THE TYPE OF RIGID PAVEMENT CONDITION SURVEY CHOSEN WILL DEPEND ON THE TYPE AND EXTENT OF THE INFORMATION NEEDED BY THE SURVEY USER. INFORMATION OF THE PROPER TYPE MAY BE USEFUL IN PAVEMENT DESIGN, MAINTENANCE SCHEDULING, HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION, PREDICTION OF MAINTENANCE COSTS, AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF NEW METHODS AND MATERIALS FOR PAVEMENT CONSTRUCTION. SURVEY TYPES INCLUDE RECONNAISSANCE, RATING PANELS, STATISTICAL COUNTS OF THE NUMBER OF TIMES SOME PAVEMENT CHARACTERISTICS ARE OBSERVED, SEMI-DETAILED SURVEYS , DETAILED STRIP MAPS, PICTORIAL OR PHOTOGRAPHIC, USE OF SURFACE ROUGHNESS MEASURING DEVICES, AND DETAILED INVESTIGATIONS. MOST REASONABLY COMPLETE SURVEYS OF PORTLAND CEMENT CONCRETE PAVEMENTS WOULD INCLUDE SOME MEASURE OF SURFACE ROUGHNESS, SKID RESISTANCE, DURABILITY, ADEQUACY OF ANY SPECIAL DESIGN FEATURES AND AN INDICATION OF THE DESIGNS STRUCTURAL ADEQUACY UNDER CURRENT TRAFFIC CONDITIONS. GENERAL CONDITION SURVEYS MAY LOCATE CONDITIONS REQUIRING MORE DETAILED STUDY. THE CONDITION STUDY IS AN IMPORTANT TOOL FOR EVALUATING DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION TECHNIQUES AND MATERIALS.
