Today’s Plan
Basics of noise generation and amplification and surface texture
How mix design can play a role in reducing tire-pavement noise

Where does the noise come from?
Noise generation and amplification at interface
![Page 4: Safe, Quiet and Durable Highways - Purdue Engineering Quiet and Durable Highways By Rebecca McDaniel, NCSC, Purdue Rocky Mountain Asphalt Conference February 21, 2008 2 Today’s Plan](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022504/5ab5066a7f8b9a0f058c60bf/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
4
Change the Interface
Change geometry and contact areaEliminate “hard” flat surfaces in horn, channels, etc.Reduce contact areaDissipate sound energy rather than reflecting it

How does porosity help?Array of tortuous
pores Dissipates energy
through frictionReduce surface area
and slip-stick or stick-snap Reduces horn effect

7
How does texture influence noise?
Tire distorts as it grips protruding aggregates
Negative texture – tire skims over surface
Avoid surfaces like aggressive chip seals, exposed aggregate
![Page 8: Safe, Quiet and Durable Highways - Purdue Engineering Quiet and Durable Highways By Rebecca McDaniel, NCSC, Purdue Rocky Mountain Asphalt Conference February 21, 2008 2 Today’s Plan](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022504/5ab5066a7f8b9a0f058c60bf/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Negative vs. Positive Texture
![Page 9: Safe, Quiet and Durable Highways - Purdue Engineering Quiet and Durable Highways By Rebecca McDaniel, NCSC, Purdue Rocky Mountain Asphalt Conference February 21, 2008 2 Today’s Plan](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022504/5ab5066a7f8b9a0f058c60bf/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
9
How does elasticity help?
More “give” in the pavement may cause less vibration in tireHeavily modified binders may help
Experimental elastic or poroelastic pavements
Have been attempted, but generally expensive and not very durable
![Page 10: Safe, Quiet and Durable Highways - Purdue Engineering Quiet and Durable Highways By Rebecca McDaniel, NCSC, Purdue Rocky Mountain Asphalt Conference February 21, 2008 2 Today’s Plan](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022504/5ab5066a7f8b9a0f058c60bf/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
10
How does size help?
Less distortion of tire around smaller aggregate particles
Reduced tire vibration
Air voids and porosity more widely distributed with smaller aggregates (at same air void content)
![Page 11: Safe, Quiet and Durable Highways - Purdue Engineering Quiet and Durable Highways By Rebecca McDaniel, NCSC, Purdue Rocky Mountain Asphalt Conference February 21, 2008 2 Today’s Plan](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022504/5ab5066a7f8b9a0f058c60bf/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

How do we incorporate these features in a mix?
Smaller NMASFine graded mixesPorous mixesModified bindersCombinations of the above
![Page 12: Safe, Quiet and Durable Highways - Purdue Engineering Quiet and Durable Highways By Rebecca McDaniel, NCSC, Purdue Rocky Mountain Asphalt Conference February 21, 2008 2 Today’s Plan](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022504/5ab5066a7f8b9a0f058c60bf/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12
Designing Quieter Mixtures
Use a smaller NMAS conventional mixReduces vibrations in tireNot as quiet as porous pavements, but familiar and durableFiner aggregates lead to higher binder content – improved durability?

Fine Graded Superpave
Interest is growing due to:
Evidence that fine graded mixes can be rut resistantConcerns about durability Reduced permeability
![Page 15: Safe, Quiet and Durable Highways - Purdue Engineering Quiet and Durable Highways By Rebecca McDaniel, NCSC, Purdue Rocky Mountain Asphalt Conference February 21, 2008 2 Today’s Plan](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022504/5ab5066a7f8b9a0f058c60bf/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Possible Benefits
“Smooth” surface texture with small aggregateReduced macrotexture Negative, not positive, textureReduced permeabilityIncreased durability (?)Lower noise
![Page 17: Safe, Quiet and Durable Highways - Purdue Engineering Quiet and Durable Highways By Rebecca McDaniel, NCSC, Purdue Rocky Mountain Asphalt Conference February 21, 2008 2 Today’s Plan](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022504/5ab5066a7f8b9a0f058c60bf/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

