The performance of the pavement in terms vehicle safety and tire wear is affected by friction behavior pavement. To highlight main characteristics that affect production better resistance surface this work. micro-texture macro-texture asphalt Baghdad Airport highway were studied using two methods: (sand patch method British pendulum test). sand was examined drawing grains a specific volume, whi...

Skid resistance and road condition are common indices of road safety; therefore providing adequate skidding resistance will reduce the incidence of road accidents. The surface macrotexture has a large effect on the characteristics of road surface skidding, which is the focus of this research. During the study, the mean texture depth of the road surface was measured, in order to determine the co...

Interlocking Paving Blocks (IPB) are, nowadays, a widely used construction material. As result of the surge in demand for IPBs, alternative materials have been investigated to be IPBs. This study strength and durability characteristics (compressive strength, split tensile density, water absorption, skid resistance, abrasion resistance) IPBs presence (waste materials) crumb rubber (CR) coconut c...
