Abstract

A porous elastic pavement material is provided which is excellent in noise reducing effect and yet sustainably has a wet state slip resistance for a long period of time. The porous elastic pavement material comprises elastic aggregates ( 1 ), hard aggregates ( 2 ) and a binder ( 3 ) which binds the elastic aggregates ( 1 ) and the hard aggregates ( 2 ), wherein the hard aggregates ( 2 ) have an average particle diameter of 0.2 to 2 mm, and are present in a proportion of 25 to 65 vol % based on the elastic aggregates ( 1 ).

Claims (7)

1. A porous elastic pavement material comprising elastic aggregates, hard aggregates, and a binder which binds the elastic aggregates and the hard aggregates, wherein the hard aggregates have an average particle diameter of 0.2 to 2 mm, and are present in a proportion of 25 to 65 vol % based on the elastic aggregates;

wherein hard aggregates are defined as aggregates that exhibit a greater hardness than the elastic aggregates.

2. A porous elastic pavement material as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the average particle diameter of the hard aggregates is 0.5 to 2 mm.

3. A porous elastic pavement material as set forth in claim 2 , wherein the average particle diameter of the hard aggregates is not less than one fifth an average particle diameter of the elastic aggregates.

4. A porous elastic pavement material as set forth in claim 2 , wherein the elastic aggregates each have an elongated shape.

5. A porous elastic pavement material as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the average particle diameter of the hard aggregates is not less than one fifth an average particle diameter of the elastic aggregates.

6. A porous elastic pavement material as set forth in claim 1 , wherein the elastic aggregates each have an elongated shape.
