"Surface dressing has been a popular maintenance alternative for many years. The inservice performance of surface dressing relates to balancing properties such as skid resistance against changes in time as the aggregate particles embed into the underlying road and react to trafficking. This paper summaries the development of predictive laboratory methods to better understand the inter-relationships between embedment and how performance characteristics such discussed. The findings of this laboratory based research appear to rank materials according to their in-service performance and should result in more sustainable use of limited high quality materials for road maintenance and construction purposes.

"ABSTRAKThe use of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composites for the seismic retrofit of columns and piers, flexural strengthening of beams and girders, and strengthening of slabs has been fairly well established on a structural basis. However, aspects related to materials selection and use, design detailing, fracture and failure mechanisms, and durability are still not well understood. The functional efficiency of the rehabilitated structure is largely dependent on materials-related issues, which are highlighted in this paper, emphasizing effects pertaining to constituent materials, interfaces, and overall systems response. Major implications of processing and fabrication schemes are highlighted focusing on materials use efficiency, potential of defect formation, and effects on durability. Examples of the importance of detailing are shown, and design guidelines pertaining to materials are discussed."
