Book excerpt: 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.

Download or read book Gravel Roads written by Ken Skorseth and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this manual is to provide clear and helpful information for maintaining gravel roads. Very little technical help is available to small agencies that are responsible for managing these roads. Gravel road maintenance has traditionally been "more of an art than a science" and very few formal standards exist. This manual contains guidelines to help answer the questions that arise concerning gravel road maintenance such as: What is enough surface crown? What is too much? What causes corrugation? The information is as nontechnical as possible without sacrificing clear guidelines and instructions on how to do the job right.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2012, Dynatest conducted friction testing for the Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) on a representative subset of its State Trunk Highway Network. Friction testing was performed at 3,394 sites in accordance with ASTM E274 using a Dynatest 1295 Pavement Friction Tester. Testing was conducted using the ASTM E501 standard rib tire and skid numbers were adjusted (if necessary) to a speed of 40 mph (SN40R). The testing involved a variety of hot mix asphalt pavement mixtures (including stone matrix asphalt), concrete surface textures, pavement ages, and functional classifications throughout Wisconsin and the frictional characteristics were analyzed several different ways. In general, the weighted average SN40R for hot mix asphalt, stone matrix asphalt, and concrete pavements were 51.6, 42.5, and 49.5, respectively. The weighted average SN40R for the different functional classifications ranged from 50.4 to 55.5 for the rural classifications and from 41.4 to 49.9 for the urban classifications. The weighted average SN40R decreased slightly as HMA and concrete pavement ages increased. The average friction of SMA, on the other hand, was shown to increase slightly as the pavements aged. Lastly, some crash sites within the tested segments were identified and analyzed. The results showed that the frictional characteristics at these sites were comparable to other pavement sites throughout the state.

Book excerpt: Sponsored by the Low Impact Development Committee of the Urban Water Resources Research Council of the Environmental and Water Resources Institute of ASCE Permeable Pavements is a comprehensive resource for the proper design, construction, and maintenance of permeable pavement systems that provide a transportation surface and a best management practice for stormwater and urban runoff. A cornerstone for low impact development (LID) and sustainable site design, permeable pavements are considered a green infrastructure practice. They offer many environmental benefits, from reduced stormwater runoff and improved water quality to better site design and enhanced safety of paved surfaces. Commonly used for walkways, driveways, patios, and low-volume roadways as well as recreational areas, parking lots, and plazas, permeable pavements are appropriate for many different land uses, particularly in highly urbanized locations. This volume synthesizes today's knowledge of the technology, drawing from academia, industry, and the engineering and science communities. It presents an overview of typical permeable pavement systems and reviews the design considerations. Detailed design, construction, use, and performance information is provided for porous asphalt, pervious concrete, permeable interlocking concrete pavement, and grid pavements. Fact sheets and checklists help to successfully incorporate permeable pavement systems into design projects. Additional chapters summarize emerging technologies, maintenance considerations, hydrologic design approaches, key components for specification writing, and key areas for additional research. Appendixes include a fact sheet clarifying information on common concerns, as well as data tables summarizing water quality treatment performance and costs. Permeable Pavements is an essential reference for engineers, planners, landscape architects, municipalities, transportation agencies, regulatory agencies, and property owners planning to implement this best management practice for stormwater and urban runoff.
