PCI Exercise

The document provides a pavement condition survey and asks to determine the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) for the sample unit. The solution: 1) Determines the distress density and deduct value from the survey data. 2) Calculates the maximum corrected deduct value (CDV) using the deduct values and figures provided. 3) The maximum CDV is 65. Using this value, the PCI is calculated to be 35, indicating the pavement is in very poor condition.

Maximum allowable number of deducts, m

Highest deduct value, HDV = 50


m = 1 + (9/98)(100 HDV)
= 1 + (9/98)(100 50)
= 5.6
Deduct values in descending order: 50, 32, 13, 7, 6, 6, 2
Number of deduct values = 7
Since the maximum allowable number of deducts is 5.6, therefore only the first 5 and
0.6 of the 6th deduct value are selected, i.e. 50, 32, 13, 7, 6, and 0.6*6 = 3.6.
(3)

Maximum corrected deduct value, CDV

Number of deduct values greater than 2, q = 6


Total deduct value = 50 + 32 + 13 + 7 + 6 + 3.6 = 111.6
From Figure B-45, CDV = 58

Reduce the smallest individual deduct value to 2 (q is now 5) and determine the CDV.
Repeat until q reaches 1.
No.

Determine the Pavement Condition Index

PCI = 100 CDVmax


= 100 65
= 35
Based on the rating for PCI value of 35, this section of pavement is in very poor
condition.
