1. Protecting Your Pavement Investment Jeff Stokes

2. 4 R’s for Paving Success 1 Risk Management Identifying and minimizing your risk factors 2 Right Repair Knowing the best practices in pavement maintenance 3 Right Delivery Method Selecting the right type of procurement method 4 Right Relationship Achieving value through consistency and trust

3. Risk Prevention Reducing risk requires knowing: Pavement performance characteristics Predictions based on pavement type and use Proper evaluation techniques Consistent assessment and rating methods Pavement management systems Systematic approach to pavement maintenance

4. Flexible Pavements Structure Asphalt Concrete Surface Aggregate Base Aggregate Subbase Native Subgrade Asphalt Concrete Surface Native Subgrade Rigid Pavements Typical Pavement Structural Components

5. Portland Cement Concrete Cement Treated Base Native Subgrade Full Depth Concrete Structure Typical Pavement Structural Components

6. Design Criteria should include: Material Type –Soil Strength –Base/Granular –Asphaltic Mix Reliability Factor –Cars –Trucks –Frequency –Special Use Pavement Performance Climate Considerations Water in all forms Drainage Options Get it off, keep it off, move it downhill Serviceability Desired Impassable condition to perfect condition

7. Knowing when to take action. “Paser” or other rating system are used to: –Evaluate Pavement Surfaces –Predict future deterioration and feasible options –Perform cost justification for needed projects (immediate and future) –Select appropriate treatments for each section of pavement Pavement Evaluation

8. Rating System of PASER 1 to 10 Scale Measures failed surface to excellent surface System has distinct visible distress signs, with recommended surface treatments. –Example: Rating of 8 is very good. Few cracks. Routine crack sealing needed. Seal coat is a good preventative measure. –Example: Rating of 2 is very poor. Surface has potholes and is distorted. Requires significant reconstruction with base repair.

9. Four Major Categories of Asphalt Surface Distress: 1 Surface Defects Raveling, flushing, polishing 2 Surface Deformation Rutting, rippling and shoving, settling, frost heave 3 Cracking Reflective, transverse, longitudinal, block, and alligator cracks 4 Potholes or Deterioration Phaser Rating Criteria

10. Surface Rating Visible DistressGeneral Condition / Treatment 10 Excellent None New construction 9 Excellent None Recent overlay, like new No longitudinal cracks except reflection of paving joints. Occasional transverse cracks, widely spaced (40" or greater). All cracks sealed or tight (open 1/4" or less). 8 Very Good Recent sealcoat or new road mix. Little or no maintenance required. Very slight or no raveling, surface shows some traffic wear. Longitudinal cracks (open 1/4") due to reflection or paving joints. Transverse cracks (open 1/4") spaced 10 feet or more apart, little or slight crack raveling. No patching or very few patches in excellent condition. 7 Good First signs of aging. Maintain with routine crack filling. 6 Good PASER RATING SYSTEM University of Wisconsin-Madison, Transportation Information Center© Show signs of aging, sound structural condition. Could extend life with sealcoat. Slight raveling (loss of fines) and traffic wear. Longitudinal cracks (open 1/2") due to reflection and paving joints. Transverse cracking (open 1/2") some spaced less than 10 feet. First sign of block cracking. Slight to moderate flushing or polishing. Occasional patching in good condition.

11. University of Wisconsin-Madison, Transportation Information Center© Surface RatingVisible DistressGeneral Condition / Treatment Moderate to severe raveling (loss of fine and coarse aggregate). Longitudinal and transverse cracks (open 1/2”) show first signs of slight raveling and secondary cracks. First signs of longitudinal cracks near pavement edge. Block cracking up to 50% of surface. Extensive to severe flushing or polishing. Some patching or edge wedging in good condition. 5 Fair Surface aging, sound structural condition. Needs sealcoat or nonstructural overlay 4 Fair Severe surface raveling. Multiple longitudinal and transverse cracking with slight raveling. Longitudinal cracking in wheel path. Block cracking (over 50% of surface). Patching in fair condition. Slight rutting or distortions (1/2" deep or less). Closely spaced longitudinal and transverse cracks often showing raveling and crack erosion. Severe block cracking. Some alligator cracking (less than 25% of surface). Patches in fair to poor condition. Moderate rutting or distortion (1" or 2" deep). Occasional potholes. 3 Poor 2 Very Poor Alligator cracking (over 25% of surface). Severe distortions (over 2” deep). Extensive patching in poor condition. Potholes. 1 FailedSevere distress with extensive loss of surface integrityFailed. Needs total reconstruction. PASER RATING SYSTEM Significant aging and first signs of need for strengthening. Would benefit from recycling or overlay. Needs patching and major overlay or complete recycling. Severe deterioration. Needs reconstruction with extensive base repair.
