"This report will be of interest to state DOT pavement engineers, environmental specialists, and noise analysts. The relationship between pavement surface texture and highway traffic noise is discussed. Information for the synthesis was collected by surveying state transportation agencies and by conducting a literature search of both domestic and foreign publications."--Avant-propos.
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 in the report 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 testing procedure.
