Summary
This is a machine-generated summary.
(1) The Ministry of Transport's Department of Highway Administration has released a revised version of the "Specifications for Quality Inspection and Evaluation of Highway Maintenance Engineering (First Edition)" (JTG 5220) to address issues that have arisen since its publication. According to Article 5.2.2 of the original standard, the skid resistance of asphalt concrete surface layer should meet the design requirements. However, some local authorities have reported difficulties in enforcing this standard due to a lack of clear requirements in the design documents for highway maintenance projects. To ensure the scientific and standardized nature of highway maintenance engineering, the Ministry of Transport has organized a panel of experts to review and revise the standard. The revised Article 5.2.2 now provides the following guidelines for the skid resistance of asphalt mixture surface layer (SMA) on highways:
(2) During the inspection of completed projects, the skid resistance of SMA surface layer should meet the requirements specified in the design documents. If no specific requirements are provided in the design documents, the skid resistance should meet the standards listed in the table below.
(3) During the final acceptance inspection, the skid resistance of SMA surface layer should meet the requirements specified in the design documents. If no specific requirements are provided in the design documents, the lateral friction coefficient should be no less than 40 and the construction depth should be no less than 0.45mm.
(4) During the combined inspection of completed and in-progress projects, the skid resistance requirements for SMA surface layer should be implemented in accordance with the first point above.
(5) The surface layer of SMA should meet the requirements specified in the design documents and the "Specifications for Asphalt Pavement Construction Technology" (JTG F40).
(6) The device used for detecting the lateral friction coefficient should have a valid calibration certificate. The detection of lateral friction coefficient should be carried out in accordance with the "Specifications for Highway Pavement Field Testing" (JTG 3450).
