Runway Friction Measurements, USNAS Barbers Point, Hawaii

Abstract

Runway friction measurements were made at the Naval Air Station, Barbers Point, Hawaii by the Civil Engineering Laboratory from 29 April to 6 May 1976. The friction measurements were made using procedures outlined in NAVFAC INSTRUCTION 11132.14B. Pavement friction coefficients were measured with a Mu-Meter friction recording device. Friction coefficients three minutes after application of water to the pavement ranged from 0.33 to 0.73. Low friction coefficients were attributed to rubber deposits in the primary touchdown areas. Removal of the rubber from these areas is recommended.
