| Skid resistance of waxed and unwaxed smooth floor surfaces |
1962 |
231 |
For many years it has been recognized that slippery floors are a safety hazard. Researchers have been attempting to measure the antislip properties of smooth surface floors since 1926. In no instance has evidence been presented which rates the availa... |
| Testing skid resistance of smooth surfaces using various sizes of rubber and leather shoe heels |
1963 |
270 |
Smooth floor surface materials are advertised and promoted mainly from the standpoint of their attractiveness and ease of maintenance. Except in technical journals, relatively little information is available on the skid resistance properties of floor... |
| Appraisal of gloss and slipperiness of resilient floor covering materials |
1963 |
257 |
Perhaps man has always been attracted to surfaces which have a high degree of gloss. Within recent years, the resilient floor covering industry has capitalized on this by producing materials which possess a high shine, along with such features as dur... |
| House furnishing practices as they relate to the family life cycle and certain selected factors |
1965 |
242 |
The purposes of the study were as follows: 1. To identify the items of furnishings acquired by families and to determine how the items were obtained, length of ownership and plans for replacement, renovation or additions during the next year. 2. To d... |
| The relationship of gloss and skid resistance of specific floor surfaces |
1965 |
210 |
The objectives of this study were to correlate gloss and force of friction of diversely finished unpolished wood floor surfaces; to correlate gloss and force of friction for unpolished hard and resilient floor surfaces; and to determine the effect of... |
| Testing of skid resistances of hard floor surfaces using various shoe heel materials |
1965 |
222 |
The purposes of this study were as follows: 1. To determine the coefficients of friction between hard floor surfaces (ceramic tile, terrazzo, concrete, and aggregate) and various heel materials (leather, rubber, rubber crepe, Neolite, and nylon). 2. ... |
| Housing characteristics of North Carolina households with incomes of less than $5,000 |
1966 |
277 |
An analysis of housing characteristics of North Carolina households with incomes under $5,000 was made in which housing characteristics of households with incomes under $3,000 were compared with those having incomes between $3,000-$4,999 by inside an... |
| Analysis of gloss values of unpolished and polished floor surfaces and finishes |
1966 |
214 |
The objectives of this study were to determine differences in gloss values among various unpolished and polished resilient floor coverings, hard floor materials, and wood floor finishes; and to compare differences in gloss values (l) among various fl... |
| Skid resistance of wood floor finishes under varying surface conditions |
1966 |
369 |
The objectives of this study were to determine the coefficients of friction of various combinations of wood floor finishes and heel materials; to determine the effect of wood floor waxes on the frictional values of wood floor finish and heel material... |
