• Abstract:
  This report summarizes work completed by Research Project 123 at the Center for Highway Research concerning skid resistance considerations in Flexible Pavement System (FPS). The study traces the progression of analysis and the development of a skid resistance decay model. Also presented is a method which the design engineer may find useful in applying skid resistance considerations to FPS. The method allows the elimination from FPS of those aggregates which would not provide adequate skid resistance performance for the given roadway requirements.
