Abstract: The open graded asphalt friction course (OGAFC) is a hot mix asphalt wearing course designed and constructed to mainly achieve the benefits of quick surface water drainage, high skid resistance, and low tire-pavement noise. ...

Abstract: Friction properties of open graded asphalt friction course (OGAFC) mixtures play an essential role in ensuring traffic safety, especially under wet weather conditions. This study evaluated the friction characteristics of ...

Abstract: In hilly and high-rainfall regions, very sharp curves, lack of skid resistance, and poor visibility form a major cause for road-traffic accidents in India and other similar parts of the world. The construction of pavements ...
