SELECTION AND ASSESSMENT OF LOCATIONS IN DUBLIN CITY FOR THE EXPERIMENTAL APPLICATION OF "SHELLGRIP"
The "Shellgrip" system consists of a very hard and durable abrasion-resistant aggregate, calcinated bauxite, embedded in a tough flexible epoxy resin compound. Dublin Corporation decided in Autumn 1983 to apply this treatment, which provides a very high level of resistance to skidding, to suitable locations on the city streets. This short report presents a list of suggested sites selected on the basis of accident occurrence. In addition, it was decided to measure the present levels of skid resistance at these locations and at some other possible locations for the corporation. The results, measured using SCRIM, are presented in the report. (TRRL)
