Permeable asphalt pavement becomes the important trend of pavement development due to its many advantages such as rapid drainage,skid resistance,rain mist reduction,reflection reduction and noise reduction.In this paper,the paving characteristics of permeable asphalt pavement are discussed.Based on the structural characteristics of permeable asphalt pavement applied in Japan,water head distribution for permeable asphalt pavement and common dense-graded asphalt pavement under rainfall are separately analyzed through numerical simulation,and thus the drainage a...
