The study of pavement skid resistance and surface texture analysis is central to understanding road safety and the longevity of asphalt pavements. At its core, skid resistance represents the ...

Premature finishing, overworking the surface and inadequate curing are typical causes of surface defects on exterior slabs. Some of these defects include premature wear, scaling, mortar flaking and ...

When considering pavement maintenance, chip seal, slurry seal, microsurfacing, or asphalt overlay generally come to mind. These methods each have their advantages and disadvantages. However, combining ...

Being able to quantify a surface finish is both a complex and necessary task. While surface topography relates to a three-dimensional property, the most accepted surface measurement parameter is ...
