Drainability of an open-graded asphalt friction course (OGAFC) is a primary functional requirement, which mainly depends on the presence of a network of interconnected air voids. These mixtures, however, are prone to clogging, which severely limits their drainability. Clogging predominantly occurs as a result of the deposition of external (sand, debris, and dust) and internal (stripped-off bitumen) materials into the pores of OGAFC, which is referred to as particle-related clogging. Another type of clogging is deformation-related clogging and it is observed mainly because of rutting along the wheel path. In this study, the drainability and clogging behavior of OGAFC mixes with basic oxygen furnace (BOF) steel slag as replacement of natural aggregates was studied. BOF steel slag was used as 0% (control mix), 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% substitution for coarse natural aggregates in the preparation of OGAFC mixes with two types of modified binders. Three different clogging mechanisms: particle-related clogging (caused by intrusion of foreign material such as sand); stripping-related clogging (caused by the deposition of stripped-off bitumen-fines mortar), and deformation-related clogging (reduced drainability caused by permanent deformation) were considered in this study. Comparisons were made to investigate the effect of BOF steel slag on the clogging potential of OGAFC mixes. OGAFC specimens were evaluated for their drainage potential using a flexible-wall falling-head permeameter both before and after being subjected to various clogging environments. BOF-steel-slag-incorporated OGAFC mixes exhibited lower clogging potential and reported better performance in resisting clogging resulting from stripping and permanent deformation.
