abstract = "Poro Elastic Road Surfacings (PERS) as a substitute for conventional noise barriers or other traditional pavement surfacings like open graded mixes are currently attracting significant attention. Ascertaining the durability of PERS material itself and its bonding with the underlying pavement layer against high traffic and high load intensities is of primary importance. In this contribution, results are presented of nonlinear finite element simulations of a high volume pavement profile comprised of a PERS top layer bonded to a conventional open asphalt top layer. Traffic loading was applied by means of a simulated truck tire moving load for various operating conditions. The paper focuses on investigation of the influence on the structural pavement response of various loading conditions and material properties of PERS and adhesive layer. The study concludes with guidelines for the optimum combination of design parameters that lead to increased durability of pavements constructed with a PERS top layer.",
