Field assessment of three-dimensional surface texture and frictional properties of experimental Canadian road pavements

Three-Dimensional (3D) texture measurement and pavement friction evaluations were conducted at the test-track of the Centre for Pavement and Transportation Technology at the University of Waterloo, Canada. The test-rack consists of 10 types of flexible and rigid pavement sections with various mixture designs. These experimental sections were subjected to frequent heavy truck loadings and harsh climatic conditions in Canada. This research was to …
