Optimizing Friction and Noise Properties of Preservation Treatments
项目名称: Optimizing Friction and Noise Properties of Preservation Treatments
摘要: Nowadays, federal, state and local highway agencies are increasing the demands on the performance and functionality of preservation treatments. It is no longer sufficient to extend the structural performance of a pavement structure but there are demands in terms of friction, noise, drainability. The technical objective of this joint study between UT Austin and UH Manoa will be to evaluate surface treatments used in Hawaii and Texas in terms of texture, friction and pavement-noise. Field sections in both states will be evaluated and monitored during the duration of the project to establish meaningful relationships between texture, friction and noise. These relationships will then be analyzed as a function of the properties of the surface treatment. From these analyses, guidelines will be established that will enable the highway agencies to select the best treatment based on joint requirements of noise level and skid requirements. These guidelines could be used by the state departments of transportation (DOTs) for establishing technical specifications.
