Abstract:

An instrument for monitoring conditions indicating pavement deterioration that can be repaired with maintenance treatments has been designed and is being developed at the University of Texas at El Paso as part of a Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) project. The measurements made by the device are described. The focus of the SHRP research is to assist with identifying the need for and the effectiveness of maintenance activities, especially preventive maintenance. Considerable effort was directed at distinguishing preventive maintenance from rehabilitation. During this process, the types of damage that lead to the types of distress that are generally addressed with preventive maintenance were postulated. Furthermore, the mechanisms involved in developing different types of distress suitable for maintenance treatments were developed in a conceptual manner. To determine when these mechanisms should be measured, the precursors of the various distress types were hypothesized, and levels that should be considered significant were proposed.
