ANALYSIS OF PAVEMENT ROUTINE MAINTENANCE ACTIVITIES IN INDIANA

An analysis of pavement routine maintenance costs for the state highway system in Indiana is presented. The data base includes pavement maintenance records for 4 years, 1980-1983. The results include a trend analysis as well as a correlation analysis. First, the total cost trends as well as individual activity costs are examined. Then the resource consumption trends are analyzed in terms of labor and materials use. Finally, a statistical correlation analysis is presented in order to examine the relationship of maintenance expenditures in the earlier years and the level of maintenance expenditures in subsequent years. The analysis showed high correlation between maintenance expenditures in a given year and the expenditures of the previous 2 or 3 years. The results of this study should be of direct use in the planning and management of annual pavement maintenance programs.
