Field Evaluation of Skid Resistant Surfaces, Part I
This project was undertaken to establish a thin bituminous surface course that would possess good skid resistant qualities as well as, being both economical and durable. The study consisted of constructing eleven duplicate 1000 foot test sections on a roadway that carried approximately 9700 vehicles per day. These test sections included four different types of bituminous mixtures, such as, asphaltic concrete, sand asphalt, plant mix seals and slurry seal. The various aggregates used in these test sections consisted of crushed gravel, slag, expanded clay and granite. The evaluation of the test sections was based primarily on the skid resistant qualities of the mixtures with some consideration given to the ease of construction and finished riding surface. Skid resistance was obtained on each of the test sections at approximately four month intervals up to eleven months after completion. At eleven months the final results were obtained on the test sections, which had carried a total of 3,209,346 vehicles. The evaluation included comparisons of skid numbers and roughness results for the various test sections at different time intervals after completion. (BPR abstract)
