An investigation consisting mainly of a literature review and a review of current research done outside NCEL was conducted to determine the methods needed to provide safe, skid-resistant surfaces on Navy and Marine Corps airfied pavements. Much of the information reported herein serves to update the information contained in NCEL Technical Report R-303 (AD-602 930). For example, new information is included on friction-measuring methods, correlation of the measuring methods, factors affecting friction coefficients, minimum requirements for skid resistance, and methods of improving the skid resistance of slippery pavements. However, some new topics which are of recent interest are also discussed in detail. These topics include hydroplaning, the mechanism of rubber friction, the friction associated with various operating modes of aircraft tires, the relationship of friction coefficients to pavement surface texture and to surface drainage of water, and the effects of pavement grooving on hydroplaning and on friction coefficients. All the information from the investigation is summarized, and recommendations are given for research and development efforts needed to provide safe, skid-resistant surfaces for airfield pavements.
