Book excerpt: Preventive maintenance has the potential to improve network condition by retarding future pavement deterioration. This report outlines guidelines for implementing a preventive maintenance policy for bituminous pavements. Preventive maintenance treatments currently being used in Virginia include chip seal, slurry seal, microsurfacing, and thin hot mix asphalt overlays. Historical pavement condition data were obtained from the Virginia Department of Transportations Pavement Management System for these treatments, and treatment performance models were developed. A district-level treatment selection tool was developed to facilitate the district-level decision-making process. A prioritized list of pavement sections was generated, maximizing the cost-effectiveness of the selected treatments subject to budgetary constraints set by the Central Office. As a pilot implementation, the treatment selection tool was then run for each pavement classification in each district. The results of this pilot suggest that this selection tool has the potential to be a practical decision support tool.

Book excerpt: This document is a technical summary of the Federal Highway Administration report, Impact of Design Features on Pavement Response and Performance in Rehabilitated Flexible and Rigid Pavements (FHWA-HRT-10-066). Rehabilitation and pavement preservation represent the majority of pavement construction activity in the United States. Preventive maintenance includes treatments that are applied to pavements primarily to delay development of and mitigate existing distresses. These treatments focus on improving pavement functional performance and prolonging pavement life, not on improving the structural capacity. Selecting the appropriate maintenance technique and treatment application timing form the basis of a preventive maintenance practice. In addition to a nontreated control section, the Specific Pavement Study (SPS)-3 experiment included the following four maintenance treatment alternatives: Thin hot mix asphalt overlay (typically 1 inch (25.4 mm) or less). Slurry seal. Crack seal. Chip seal. Additionally, each site was categorized according to the following five design factors: Moisture (wet or dry climate). Temperature (freeze or no-freeze zone). Subgrade type (fine grained or coarse grained). Traffic loading (low or high). Existing pavement condition (good, fair, or poor). This experimental design resulted in 48 different experimental combinations of factors. In total, 33 States and Canadian Provinces participated in the experiment, and 81 sites were constructed and monitored for the assessment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Typical maintenance activities by the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) for existing asphalt pavements involving a periodic placement of a 1.5-in to 2-in layer of asphalt concrete are becoming increasingly costly. When applied at the right time, pavement preservation treatments can restore a smooth, safe driving surface while saving money on future rehabilitation costs. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance of three preventive maintenance treatments applied to US 301 in Sussex County, Virginia, to extend pavement life. This report documents the installation of a cape seal application of FiberMat (i.e., FiberMat with microsurfacing on top) over an existing asphalt pavement. FiberMat is designed to act as a crack-resistant membrane and incorporates two applications of polymer-modified asphalt emulsion with a layer of fiberglass strands between them. The study also included a performance comparison with more conventional VDOT surface treatment options: regular cape seal (chip seal with microsurfacing), and microsurfacing without a chip seal. Three years after the treatment application, a visual survey complemented by automated distress data from VDOT’s Pavement Management System showed that the section with FiberMat and microsurfacing performed well with very little reflective cracking. The chip seal with microsurfacing (i.e., regular cape seal) also performed well, but reflective cracking was higher compared to the fiber-reinforced section. The control section (microsurfacing only) showed extensive cracking after 3 years. This study showed that pavement preservation activities such as the use of fiber-reinforced chip seal with microsurfacing and modified single seal with microsurfacing improved both the pavement condition and the surface characteristics in a very cost-effective manner. Based on this study, the unit cost of fiber-reinforced cape seal was 5 .95 dollars/yd2 and that of conventional cape seal was 3 .99 dollars/yd2. In comparison, the average cost of a 2-in mill and fill corrective maintenance treatment with a conventional asphalt plant mixture in VDOT’s Hampton Roads District was 1 0.35 dollars/yd2.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Highway agencies have constructed expansive networks of pavements that are vital to the economic prosperity and vitality of the nation. These networks are currently deteriorating at such a rate that most agencies cannot afford to reconstruct them in a timely manner. Consequently, many agencies have employed low-cost preventive maintenance (PM) techniques such as crack and surface treatments in an attempt to slow the deterioration rates of the pavements, thus extending the service life and delaying the time until reconstruction. This study sought to address whether or not recent advances in bituminous mixtures and binder selection through SuperPave necessitated a re-examination of current PM practices. In other words should SuperPave pavements be managed differently, compared to other mixture types in the network. The first project task sought to analyze the effectiveness of PM treatments by using historical pavement management data to develop pavement decay curves with time. The results of the analysis indicated a life extension; however due to data limitations, a life cycle cost analysis (LCCA) as well as a specific life extension value were not conclusively determined. The second project task assembled a pavement owner's manual to provide general guidance on applying PM treatments throughout a pavement's life. The recommendations of applying PM are based primarily on the pavement's age and general surface characteristics. The recommendations of task 2 are based upon experienced engineering judgment, empirical evidence and a literature review; consequently they must be tempered to the local conditions, environment and materials.

