Summary of Practice3.1 The pavement is divided into branches

13、 that are thendivided into sections. Each section is divided into sample units.The type and severity of pavement distress is assessed byvisual inspection of the pavement sample units. The quantity ofdistress is measured as described in Appendix X1 and Appen-dix X2. The distress data is used to calcu

Significance and Use4.1 The PCI is a numerical indicator that rates the surfacecondition of the pavement. The PCI provides a measure of thepresent conditio

15、n of the pavement based on the distressobserved on the surface of the pavement, which also indicates1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee E17 on Vehicle -Pavement Systems and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee E17.42 onPavement Management and Data Needs.Current edition

It provides an objective andrational basis for determining maintenance and repair needsand priorities. Regular monitoring of the PCI is used toestablish the rate of

18、 pavement deterioration, which permitsearly identification of major rehabilitation needs. The PCI canalso provide feedback on pavement performance for validationor improvement of current pavement design and maintenanceprocedures.4.2 The PCI procedure for interlocking concrete pavementswas developed

19、by surveying many sample units. Additionalverification of the accuracy and repeatability of the PCIprocedure for interlocking concrete pavements remains to beperformed.5.

Paint marks along the edge and sketches with locationsconnected to physical pavement features are acceptable. It isnecessary to be able to accurately relocate the sample units toallow verification of curren

24、t distress data, to examine changesin condition with time of a particular sample unit, and to enablefuture inspections of the same sample unit if desired.7.5 Select the sample units to be inspected. The number ofsample units to be inspected may vary from the following: allof the sample units in the

25、section, a number of sample units thatprovides a 95 % confidence level, or a lesser number.7.5.1 All sample units in the section may be inspected todetermine the average PCI of the section. This is usuallyprecluded for routine management purposes by availablemanpower, funds, and time. Total sampling

26、, however, isdesirable for project analysis to help estimate maintenance andrepair quantities.7.5.2 The minimum number of sample units (n) that must besurveyed within a given section to obtain a statisticallyadequate estimate (95% confidence) of the PCI of the sectionis calculated using the followin

27、g formula and rounding n to thenext highest whole number (see Eq 1).FIG. 1 Pavement Condition Index (PCI), Rating Scale, and Sug-gested ColorsE2840 11 (2015)2FIG. 2 Blank Interlocking Concrete Pavement Condition Index SheetE2840 11 (2015)3n 5 Ns2/e2/4!N 2 1!1s2!

When performing the initialinspection the standard deviation is assumed to be 10 forinterlocking concrete pavements. This assumptionshould be checked as described b

29、elow after PCI valuesare determined. For subsequent inspections, the standarddeviation from the preceding inspection should be usedto determine n; and,N = total number of sample units in the section.7.5.2.1 If obtaining the 95% confidence level is critical, theadequacy of the number of sample units

30、surveyed must beconfirmed.The number of sample units was estimated based onan assumed standard deviation. Calculate the actual standarddeviation (s) as follows (see Eq 2):s 5S(i51nPCIi2 PCIs!2/n 2 1!D12(2)where:PCIi= PCI of surveyed sample units i,PCIs= PCI of section (mean PCI of surveyed sample un

If the revised number of sample unit

32、s to besurveyed is greater than the number of sample units alreadysurveyed, select and survey more random sample units. Thesesample units should be spaced evenly across the section.Repeat the process of checking the revised number of sampleunits and surveying more random sample units until the total

33、number of sample units surveyed equals or exceeds theminimum required sample units (n)inEq 1, using the actualtotal sample standard deviation.7.5.3 Once the number of sample units to be inspected hasbeen determined, compute the spacing interval of the unitsusing systematic random sampling. Samples a

34、re spaced equallythroughout the section with the first sample selected at random.The spacing interval (i) of the units to be sampled is calculatedby the following formula rounded to the next lowest wholenumber:I 5 N/n (3)where:N = total number of sample units in the section, andn = number of sample

