Experimental and Numerical Calculation of the Friction Performance of a Concrete Surface

The presented self-developed high-precision contact friction test device conducts experimental research on the friction characteristics of concrete pavement. First, the error analysis of the test device is carried out. The structure shows that the test device meets the test requirements. Subsequently, the device was used to carry out experimental research on the friction performance of concrete pavement under different roughness and temperature changes. The results showed that the friction performance of concrete pavement increased with the increase in surface roughness, and decreased with the increase in temperature. It has a small volume and significant stick-slip properties. Finally, the spring slider model is used to simulate the friction characteristics of the concrete pavement, then the shear modulus and viscous force of the concrete material are adjusted to achieve the calculation of the friction force over time under temperature changes, which is consistent with the experimental structure.
