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.
