High Performance Concrete Pavement: Pavement Texturing and Tire-Pavement Noise
The importance of surface texture characteristics to roadway safety was first recognized during the late 1940s and early 1950s when increases in traffic volumes and vehicle speeds resulted in increases in wet-weather crashes and fatalities. As a result, agencies conducted extensive research (including experimental projects around the country) to better understand and improve the surface conditions of Portland cement concrete (PCC) pavement in wet-weather conditions. As new surface texturing methods were tried and evaluated, pavement engineers recognized the corresponding influence of the texture (type, characteristics, and quality) on tire-pavement interaction noise. Specifically, it was recognized that a general trade-off existed between friction and noise; i.e., surface textures with higher friction also tended to have greater tire-pavement noise. The noise associated with tire-pavement interactions has been a concern of pavement engineers for nearly 50 years, but it has received particular attention over the past decade. The purpose of this document is to identify and summarize key texture-related information and recommendations based on the current state of the practice. Specifically, this document provides a brief summary of texture-related research; introduces pavement texture nomenclature; discusses the measurement of texture, surface friction, and tire-pavement noise; describes traditional and innovative texturing methods/techniques; summarizes respective conclusions pertaining to the influence of texture characteristics on surface friction, tire-pavement noise, and surface durability; and provides current state-of-the-art texture-related recommendations.
