• Abstract:
  Reported herein are the results of the final phase of THD Study 2-8-69-138. This phase of the study is concerned with the effect of various water depths (obtained with a rain simulator) on the friction properties of various pavement textures at different levels of vehicular speeds and tire-tread depths, tire pressures, and tire types. Equations relating these variables are also developed and the relative effects of the variable determined. Tabular and figurative methods are utilized to present the results. Background information and pertinent past research pertaining to effects of water depth on pavement friction are given.
