• Abstract:
  Concrete pavements can be designed and constructed to be as quiet as any other conventional pavement type in use today. This report ; provides an overview of how this can be done—and done consistently. ; In order to construct a quieter concrete pavement, the texture must have certain fundamental characteristics. While innovative ; equipment and techniques have shown promise for constructing quieter pavements in the future, quieter concrete pavements are ; routinely built today all across the United States using the following standard nominal concrete pavement textures: drag, longitudinal ; tining, diamond grinding, and even, to limited extent, transverse tining. ; This document is intended to serve as a guide that describes better practices for designing, constructing, and texturing quieter concrete ; pavements.
