Abstract

Data from a pavement evaluation program implemented on U. S. Army airfields are presented to indicate both the predominant surface distresses and the structural adequacy of the pavements. Comparison of deterioration rates in terms of the pavement condition index (PCI) is presented by relating PCI to service age. An assessment of construction quality of both PCC and AC surfaces is made by comparing tests on core samples to design requirements. The method for selection of alternatives for routine maintenance, major maintenance, rehabilitation, and reconstruction is presented.
