Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: Debate over the various treatments for extending the life of deteriorated flexible pavements has taken place for several decades. Yet, there is little consensus on the relative merits of each treatment. Thus, there has been an on-going need for objective performance information on the various available treatments. Recently, the Greenville County, South Carolina, Department of Public Works facilitated a comprehensive review of pavement performance under the county's pavement maintenance program. The review provided the potential to independently quantify the relative benefits of various maintenance techniques, including in-place cold mill recycling, full-depth patching, and paving fabric--all followed by an asphalt overlay--as well as the use of only an asphalt overlay. This paper presents the tabulation of data for the 1997-1998 maintenance year that included maintenance of 370 roads. The data includes the pavement condition at time of maintenance, the selected pavement maintenance technique and associated costs, and the recent condition of the maintained roads. Using all available information, an evaluation of the data was made to assess the post-maintenance pavement performance and the cost-effectiveness of the various treatments used.
