• Abstract:
  This report presents a 5-year evaluation and construction details of nine test sections with varying textural characteristics. Included in the report is an overview of the methodologies used to texture concrete pavement surfaces and a discussion of frictional attributes of various textures at different speeds and their impact on noise properties. Also included are descriptions of texture-measuring devices and texture-installing equipment, a description of the state-of-the-art equipment used to acquire sound pressure levels, plus a thorough discussion of data acquisition/analysis. Frictional characteristics of the individual test sections were evaluated using the ASTM E 274 skid test procedure. Ribbed-tire and smooth-tire friction tests were conducted to acquire skid numbers at three different speeds of 40, 50, and 65 mph. To examine the noise properties of the test sections, noise measurements were acquired to acoustically assess the impact of various surface textures at three different locations:• Inside the test vehicle• 25 feet from the centerline (3 feet away from the right shoulder)• Near the right rear tire of the test vehicle, away from the exhaust pipe.
