Modern increases in traffic density and vehicle performance require an increasingly demanding specification for road surfaces in order to maintain an adequate resistance to skidding. The use of resin-bound surfacing systems, employing refractory-grade calcined bauxite aggregate of about 3 mm in size, has given a significant reduction in accidents at a number of dangerous road sites. This Report gives a summary of existing information relating to the performance of different aggregates in resin-bound surfacings, and relates this performance to the results of Laboratory testing.
