Effects of Sawed-Groove Texturing on Concrete Bridge Decks
This report discusses the experimental application of a sawed-groove texture on two New York bridge decks and one operational use of diamond grinding to rectify an aggravated friction problem on a third deck. While tine-texturing has been the chosen concrete texturing method in New York, the inability to obtain grooves deep enough to provide a long-lasting, high-friction surface on bridge decks generated interest to attempt sawing grooves in new decks. Though used widely for restoring texture on worn concrete pavements, this method had not been generally accepted or promoted for use on new concrete decks. The purpose of this project was to determine if sawing a new concrete deck to produce texture would adversely affect the durability of the surface, and also to assess the frictional properties and durability of the texture itself as compared to tined surfaces.
