IMPROVEMENT IN THE ADHESION OF BITUMINOUS RUNWAYS BY MEANS OF GROOVING. TESTS ON THE LYON-BRON AIRPORT

AMELIORATIAN PAR STRIAGE DE L'ADHERENCE DES PISTES EN ENROBES. ESSAIS SUR L'AEORODROME DE LYON-BRON

This article describes grooving tests on a 5400 M squared surface of asphaltic concrete containing siliceous-limestone 0/16 aggregate and 6% bitumen. Grooving was carried out by means of diamond discs under water spraying. The costs of the various operations are quoted together with the coefficients of friction measured before and after grooving. /TRRL/
