MEASUREMENT OF SERVICEABILITY INDICES FOR NEW, OVERLAY, AND TERMINAL PAVEMENTS IN TEXAS

Serviceability Index (SI) relates to the riding comfort that a section of pavement provides to highway users and is a required input parameter for several design methods. Accurate pavement design requires good estimates of the SI value at key points in the pavement's life: (a) immediately after construction of a new pavement, (b) just before rehabilitation, and (c) just after rehabilitation. The analysis used to find the mean values and the variability of the SI for pavements in Texas during each stage is described.
