Aggregate with excellent mechanical properties, like basalt, is always in great demand in porous asphalt concrete (PAC). While in areas where high-quality basalt is insufficient, limestone aggregate with acceptable performance is considered as a potential alternative. This paper analyzed the composition, fragmentation and stability of PAC gradation based on limestone aggregate since its long-term performance and stability under repeated stresses still haven't been studied. Firstly, dynamic crushing test (DCT) was adopted to simulate the stress characteristics of PAC gradation. Secondly, single size range of aggregate (SSRA) and PAC gradation were used to determine and verify the test conditions. Thirdly, composition, distribution characteristics and stability of formed structural systems were studied. Lastly, more PAC gradations were adopted to further verify the conclusions. Results showing the test samples have reached relative stability by one-cycle test, were not significantly influenced by test temperature. In DCTs, aggregate of 4.75 mm had a critical effect on structural systems stability, while aggregates of 2.36 mm and 9.5 mm also played important roles in improving systems' stability. Unlike SSRA, which was influenced by its own objective crushing characteristics and contributed to larger air void ratios of newlyformed-systems, aggregates in PAC gradations were affected by objective crushing characteristics as well as structural skeletons. Aggregate particle size distribution of newly-formed-systems of PAC gradations was between those of AC and PAC gradations, more closed to that of AC gradation. Besides, those formed systems have been proved to have better stabilities than control samples of similar air void ratios.
