Pavement Evaluation

“Pavement evaluation is a technique of assessing the condition of a pavement, both structurally and from the point of view of surface characteristics”  Objectives; 





To research on the performance of pavements of different specifications over a period of time To assess maintenance needs such as patch repairs, renewals and resealing To assess the need for structural overlay on distressed pavements

Pavement Evaluation

Pavement Evaluation is a Measure of Pavement Performance  Pavement Performance is a function of its relative ability to serve traffic over a period of time (Highway Research Board, 1962).  Evaluation

Categories

 Roughness

(often called “smoothness”)  Surface Distress  Skid Resistance  Structural Evaluation Pavement Evaluation

Objective of various system of measurement (roughness meter, deflection, skid resistance equipment, visual distress survey....etc.)  



Establish maintenance priorities Determine maintenance and rehabilitation strategies Predict pavement performance

Pavement Roughness “is an expression of irregularities in the pavement surface that adversely affect the ride quality of vehicle (and thus the user).”

Roughness Measurement

Present Serviceability Rating (PSR) "The judgment of an observer as to the current ability of a pavement to serve the traffic it is meant to serve" (Highway Research Board, 1962).

Roughness Measurement

International Roughness Index (IRI) "IRI is used to define a characteristic of the longitudinal profile of a traveled wheel track and constitutes a standardized roughness measurement. The commonly recommended units are meters per kilometer (m/km) or millimeters per meter (mm/m).”

Measurement Techniques

Categories of Equipments for roughness survey data collection • Profilographs …..for rigid pavement construction inspection, quality control, and acceptance. …..not practical for network condition survey.

Profilograph Pavement Evaluation

Measurement Techniques

Categories of Equipments for roughness survey data collection • Response Type Road Roughness Meter (RTRRM) ….. RTRRM systems are adequate for routine monitoring of a pavement network and providing an overall picture of the condition of the network ….. RTRRMs measure the vertical movements of the rear axle of an automobile or the axle of a trailer relative to the vehicle frame.

Surface Distress “Any indication of poor or unfavorable pavement performance or signs of impending failure; any unsatisfactory performance of a pavement short of failure" (Highway Research Board, 1970). 

Distress modes   

Fracture (cracking or spalling) Distortion (rutting, corrugation & shoving) Disintegration (striping, raveling or spalling)

Skid Resistance “Skid resistance is the force developed when a tire that is prevented from rotating, slides along the pavement surface (Highway Research Board, 1972).” 

Important Pavement Evaluation Parameter owing to;  



Inadequate skid resistance leads to higher accidents Obligation of agencies to provide user with reasonably safe roadway Skid resistance measurements can be used to evaluate various type of material and construction particles

Pavement Evaluation

20

Skid Resistance Measurement 

Quantified by; 

Friction Factor or Skid Number

Friction factor (like a coefficient of friction): f = F/L Skid number: SN = 100(f) where:

F = L

Pavement Evaluation

frictional resistance to motion in plane of interface = load perpendicular to interface

Skid Resistance Measurement

Typical Skid Number

22

Measurement Techniques 

Common Methods The locked wheel tester ….this method uses a locked wheel skidding along the tested surface to measure friction resistance.  

Lock Wheeled Skid Tester Pavement Evaluation

23

Measurement Techniques  The

spin up tester

…. same basic setup as a locked wheel tester but operates in an opposite manner  Surface

texture measurement

…. seeks to measure a pavement's macro texture then correlate it with skid resistance as measured by some other, more traditional method

Pavement Surface Deflection “pavement deflection is a function of traffic (type and volume), pavement structural section, temperature affecting the pavement structure and moisture affecting the pavement structure.”

Pavement Evaluation

25

Pavement Deflection Measurement 

…measured as a pavement surface's vertical

deflected distance as a result of an applied (either static or dynamic) load.  …advanced measurement devices record this vertical deflection in multiple locations  Measurement Techniques

Static deflections (static load)  Steady state deflections (oscillating load)  Impact load deflections (impulse load) 

Pavement Evaluation

26

Measurement Techniques 

Static Deflection Equipment  Benkelman Beam …operates on lever arm principle  …measurement is made by placing the tip of the beam between the dual tires and measuring the pavement surface rebound as the truck is moved away 

Measurement Techniques 

Steady State Deflection Equipment 

DynaFlect & Road Rater  …consists of a dynamic force generator (that produces the oscillating load),  a motion measuring instrument (to measure the oscillating load),  a calibration unit and several deflection measuring Dynaflect devices (transducers, accelerometers, seismometers, etc.). 

Pavement Condition Rating Systems 



Based on measurements of roughness, surface distress, skid resistance and deflection, pavements can be assigned a score that evaluates it and thus reflects their overall condition. This score, sometimes called a pavement condition rating, quantifies a pavement's overall performance and can be used to help manage pavement networks.

Pavement Condition Rating Systems 

pavement condition scores can be used to;    

Trigger treatment Determine the extent and cost of repair. Determine a network condition index. Allow equal comparison of different pavements
