Claim 20:
21. A permeable, reinforced pavement composition comprising:
a first quantity of a pavement material; and
a second quantity of a Cured Carbon Fiber Composite Material (CCFCM) comprising carbon fibers incorporated with a thermoplastic binding polymer;
wherein a concentration of the second quantity of CCFCM ranges from 0.15 weight percent of CCFCM to 6 weight percent of CCFCM per total weight of the permeable, reinforced pavement composition;
wherein a particle size of the second quantity of CCFCM is smaller than 3.35 mm and larger than 2 mm; and
wherein the permeable, reinforced pavement composition comprises a hardened porosity of from 15 weight percent air voids to 35 weight percent air voids per total weight of the permeable, reinforced pavement composition, as measured by ASTM test standard C1754.
