• Abstract:
  This report documents the performance of concrete pavements constructed on I-5 in the vicinity of Federal ; Way, Washington. The pavements were built using three types of texture; carpet drag, longitudinal tining, and ; transverse tining. The pavements were monitored for wear, friction resistance, ride, and tire/pavement noise. The ; purpose of the study was to determine if the carpet drag and longitudinal tining methods of texture were equal to or ; better than the standard transverse tining used by WSDOT and required by FHWA at the time. ; The data showed that the carpet drag and longitudinal tined textures were equal to or better than the transverse ; tined texture with respect to pavement wear and friction resistance. ; Noise levels on the carpet drag and longitudinal tined textured pavements are in the range normally cited for ; either conventional diamond ground or longitudinal tined pavement. ; Additional performance data is reported from three concrete pavement projects located on I-90 in the Spokane ; urban area that used transverse tined and carpet drag textures. Data showed that neither of the textures will ; withstand the wear from studded tires. Friction resistance on these projects was adequate despite the quick removal ; of all texture by studded tire wear. Various mix designs that produced higher flexural strength pavements or ; pavements with higher cement contents did not prove any more resistant to studded tire wear than pavements built ; with standard 650 psi mix designs.
