Since method B specifies the test be run on the individual size fractions, the internal friction between the aggregate particles is higher. As depicted in Fig. 7; basalt type aggregate has higher U content compared to limestone aggregate for all type of crushers. This is due to the mineralogical properties of the basalt aggregate (Topal, 2008).

Long-term skid resistance of HFST was reduced by the addition of MT, however, HFST with MT substitution rate of 25% also maintained a terminal μ 40 and μ 60 above 0.7, which can provide higher friction comparable with other high friction aggregate such as taconite, basalt, emery and flint. To improve the deicing properties by microwave ...

Wang et al. [14] and Liu et al. [15] blended with limestone and basalt, and believed that the attenuation rate of surface friction coefficient decreased after blending. However, due to the fine difference between the polished stone value of the aggregate and the polishing attenuation rate, it is difficult to highlight the advantages of differential polish.

As a new pavement surface treatment, thin friction course (TFC) is mixed with asphalt emulsion, SBR modifier, single particle size basalt aggregate, and cement. In this study, a test apparatus derived from the pure direct shear test was proposed to investigate the effects of design parameters and moisture conditions on the interface strength.

Secondly, it can clearly be seen that basalt fine aggregate had higher angularity values than that of dolerite aggregate. According to literatures [24,25], higher angularity will result in better aggregate interlocking and higher friction coefficient, which also consistent with the BPN results discussed in Figure 9.

The findings reveal that EAFS-UTFC exhibits superior surface roughness, enhanced wear resistance, and comparable shear strength to Basalt-UTFC. The dynamic friction coefficient (μ) between EAF ...

Recently, the application of ultra-thin friction courses, UTFC (less than 10 mm thick) made of open-graded fine-grained basalt aggregates (particle size of 2.36 ∼ 4.75 mm) and high-viscosity emulsified asphalt has been widely adopted in high-grade highways and municipal roads in China, as shown in Fig. 1(a) [8].

According to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Every Day Counts program, the high friction surface treatment (HFST) is commonly used to enhance surface friction of asphalt pavement at high crash rate locations such as such as horizontal curves, deceleration ramps, and intersection approaches [7].The HFST is a specially engineered ultrathin overlay in …
