is below 16 °C (60 °F) or when the actual ground temperature is below 10 °C (50 °F).HMA Pavement Mix Type Selection GuideThe pavement mix types targeted are Open Graded Friction Courses (OGFC), Stone Matrix Asphalt (SMA), and fine and coarse graded dense mix The Guide combines the selection criteria for these different pavement mix types into one document To develop this document, information was obtained from a combination of literature.Design, Construction, and Maintenance of Open GradedDesign, Construction, and Maintenance of Open Graded Asphalt Friction Cours Prithvi S Kandhal, PE, Associate Director, National Center for Asphalt Technology, NAPAOpen Graded Friction Course (OGFC) has been used since 1950 in the United States to improve the frictional resistance of asphalt pavements However, experience of states with this kind of mix has been widely varied While many transportation agencies have reported good performance, many others have stopped using OGFC due to poor performance.Open Graded Friction Courses (OGFC)There is also open graded asphalt concrete, open graded friction course, and permeable friction course The main idea is it is 1 2 inches thick previous asphalt concrete sacial layer, that is used on dense graded or concrete pavement Question How did the OGFC's water quality performance change over time, as in year after.Sixth Edition 2019or base course) Other Pavement types include OPEN GRADED FRICTION COURSE MODIFIED OPEN GRADED FRICTION COURSE ASPHALT RUBBER OPEN GRADED FRICTION COURSE ULTRA THIN FRICTION COURSE SMA (S tone Matrix Asphalt) ESTIMATING QUANTITIES For a cursory estimate of the quantity of material required, use—1 ton of hot mix asphalt covers 17.Permeable pavingOpen graded friction courses (OGFC) are a porous asphalt surface course used on highways to improve driving safety by removing water from the surface Unlike a full depth porous asphalt pavement, OGFCs do not drain water to the base of a pavement.OPEN GRADED FRICTION COURSESof Open Graded Friction Courses is prompting a number of states, including some in northern climates, to take a renewed interest in these porous asphalt surfacings These new mixtures have higher air voids, typically 18 to 22 percent, than earlier mixtures at 15 percent Recent evidence shows that better.Open Graded AsphaltOpen graded asphalt used in Australia and overseas as a wearing course to provide increased safety in wet weather (through reduced surface water and spray during rain) and reduced noise levels Open Graded Asphalt is a porous asphalt mix formulated to provide large voids (in excess of 20 per cent) to allow surface water to drain away and hence increase safety for the motorist.Rehabilitation of Portland Cement Concrete Pavementsnomenclature for the open graded mix is Asphalt Rubber, Asphalt Concrete Friction Course (AR ACFC) The Gap graded mix is Asphalt Rubber, Asphalt Concrete (AR AC) The AR ACFC has had extensive use over both Portland Cement Concrete Pavements (PCCP), and asphalt concrete (AC) Pavements Where used directly on the existing, structurally sound.
