SKID RESISTANCE OF BITUMINOUS SURFACES

SEVEN YEARS OF NEW YORK STATE RESEARCH IN SKID-RESISTANCE MEASUREMENT OF BITUMINOUS SURFACES ARE SUMMARIZED. DEVELOPMENT OF A SKID TRAILER AND TEST PROCEDURE ARE DISCUSSED. SKID TESTING IS RECOMMENDED ONLY AFTER 5 MILLION VEHICLES HAVE PASSED OVER A SURFACE, SO THAT FRICTION COEFFICIENT HAS DECLINED TO A STABLE LEVEL. TESTING SHOWS THAT LARGEST MIX AGGREGATES, RATHER THAN FINES, CONTROL SKID RESISTANCE, WHICH REMAINS AT A HIGHER LEVEL WHEN HARD PARTICLES RESISTANT TO POLISHING ARE INCLUDED. /AUTHOR/
