Evaluation of pavement surface friction treatments : [technical summary].
The implementation of a pavement preservation program involves a learning curve with not only a determination to succeed, but also the courage to fail. Successful implementation of pavement preservation program requires knowledge of the performance of pavement preservation surface treatments over time, which is critical to the development of performance models for pavement management analysis. Additionally, preservation surface treatments, such as chip seal, fog seal, microsurfacing, and 4.75-mm thin or ultra-thin overlay, can not only repair certain pavement surface defects, but also change the surface characteristics of pavement and therefore affect pavement surface friction performance. Nevertheless, such information is currently not available but is essential for the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) to evaluate the effectiveness of pavement preservation surface treatments. As a concentrated effort, this study focused on the long-term friction performance of preservation surface treatments, particularly those have been widely used and those have seen increasing use by INDOT.
