1 Exploring Time -Dependent Relationship between Polishing and Friction behaviour of Pavement in the Lab and in the Field on Ohio By Omid Ghaemi Staff Geotechnical Engineer, MSCE,MBA GEOTECH ENGINEERING, INC. OTEC 2015 Columbus, Ohio October 27th,

2 1. Statement of the Problem. 2. Objectives of the Research. 3. Accelerated Polishing Device for HMA surface 4. The long term field study between SN and BPN. 5. explore the time-dependent relationships between lab data and field data 2

4 UA Accelerated Polishing Device for HMA surface and 4

5 1. Test small-size HMA specimens 6 cylindrical gyratory compacted and 18 roller compacted slab specimens. 2. It is fast, comfortable, repeatable, efficient 3. Show trend polishing behavior anticipated time. 4. Simulate polishing and abrasion behavior of HMA in the field for screening polishing and friction properties. 5

29 Conclusions 1. A predictive method is recommended for new pavement sections by using the lab equation and traffic conditions.this method is designed based on the initial value and minimum value in the lab and in the field 2. Time-dependent curve fitting to develop predictive equations in each pavement section with specific Job Mix Formulas. 3. SN(64)R and BPN have high correlation because of both devices are sensitive to micro-texture. 29
