Methods for Reducing the Slipperiness of Painted Runway Markings

Abstract

The project investigated four test sections on asphaltic concrete (AC) and eight test sections on Portland cement concrete (PCC) for methods of reducing runway paint marking slipperiness. Periodic paint removal enables AC surfaces to maintain adequate skid resistance. Mixing small, angular aggregate with the glass spheres for the standard airfield marking maintains skid resistance at least equal to that of the adjacent unmarked pavement.
