Check out the section on resuspension withen the following document 
(availible on the DOE technical standards web page):

DOE HANDBOOK AIRBORNE RELEASE FRACTIONS/RATES AND RESPIRABLE FRACTIONS FOR 
NONREACTOR NUCLEAR FACILITIES

We are considering developing a handbook for radiological engineers on ALARA and
radiological control techniques and methods.  one of the things we would like to
include in this handbook is planning for airborne contamination situations. I 
remember seeing somewhere a table or chart of resuspension factors for surface 
contamination under various conditions such as walking, sweeping, wire brushing,
welding, grinding, etc.  It would also be nice to cover various surface 
conditions such as dry, smooth, porous, wet, oily, etc.
