This Technical Advisory supersedes Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Technical Advisory 5140.10, "Texturing and Skid Resistance of Concrete Pavements and Bridge Decks," dated September 18, 1979. What is the purpose of this Technical Advisory? This Technical Advisory (1) issues information on state-of-the-practice for providing surface texture/friction on pavements and (2) issues guidance for selecting techniques that will provide adequate wet pavement friction and low-tire/surface noise characteristics.ĭoes this Technical Advisory supersede another Technical Advisory? Yes. Are there any reference materials on pavement surface texture/friction?.What factors should be considered when evaluating new or innovative texturing methods for concrete pavement?.
