Portable, easy-to-use<br />
Field friction testing (International Friction Index from the DFT and CTM) was<br />
repeatable, and the results consistent. Initial testing included six individual runs of<br />
each test per test section. Because of good repeatability, this was reduced to three<br />
repeatable runs. Loose sand must be swept before running DFT and CTM tests, or<br />
it will increase apparent surface texture, giving erroneously high calculated IFI<br />
measurements.<br />
