DEVELOPMENT OF A RATING SYSTEM TO DETERMINE THE NEED FOR RESURFACING PAVEMENTS

A RATING SYSTEM TO BE USED AS AN AID IN DETERMINING THE NEED FOR PAVEMENT RESURFACING IS BEING DEVELOPED. THE RATING CONSISTS OF TWO PARTS, ONE A MEASURE OF TWO PARTS, ONE A MEASURE OF PAVEMENT RIDEABILITY (BY PCA ROADMETER) AND THE OTHER A MEASURE OF THE PAVEMENTS STRUCTURAL DEFICIENCIES (BY VISUAL OBSERVATION-FOR CONCRETE, SPALLED OR FAULTED JOINTS, CRACKED PANELS, OR OVERLAID PANELS, AND SCALING OF SURFACE; FOR BITUMINOUS, TRANSVERSE, LONGITUDINAL, MULTIPLE AND ALLIGATOR CRACKING, RUTTING, AND PATCHING). THE PRESENT SERVICEABILITY RATING AND THE STRUCTURAL RATING ARE AVERAGE TO GET A CONDITION RATING. /FHWA/
