A STUDY OF THE WEAR CHARACTERISTICS OF SKID RESISTANCE OF SELECTED ASPHALT CONCRETE OVERLAYS

THE MATERIALS, DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION, AND RESEARCH TESTING OF THIN ASPHALT CONCRETE WEARING SURFACES ARE REPORTED ON SEVENTEEN DIFFERENT TEST SECTIONS WERE CONSTRUCTED USING 12 AGGREGATE TYPES. THE AGGREGATE MATERIALS USED IN THE DESIGN MIXES WERE CHOSEN BECAUSE OF THEIR POTENTIAL USE IN FLORIDA'S WEARING SURFACES. THE AIM IS TO DETERMINE THE SKID RESISTANCE AND WEARING QUANTITIES OF THE SURFACES USED. /AUTHOR/
