MAINTENANCE STRATEGY SUGGESTION OF FLEXIBLE PAVEMENT USING PAVEMENT CONDITION INDEX

-Abstract
Pavements are major assets of highway infrastructure. Maintenance and rehabilitation of these pavements to
the desired level of serviceability is one of the challenging problems faced by pavement engineers and administration in
the highway sector. The evaluation of pavement performance using pavement condition indicators is a basic component
of any Pavement Management System. Various indicators like Surface Condition Index (PCI), Present Serviceability
Rating (PSR),Roughness Index (RI), etc. have been commonly used to assign a maintenance strategy for the existing
pavements. The present study is an effort in the similar direction, to develop a combined Pavement Condition Rating
Index (PCRI) for the selected roads to select maintenance strategy using PCRI.