35、units to be inspected.The first sample unit to be inspected is selected at randomfrom sample units 1 through I. The sample units within asection that are successive increments of the interval i after thefirst randomly selected unit also are inspected.7.6 A reduced sampling rate than the above mentio

36、ned 95%confidence level can be used based on the condition surveyobjective. The following table provides an example used bysome agencies for selecting the number of sample units to beinspected for other than project analysis:Given Survey1 to 5 sample units 1 sample unit6 to 10 sample units 2 sample

38、ocedure8.1 The definitions and guidelines for quantifying distressesfor PCI determination are given in Appendix X1. Using thistest method, inspectors should identify distress types accu-rately 95% of the time. Linear measurements should beconsidered accurate when they are within 10% if remeasured,an

39、d area measurements should be considered accurate whenthey are within 20% if remeasured. Distress severities that onedetermines based on ride quality are considered subjective.8.2 Individually inspect each sample unit chosen. Sketch thesample unit, including orientation. Record the branch andsection

40、 number and the number and type of the sample unit(random or additional). Record the sample unit size measuredwith the hand odometer. Conduct the distress inspection bywalking over the sample unit being surveyed, measuring thequantity of each severity level of every distress type present,and recordi

41、ng the data. Each distress must correspond in typeand severity to that described in Appendix X1. The method ofmeasurement is included with each distress description. Thisprocedure should be repeated for each sample unit to beinspected. An example of a blank Interlocking ConcretePavement Condition Su

42、rvey Data Sheet for Sample Unit isincluded in Fig. 1 and a completed data sheet is shown in Fig.2.9. Calculation of PCI9.1 Add up the total quantity of each distress type at eachseverity level, and record them in the “Total Severities”section. The units for the quantities may be either in square fee

43、t(square meters), linear feet (meters), or number of occurrences,depending on the distress type.9.2 Divide the total quantity of each distress type at eachseverity level by the total area of the sample unit and multiplyby 100 to obtain the percent density of each distress type andseverity.9.3 Determ

44、ine the deduct value (DV) for each distress typeand severity level combination from the distress deduct valuecurves in Appendix X3.9.4 Determine the maximum corrected deduct value (CDV).The following procedure must be used to determine themaximum CDV.9.4.1 If none or only one individual deduct value

45、 is greaterthan two, the total value is used in place of the maximum CDVin determining the PCI; otherwise, maximum CDV must bedetermined as follows.9.4.2 List the individual deduct values in descending order.Determine the allowable number of deducts, m, using thefollowing formula (see Eq 4):m 5 119/

46、98!100 2 HDV! #10 (4)where:m = allowable number of deducts including fractions(must be 10),HDV = highest individual deduct value.9.4.3 The number of individual deduct values is reduced tothe m largest deduct values, including the fractional part. If lessthan m deduct values are available, all of the

47、 deduct values areused.9.4.4 Determine maximum CDV iteratively.9.4.4.1 Determine total deduct value by summing individualdeduct values. The total deduct value is obtained by adding theindividual deduct values.9.4.4.2 Determine q as the number of deducts with a valuegreater than 2.0.9.4.4.3 Determine

48、 the CDV from total deduct value and qby looking up the appropriate correction curve (Appendix X3).9.4.4.4 Reduce the smallest individual deduct value greaterthan 2.0 to 2.0 and repeat until q = 1. The maximum CDV isthe largest of the CDVs.9.5 Calculate PCI by subtracting the maximum CDV from100: PC

49、I = 100 - max CDV.E2840 11 (2015)510. Determination of Section PCI10.1 If every sample unit is surveyed then the PCI of thesection is the average of the PCIs of the sample units. Ifadditional sample units are surveyed then a weighted averageis used as follows:PCIS5 N 2 A!PCIR!/N1APCIA!/N (5)where:PCIS= weighted PCI of the section,N = total number of sample units in the section,A = number of additional sample units,PCIR= mean PCI of randomly selected sample units, andPCIA= mean PCI of additional selected sample units.10.2 Determine the overall condition ratin
