EVALUATION OF TEXTURE REQUIREMENTS FOR PORTLAND CEMENT CONCRETE PAVEMENTS. FINAL REPORT

The Texas State Department of Highways and Public Transportation (SDHPT) 1982 Standard Specifications required a transverse tine texture that many contractors were having a difficult time producing. In some cases, in order to meet the specifications, the contractors were producing excessively deep textures which lacked durability. This research reviewed current literature and conducted a telephone interview to determine the experience and current practice of other agencies. As a result of this research, the SDHPT Specifications Committee has proposed special provisions for Specification Item 360.
