RATING FLEXIBLE PAVEMENT SURFACE CONDITION

AFTER A STUDY OF EXISTING METHODS OF RATING OR EVALUATING SURFACE CONDITION OF FLEXIBLE HIGHWAY PAVEMENTS, THE SASKATCHEWAN DEPARTMENT OF HIGHWAYS CONCLUDED THAT NONE WERE SUITABLE FOR ITS REQUIREMENTS. THEREFORE A MORE APPLICABLE METHOD WAS DEVELOPED AND PUT INTO ROUTINE USE. DEFINITIONS FOR SURFACE CONDITION DEFECTS ARE GIVEN, THE PRINCIPLES BEHIND THE RATING METHOD ARE DISCUSSED, AND THE PROCEDURES FOR USING THE RATING FORM ARE OUTLINED. IN THREE YEARS OF USE, THE METHOD HAS PROVEN TO BE SATISFACTORY FOR COMPARATIVE CONDITION STUDIES AND FOR PROVIDING QUANTITATIVE BASES FOR CAPITAL MAINTENANCE BUDGETARY AND ACTION REQUIREMENTS. /CGRA/RRL/
