Title: AIRFIELD PAVEMENT DISTRESS MEASUREMENT AND USE IN PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT
Abstract: This paper describes airfield pavement distress measurement and use procedures that were developed for the U.S. Air Force. The procedures have been implemented by the U.S. Air Force and published by the Federal Aviation Administration. Distress identification, distress data collection procedures, distress data processing, and distress data analysis and use in pavement management are discussed. The paper also describes the pavement condition index (PCI), which is computed based on distress type, severity, and amount. The PCI is measured on a scale from 0 to 100, with 100 being excellent. Both the distress data and PCI provide an invaluable tool for pavement evaluation, determination of maintenance and repair needs, and management at both the project and the network levels. (Author)
