FUNDAMENTAL STUDY ON METHOD TO KEEP THE SLIP RESISTANCE OF FLOORS WITH FIBERED FOOTWEAR

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to present the validity of method to keep the slip resistance with fibered footwear by setting up convexity on the floor. First, we made sample floors which had convexities with several figured and measured C. S. R (Coefficient of Slip Resistance) with slip meter named "O-Y・PSM" developed by H. ONO. We presented the relation between C. S. R and elements of convexities figuration. Second, we established the validity of the method from a view point of stumbling and the pain caused by contact with the floor. Finally, we presented the validity of floors with convexity to keep the slip resistance with fibered footwear.
