摘要: |
Due to the frequency of high intensity short-duration rainfall events in Florida, vehicular hydroplaning is a serious concern, especially at the Interstate and other limited access facilities. Along with pavement cross-slope and rutting, the surface texture of an asphalt pavement plays a critical role in the prevention of hydroplaning on high-speed, multi-lane facilities. In order to minimize problems of this nature, Florida, in the mid 1970's, developed a friction course (FC-2) which was a 3/8-inch Nominal Maximum Aggregate Size (NMAS) open graded mixture (with polish resistant aggregate) placed approximately 12 inch thick. In the 1990's, the FC-2 was eventually replaced by a slight coarser open graded friction course (FC-5), which is a 12 inch NMAS mixture, placed approximately inch thick. A number of European countries, as well as several states in the US (Georgia, Oregon, Texas) have developed a 'porous friction course' which is an open graded friction course placed in thicknesses ranging from 1 14 to 2 inches thick. / NOTE:Final rept. |
