Book Description
"This pavement macrotexture guideline is for highway engineers and administrators concerned with the improvement of pavement surface texture as a countermeasure for skidding accidents. A summary is presented of the fundamentals of tire-pavement skid resistance and the importance of pavement surface texture in reducing skidding accidents. This includes a discussion of the skid number and skid number-speed gradient and of the role of pavement surface microtexture and macrotexture in skid resistance. The most commonly used methods of measuring pavement macrotexture are described, and ways of achieving high macrotexture in new pavements and of restoring high macrotexture in existing pavements are given. Higher macrotexture in new pavements can be obtained using open-graded asphalt surface courses and texturing of portland cement concrete surfaces; higher macrotexture in existing surfaces is achieved from open-graded asphalt overlays, pavement grooving, cold milling, and seal coats. The cost-effectiveness considerations in selecting high macrotexture pavement surfaces are also discussed"--Technical report documentation p.

Protocols for Network-level Macrotexture Measurement
Author: Gerardo W. Flintsch
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780309674034
Category : Pavements
Languages : en
Pages : 156
Book Description
Macrotexture, which influences vehicle-roadway skid resistance, refers to the texture of the pavement due to the arrangement of aggregate particles. Pavement surfaces are subjected to seasonal variations, and over time the embedded aggregates become polished due to the onslaught of traffic. Research has shown that wet-weather crashes are influenced by the macrotexture of the pavement surface. The TRB National Cooperative Highway Research Program's NCHRP Research Report 964: Protocols for Network-Level Macrotexture Measurement provides state transportation pavement engineers and other practitioners with recommended protocols for macrotexture test measures, equipment specifications, and data quality assurance practices.

Evaluation of Pavement Friction Characteristics
Author: John Jewett Henry
Publisher: Transportation Research Board
ISBN: 9780309068741
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 76
Book Description
This synthesis report will be of interest to pavement design, construction, management, and research engineers, highway safety officials, and others concerned with pavement friction characteristics. It describes the current state of the practice and discusses the methods used for evaluating wet pavement friction characteristics of new and restored pavements. This synthesis reviews models used for measuring and evaluating friction and texture, causes for friction changes over time, and aggregate and mix design to provide adequate friction. Also presented are construction and surface restoration practices for providing good pavement surface characteristics. In addition, considerations of noise and ride quality are discussed when compromise may be required.
