Aggregate and binder application rate with different number of passes for surface dressing performance

Surface dressing is a very useful and cost effective process for restoring skid resistance to a road surface that is structurally sound. In the new roads adequate surface texture is designed in the running surface by specifying requirements for both aggregate properties and texture depth. The object...
