Poroelastic Material for Urban Roads Wearing Courses

Conventional road materials used for producing wearing courses of roads are based on mineral aggregate and bituminous or Portland cement binders. The road materials must be optimized for different properties, including skid resistance, durability, rolling resistance and tire/road noise. Unfortunately, it seems that within classic technologies it is very difficult to achieve further reduction of tire/road noise. Innovative porous material PERS that contains considerable amount of crumb rubber seems to have great potential of traffic noise reduction. The paper presents brief history of PERS development, its present stage and unexpected properties, for example, spill fuel fires retardation
