Abstract
Installation of deck has been on the rise in Korea recently, but there is little of research on the safety of deck. One of the major factors affecting maneuverability of a pedestrian is frictional force between an outsole of shoe and a surface of the deck. The frictional force is influenced by many factors such as raw material variance of deck, surface convex shape of deck, outsole patterns of shoes, and moist condition of contact surface between deck and shoes. This study focused on evaluating the effect of these factors on the frictional force. Two kinds of deck, which were made of natural wood and wood plastic composite, were used in this study. The surface convex patterns of deck were classified to single nonslip (longitudinal groove processing) and double nonslip (longitudinal and transverse groove processing). Two kinds of shoe outsole patterns, W-shape and rectangle-shape, were used in the tests. Also, the friction tests were carried out at dried surface conditions and water-adsorbed surface condition.
