THE EFFECT OF AGGREGATE ON THE SKIDDING RESISTANCE TO BITUMINOUS SURFACINGS: FACTORS OTHER THAN RESISTANCE TO POLISHING

Resistance to polishing is the most important single characteristic of an aggregate in determining the resistance to skidding of a bituminous road surfacing. The report describes a study that has been made of other characteristics of aggregates that have been thought to influence resistance to skidding. /Modified author abstract/
