Effect of Clogging on the Permeability of Porous Asphalt Pavement by Yaolu Ma, Xianhua Chen, Yanfen Geng, Xinlan Zhang

“…The variation in pore water pressure was simulated by considering the decrease in voids and the increase in clogging grains. The results indicate that the internally retained water should not be ignored because the semiconnected voids were filled with water rapidly at the beginning of permeability tests. …”
