Pavement Condition Index (PCI) Survey is developed by US Army Corps of Engineers to quantify the condition of pavement section so it will enable decision- makers to decide on the most suitable maintenance method for the pavement section. Through the fieldwork survey and then the deskwork, the PCI values, which is used to indicate the general condition of a pavement section are obtained. List FIVE (5) factors that influence the PCI values and elaborate briefly the relationship of each factor with the PCI values
DESIGN OF A RIGID PAVEMENT Give a summary of rigid pavement design procedure by AASHTO method (1993), and describe the variables used in the method. Explain the CBR test; how to conduct the test and its purposes. Where are the usages of test results in practical applications? Explain its advantages and disadvantages. Determine the thickness of a rigid pavement (thickness of concrete slab) by using the data provided below: DATA PROVIDED: Cumulative 18kips ESAL = 5.000.000 Overall standard deviation = 0.3 Reliability = 95% Design serviceability loose =1.7 Drainage coefficient = 1 Load transfer coefficient = 3.2 Mean concrete modulus of rupture = 650 psi Elastic modulus of the concrete to be used = 5.000.000psi Results of CBR test on subgrade material in the laboratory (Table 1): 10. Standard force-penetration data.
