A study was made on the deterioration effects of deliberate grooving on airfield pavements. Grooving is done to reduce hydroplaning and skidding. Grooved pavements were inspected at four civilian and one military airfield. The inspection included portland cement concrete (PCC) runways at four airfields and asphaltic concrete (AC) runways at two airfields, all of which had been grooved within 2 years before the inspection. Grooves in all PCC runways were in excellent condition with no evidence of deterioration except in one case where numerous small popouts and weatherouts have occurred. Grooving had apparently contributed to an increase in these defects. The AC runways showed minor groove deterioration in some areas, and some obliteration of the grooves in one touchdown area. Rubber deposits in grooves have occurred in both PCC and AC pavements, but no removal of the rubber was required. (Author)
