Investigation on Evaluation Method of Slip Resistance of Building Elements and Members With Hands From the View Point of Posture Keeping

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to present the evaluation method of contact resistance between hands and building elements from the view point of safety. In this repot, we firstly carried out sensory test, to make the evaluation scales of posture keeping in slipperiness with hands. Next, we developed the slip meter that could measure the slip resistance of plane samples. Then, coefficients of slip resistance of the plane samples by various slider materials, shapes, vertical loads and pull speeds are searched with the slip meter. Also, the relations are investigated between slip resistance and evaluation scales of posture keeping in slipperiness. As a result, we presented main points of measurement method of slip resistance of building elements and members with hands.
