Abstract

The phenomenon of hydroplaning as it applies to highway pavement surfaces is discussed. A parameter involving the degree of wheel spin-down as a vehicle travels through a known depth of water was used as the criterion to study the effects of water depth, tire pressure, tread depth, and wheel load on the hydroplaning susceptibility of Portland cement concrete and gravel seal coat surfaces.
