Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Ohio, during the last few years, there has been a steady increase in the traffic loads. This traffic, while moving on the pavements, causes the polishing of the surface aggregates. The surface aggregates become slick resulting in skid accidents. This gradual loss of skid resistance of highway pavements, particularly when they are wet, has become a serious problem. This problem has led the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) to conduct a detailed investigation on the properties of the surface aggregates that could experience rapid polishing under traffic and the resulting loss of fiction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research project evaluated the effect of blending Vanport limestone and other aggregates on the frictional surface characteristic properties of constructed trial road surfaces. The study undertook the evaluation of the performance of different mortar fractions and aggregate concentrations to determine the effect of coarse aggregate usage in the top mortar layer on pavement friction performance, as well as the effect of the substitution of different aggregates in place of Vanport limestone. The project developed a test matrix to evaluate the effect of the changes in these factors on portland cement concrete using state-of-the-art laboratory test equipment for assessing surface characteristics and using accelerated wearing for the evaluation of long-term pavement surface performance.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The overall objectives of this research study may be stated as follows: Determine if surface characteristic measurements can be correlated to wet-pavement crashes in Ohio; Provide improved guidance on the use of ribbed versus smooth tires for pavement surface friction testing in Ohio, including the identification of suggested minimum surface friction numbers associated with each tire type; Provide recommended desirable or target surface friction numbers as a function of site categories and friction demand. Accomplishments of these objectives will help ODOT address their goal of reducing total crashes 10 percent and rear-end crashes by 25 percent by 2015.
