APPLICATION OF NETWORK-LEVEL PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM TECHNOLOGY TO A UNIQUE PAVEMENT DETERIORATION PROBLEM

A study is described that was conducted in response to the premature deterioration of dense friction course/open friction course (DFC/OFC) hot mix surfaces with steel slag aggregates in the greater Toronto area. The deterioration manifested itself in the form of severe raveling and early formation of map cracking. A network-level pavement management system (PMS) was applied to this unique problem. A pavement condition evaluation was conducted, and a steel slag DFC/OFC-specific deterioration model was developed. The application of the PMS has been efficient. It facilitated estimating the rehabilitation needs, prioritizing the rehabilitation strategies, and demonstrating the most cost-effective budget.