How to Design
Modify aggregate gradation
Increase fine aggregate (minus 2.36mm)
Avoid hump at 0.6 to 0.3mm
Watch dust content (minus 75µm)
Watch VMA and Nini
![Page 18: Safe, Quiet and Durable Highways - Purdue Engineering Quiet and Durable Highways By Rebecca McDaniel, NCSC, Purdue Rocky Mountain Asphalt Conference February 21, 2008 2 Today’s Plan](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022504/5ab5066a7f8b9a0f058c60bf/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
18
Successful Design Requires
“High quality” fine aggregate
Sand that will help increase internal resistance to compaction to meet densification at Nini (crushed vs natural)
“Clean” sand to avoid hump and keep dust within limits
![Page 19: Safe, Quiet and Durable Highways - Purdue Engineering Quiet and Durable Highways By Rebecca McDaniel, NCSC, Purdue Rocky Mountain Asphalt Conference February 21, 2008 2 Today’s Plan](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022504/5ab5066a7f8b9a0f058c60bf/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Limitations
Not as quiet as porous mixes
Do not reduce splash and spray
Require good aggregates for rut resistance and frictional properties
More binder ($)

Designing Quieter Mixes
Use a porous mixture Changes geometry of interface and reduces contact areaNegative textureNeed to maintain drainage path (“daylight”)
![Page 21: Safe, Quiet and Durable Highways - Purdue Engineering Quiet and Durable Highways By Rebecca McDaniel, NCSC, Purdue Rocky Mountain Asphalt Conference February 21, 2008 2 Today’s Plan](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022504/5ab5066a7f8b9a0f058c60bf/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Applications of Porous Pavements for Noise Control
Typically high volume, high speed trafficHigher speeds cause higher noiseAction of tires at high speeds helps to clean pores, avoid cloggingSide benefits of porous surfaces
Reduced splash and sprayIncreased macrotexture, friction
![Page 22: Safe, Quiet and Durable Highways - Purdue Engineering Quiet and Durable Highways By Rebecca McDaniel, NCSC, Purdue Rocky Mountain Asphalt Conference February 21, 2008 2 Today’s Plan](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022504/5ab5066a7f8b9a0f058c60bf/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Special ConsiderationsDesign to control draindown
Add fibers or modifiers Winter maintenance issues
More rapid icing of surfaceEarlier and more frequent deicing needed
Duration of benefits uncertainClogging of voidsTwo layer porous may help
![Page 23: Safe, Quiet and Durable Highways - Purdue Engineering Quiet and Durable Highways By Rebecca McDaniel, NCSC, Purdue Rocky Mountain Asphalt Conference February 21, 2008 2 Today’s Plan](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022504/5ab5066a7f8b9a0f058c60bf/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Fine porous layer prevents clogging of
lower, coarser porous layer

Impermeable Base(Top Sealed)
Another Consideration -- Drainage

Porous Pavement PerformanceNoise reductions of
5-10 dB over PCCP3 dB over conventional dense graded mixes
Affected by design, construction and maintenanceService life varies, but long life can be attainedOther benefits – ride, rut and cracking resistance, safety
![Page 27: Safe, Quiet and Durable Highways - Purdue Engineering Quiet and Durable Highways By Rebecca McDaniel, NCSC, Purdue Rocky Mountain Asphalt Conference February 21, 2008 2 Today’s Plan](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022022504/5ab5066a7f8b9a0f058c60bf/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Designing Quieter Mixtures
Use a modified binderMore elasticityProbably not a substantial improvement by itself (maybe 1 dB)
Use a small NMAS porous mixture with a modified binder
All the benefits above
