A COMPREHENSIVE PAVEMENT EVALUATION SYSTEM APPLIED TO CONTINUOUSLY REINFORCED CONCRETE PAVEMENT

This paper presents a comprehensive pavement evaluation system developed at the Joint Highway Research Project, Purdue Unviersity. In addition to the purpose of presenting the method, a secondary purpose is to demonstrate the use of the method as it was used to evaluate continuously reinforced concrete pavements (CRCPs) in Indiana. The evaluation sytem consists of a hierarchy of increasingly detailed pavement survey strategies--reconnaissance surveys, condition surveys, and evaluation surveys. The complete system, encompassing the three different types of surveys, permits an evaluation of maintenance priorities conveniently with the determination of the reasons for pavement deterioration. Although the demonstration system as applied to CRCP is incidental to the central theme of the paper, it contributes to the understanding of the comprehensive evaluation system. The paper presents a summary of the results obtained at the completion of each stage of CRCP evaluation. Some of the significant findings of the CRCP study and the resultant maintenance strategies are also included. /Author/
