Title: MAINTENANCE MANAGEMENT OF ROAD PAVEMENTS - LOCAL GOVERNMENT APPROACH
Abstract: This paper presents a pavement routine maintenance inspection chart which lists categorised routine maintenance instructions corresponding with faults that can be detected during routine maintenance inspections. It may serve as a check list for staff who lack sufficient experience but are required to carry out pavement routine maintenance inspections. The paper includes a chart for visual rating of road pavements. The chart is designed to give an insight into the behaviour of flexible pavements and to provide the opportunity to observe many related characteristics from which conclusions can be drawn for pavement evaluation and design. The chart is a categorised and condensed presentation of information on type, cause and severity of distress and methods of treatment. Also, a visual rating index has been developed. Its object is to convert visual manifestations of a number of different modes of pavement distress into a sensitive rating index which can be used for priority allocation and remedial action differentiation.
