Alternatives for Runway Rubber Removal from Porous Friction Surfaces

Download or read book Alternatives for Runway Rubber Removal from Porous Friction Surfaces written by R. Gordon McKeen and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Review of existing rubber removal techniques was conducted. Evaluation of the effectiveness, cost, simplicity, safety, and environmental effects was ascertained when the reviewed techniques are applied solely to porous friction surfaces (PFS). Indications are that high-pressure water removal techniques should be effective on PFS. It was also indicated that chemical removal methods may be proven effective if the asphaltic binder is sufficiently chemical-resistant. However, both techniques should be evaluated on pavement test sections comprised of PFS.
