• Description:
  This report describes the testing, and construction details of nine test sections with varying textural characteristics. The impacts of various surface textures (sawed vs. tined, longitudinal vs. transverse, and random vs. uniform spacing) on the frictional and noise characteristics of pavement surface were examined. Skid numbers were acquired according to ASTM E 274 procedure with ribbed-and smooth.-tire (ASTM E 501, and 524) at 40, 50, and 65 mph for all the test sections. Six different types of texture measuring devices were used to measure and compare the amount of texture in each of the test sections. To examine the noise properties of the test sections, noise data were acquired in three different locations: inside of the test vehicle, 25 feet from the center line, and near the right rear tire of the test vehicle away from the exhaust pipe.
