Evaluation of skidding performance of asphalt surface using Griptester and British skid Pendulum device

Good road means comfort for road users. The texture of road surface is very important for road users, to prevent road accidents from happening. If seen in highways, many tools are used to measure the slip road surface. Tools such as the British Pendulum and Grip tester are often used to test the sli...
