EVALUATION OF PAVEMENTS TO DETERMINE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
CONTRARY TO NORMAL PRACTICE EMPLOYED IN THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF A MODERN HIGHWAY, THE MAINTENANCE ASPECTS OF PROVIDING THIS FACILITY ARE SELDOM BASED ON ADEQUATE PRE-ENGINEERING AND EVALUATION DATA. SUFFICIENT TIME IS SELDOM AVAILABLE TO PERFORM A THOROUGH DIAGNOSIS OF THE MAINTENANCE PROBLEM THROUGH CONVENTIONAL SAMPLING AND TESTING TECHNIQUES. A METHOD OF PAVEMENT EVALUATION BASED ON SURFACE DEFLECTIONS AND OBSERVED PERFORMANCE OF EXISTING ROUTES IS DESCRIBED AND SUMMARIZED IN THE FORM OF CHARTS WHICH PERMIT A READY APPRAISAL OF THE PROBLEM AS AN AID IN THE ESTABLISHMENT OF MAINTENANCE WARRANTS AND HIGHWAY PLANNING. /AUTHOR/
