Wet and dry runway friction tests were conducted on bituminous concrete Runway 18-36 at Washington National Airport using a Fixed Slip Runway Friction Tester. These tests were conducted to determine if significant friction changes were generated as a result of grooving the runway surface with 1/8- by 1/8-inch-transverse grooves spaced on 1-inch centers. Data analysis indicates that at test speeds of 10 to 60 mph, no appreciable increase or decrease in overall runway friction values was obtained for this series of tests. The treatment of the runway surface, however, by the cutting of uniformly spaced grooves markedly smoothed the resultant wet runway friction values. It is hypothesized that these smoother wet runway friction values result in a surface that affords more efficient operation of aircraft antiskid braking devices and more effective manual braking.