Book excerpt: The purpose of this manual is to provide clear and helpful information for maintaining gravel roads. Very little technical help is available to small agencies that are responsible for managing these roads. Gravel road maintenance has traditionally been "more of an art than a science" and very few formal standards exist. This manual contains guidelines to help answer the questions that arise concerning gravel road maintenance such as: What is enough surface crown? What is too much? What causes corrugation? The information is as nontechnical as possible without sacrificing clear guidelines and instructions on how to do the job right.

This book was released on 2014-09-25 with total page 517 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Climate change, energy production and consumption, and the need to improve the sustainability of all aspects of human activity are key inter-related issues for which solutions must be found and implemented quickly and efficiently. To be successfully implemented, solutions must recognize the rapidly changing socio-techno-political environment and multi-dimensional constraints presented by today’s interconnected world. As part of this global effort, considerations of climate change impacts, energy demands, and incorporation of sustainability concepts have increasing importance in the design, construction, and maintenance of highway and airport pavement systems. To prepare the human capacity to develop and implement these solutions, many educators, policy-makers and practitioners have stressed the paramount importance of formally incorporating sustainability concepts in the civil engineering curriculum to educate and train future civil engineers well-equipped to address our current and future sustainability challenges. This book will prove a valuable resource in the hands of researchers, educators and future engineering leaders, most of whom will be working in multidisciplinary environments to address a host of next-generation sustainable transportation infrastructure challenges. "This book proposes a broad detailed overview of the actual scientific knowledge about pavements linked to climate change, energy and sustainability at the international level in an original multidimensional/multi-effects way. By the end, the reader will be aware of the whole global issues to care about for various pavement technical features around the world, among which the implications of modelling including data collection, challenging resources saving and infrastructures services optimisation. This is a complete and varied work, rare in the domain." Dr. Agnes Jullien Research Director Director of Environmental, Development, Safety and Eco-Design Laboratory (EASE) Department of Development, Mobility and Environment Ifsttar Centre de Nantes Cedex- France “An excellent compilation of latest developments in the field of sustainable pavements. The chapter topics have been carefully chosen and are very well-organized with the intention of equipping the reader with the state-of-the-art knowledge on all aspects of pavement sustainability. Topics covered include pavement Life Cycle Analysis (LCA), pervious pavements, cool pavements, photocatalytic pavements, energy harvesting pavements, etc. which will all be of significant interest to students, researchers, and practitioners of pavement engineering. This book will no doubt serve as an excellent reference on the topic of sustainable pavements.” Dr. Wei-Hsing Huang Editor-in-Chief of International Journal of Pavement Research and Technology (IJPRT) and Professor of Civil Engineering National Central University Taiwan

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this handbook is to provide background information about the importance of pavement preservation and preventive maintenance, as well as present maintenance techniques for a variety of distresses and conditions. The major focus of this handbook is on preventive maintenance activities, which are performed while the roadway is still in good condition with only minimal distress, before the pavement falls into a condition where structural overlays, major milling or reclaiming, or replacement is necessary. The most common flexible pavement distresses are cracking, roughness, weathering, raveling, rutting and bleeding. If the distresses identified in a pavement are related to structural deficiencies, the pavement section is most likely not a candidate for preventive maintenance treatment, and should be scheduled for rehabilitation or reconstruction. Maintenance treatments covered in this handbook include: Crack repair w/sealing, including clean and seal, saw and seal, and rout and seal; crack filling, full depth crack repair, fog seal, seal coat, double chip seal, slurry seal, microsurfacing, thin hot mix overlays, and potholes and pavement patching. Tables are outlined giving the most common flexible pavement distresses, along with the best practices for rehabilitation for each. Also given are recommended applications for crack sealers and fillers, surface treatments, and pothole patching. Specifications, technical memoranda and special provisions are included for all treatment methods recommended in the handbook.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents the details of a study to evaluate effectiveness of Ohio Department of Transportation's prevailing crack sealing program. Evaluation was performed through field monitoring a large number of crack sealed and control sections. Field monitoring included collection of performance data for over five year period after crack sealing. The data collected was used to address the following specific issues: Do existing crack sealing practices within ODOT enhance pavement performance? What is the optimum timing of the treatment? Does crack sealing extend pavement life? Is crack sealing a cost effective treatment? The analysis revel that crack sealed pavements, in general, performed better than the control sections on a 5-year cycle. Regardless of pavement type, aggregate type used in the surface layer, and the prior pavement condition crack sealing always results in performance gain. Maximum performance gain can be achieved by treating pavements with Pavement Condition Rating ranging from 66 to 80. The performance prediction models indicate crack sealing treatment can extend the service life of pavements by up to 3.6 years. The cost analysis using a common metric such as the Net Present Value illustrates that crack sealing, as a maintenance strategy, is economically viable for pavements in the prior PCR range of 66-70. From a practical point of view, it is hereby recommended that ODOT develops a policy to allow crack sealing as a strategy for pavement preventive maintenance for all pavements in the prior PCR range of 66 to 80.
