In recent years, studies on porous asphalt have gained more importance and countries are conducting various studies in order to improve the engineering properties of this type of pavement. As a result of these studies, each country developed its own standard and therefore different optimum bitumen content (OBC) determination methods emerged. This paper investigates the determination of the optimum bitumen content of porous asphalt samples prepared by using different aggregate types and polymers by the methods implemented in Turkey and in other countries. The results have shown that the application of each method yielded different bitumen content.
