MAINTENANCE
AND
REHABILITATION
OF
PAVEMENTS
 Preventive Maintenance
 Corrective Maintenance
 Pavement Preservation
 Pavement Rehabilitation
Some Common Terms
Preventive Maintenance
The planned strategy of cost effective treatments
to an existing roadway system and its
appurtenances that preserves the system,
retards future deterioration, and maintains or
improves the functional condition of the system
(without increasing structural capacity).
- AASHTO’s Standing Committee on Highways
 Planned
 Performed on good
pavements
 Contributes to long-
term performance
 Examples: Fog Seal,
Chip Seal, Thin HMA
Overlay
Corrective Maintenance
 Reactive
 Performed on failing
pavements
 Does not contribute to
long-term performance
 Examples: Patching,
Pothole Repair
Pavement Preservation
The sum of all activities undertaken to provide
and maintain serviceable roadways; this
includes corrective maintenance and preventive
maintenance, as well as minor rehabilitation
projects

Pavement Rehabilitation
Work undertaken to extend the service life of an
existing pavement. This includes the
restoration, placing an overlay, and/or other
work required to return an existing roadway to
a condition of structural and functional
adequacy.

Pavement Condition
 Pavement Condition can be rated using any
number rating systems, including:
 Pavement Condition Index (PCI)
 PCI = 100 is New/Excellent and PCI = 0 is Failed
 Present Serviceablity Index (PSI)
 PSI = 5 is New and PSI = 0 is Failed
 Used in the AASHTO Design Methodology
 International Roughness Index (IRI)
 Rating is Inches/Mile and is automatically recorded

Philosophy of Pavement
Preservation
Improved Pavement Condition
 Preventive maintenance helps to preserve a
pavement and extend its performance
 Overall condition of network improves
 Fair, Poor, and Failed Pavements are
reconstructed and returned to a high pavement
condition
 Excellent and Good Pavements are kept in high
condition
Cost Savings
 Most persuasive argument for
shifting to preventive maintenance
strategies
 Forms of cost savings
 Less expensive treatments
 Longer pavement life
 Reduction of user delay costs
 Preventive maintenance:
(minimum)
 Rehabilitation:
(intermediate)
 Reconstruction:
(maximum)
Cost Comparison of
Options
Anticipated benefits
Higher customer satisfaction
Improved strategies and techniques
Improved pavement condition
Cost savings
Increased safety
Stability
What is Pavement Management ?
 Systematic method for routinely collecting,
storing, and retrieving decision-making data
needed to make maximum use of limited
amount
 It also creates a set of steps or computer
routines for quickly accessing the data to
arrive at educated decisions.
Distress
Identification
What pavement characteristics
indicate pavement condition?
 Visible performance indicators
 Functional indicators
 Structural indicators
 Non-Visible defects
 Environmental effects on materials
 Load-related damage
What techniques are used to assess
pavement condition?
 Visual distress surveys
 Roughness surveys
 Friction surveys
 Drainage evaluation
 Shoulder surveys
 Deflection testing
Data Collection
Platforms
Video – distress, roughness
Laser - distress, roughness
Friction
 Sample and test (destructive)
 essential to evaluate causes of
distress
 Test in-place (non-destructive)
 Important to delineate uniform
sections
Subgrade Support
 From soils sampling/lab
testing
 In-situ - DCP, Field CBR
 From deflection testing
Material Properties
 Bound layers
 Thickness
 Strength
 Durability - reactive aggregate,
stripping
 Granular base
 Gradation
 Quality
 Subgrade
 Index properties
 Resilient modulus

GPR
Non-Destructive Testing
Why Non-Destructive
Pavement Testing?
 Measure structural condition in place
 High production rate:
more information = better decisions
 Identify rehabilitation needs
 Knowledge-based selection of actions
Successful GPR Applications for Pavements
 Thickness of Pavement Layers
 Pavement Rehabilitation studies (identifying
changes in structure)
 Defects in Base (Wet areas)
 Defects in Hot Mix layers (stripping, trapped
moisture)
 Identifying areas of segregation and poor joint
density
 Deterioration in asphalt covered bridge decks
 Base wash-outs (<3 ft down)
 Limited success on concrete pavements

condition

required on only a small
area of the total
pavement
 Pavements are not
candidates for
preservation:
 Pavements in poor
condition
 Substantial repairs
required

Alternatives
When to Rehabilitate?
 Rough road,
 Excessive pavement distress,
 Loss of skid resistance,
 Excessive maintenance needs,
 Inadequate structure for planned
use.
Rehabilitation Alternatives
 Thick overlay with paving fabric,
 Thin overlay,
 Cold in place recycle (CIR),
 Full depth reclamation.
Paving Fabrics
Paving Fabric Basics
 Keeps water out of the base and
subgrade
 Provides support to retard reflection of
existing cracks and distresses
 Controls evaporation over the long-
term, keeping uniform moisture content
in the subgrade.
How does it work?
AC Overlay
Existing AC
Pavement
Base or
Subgrade
Fabric
Selection Considerations
 Can provide strength up to
equivalent of 1.0 inch of AC (if
pavement is stable and fabric is
properly installed)
 Cost of fabric (based on DOT
studies) is about the same as 0.5
inches of AC
Application Considerations
 Not suitable for severely
distressed pavements.
 Generally not suitable
where there is inadequate
base/subgrade support.
 Do not use where free
water problems exist.
Construction Considerations
 Minimum overlay
thickness when using
a fabric is 1.5 inches.
 Major contributor to
failure is lack of tack
and/or uniformity of
tack coat application.
 Read manufacturer’s
literature for detailed
instructions.

Need of Evaluation
 Pavement deteriorate functionally and
structurally with time due to traffic
loading and the different climatic
condition.
 It is necessary to evaluate the
condition of existing pavement in
terms of functionally and structurally.
OVERLAY
 Pavement that do not have adequate structural
strength to carry out the projected future traffic will
have to be reinforced by providing additional
