RESISTANCE OF VARIOUS TYPES OF BITUMINOUS CONCRETE AND CEMENT CONCRETE TO WEAR BY STUDDED TIRES
THE RESISTANCE OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF CONCRETE AND BITUMINOUS MIXTURES TO WEAR BY STUDDED TIRES WAS DETERMINED THROUGH FIELD TEST AND LITERATURE REVIEWED. MIX DESIGN CRITERIA FOR BETTER RESISTANCE TO WEAR WERE DESIGNED. A SIMPLE AND PRACTICAL APPARATUS WAS DEVELOPED FOR MEASURING WEAR IN THE FIELD. THE RATE OF WEAR, CALCULATED FROM TRAFFIC DATA AND THE WEAR PROFILE, IS DEFINED AS THE AVERAGE WEAR DEPTH OF A 6-IN WIDE STRIP OF PAVEMENT CAUSED BY 100,000 PASSES OF STUDDED TIRES. THE WEAR RATE OF CONCRETE SLAB SURFACES DURING A 4-YEAR PERIOD WAS DETERMINED. SIX CONCRETE MIXTURES AND SIX BITUMINOUS MIXTURES WERE SUBJECTED TO INVESTIGATION AT A TOLLGATE. WEAR RATE OF PAVEMENT ON THE HIGHWAY WAS ALSO ESTIMATED BY OBSERVING THE CHANGE IN COLOR OF CYLINDERS INSERTED IN THE PAVEMENT FLUSH WITH THE SURFACE. /AUTHOR/
