Smits, N.C. (author)Ultra-silent pavements (USP) are developed as surface layers with excellent noise reducing proper- ties, mainly due to their high air void content. However, the open structure of USP facilitates water intrusion and makes them vulnerable to moisture damage. Past experience has shown that USP mix- tures often exhibited ravelling, and poor adhesion...master thesis 2016
