Abstract

 

 

In this research, road pavement condition was investigated for Aborshada

road in Gharian region to determine the optimal maintenance works.

Previously, Simple engineering judgment was the only procedure followed

by Gharian Municipality engineers for pavement evaluation and maintenance

prioritization. Aborshada road pavement surface condition was investigated

by using visual technique “ Pavement Condition Index (PCI)”, to survey

the different distresses classified according to the PCI standards (ASTM

standard in 2007 (D6433-07)). and to know the most commune distresses in

the Aborshada road in order to provide assistance for decision maker in the

pavement evaluation and optimum selection of repair method.

In this study, pavement condition evaluation techniques, scenario

maintenance decision, and detail sheets for some distresses types in the

Aborshada road were presented. Counting on the pavement condition

evaluation, the decision maker can find the effect of the maintenance works on

the existing pavement condition. Also, he can select the optimum alternative

suitable for his fund. This study reveals pavements actual performance

and suggests the required research to deal with the pavement maintenance

problem in Libya, especially in western region. The study showed that the

best maintenance alternative for Aborshada road was the case No. 4 (Potholes

, Long. & Trans. Cracking and Alligator Crack Maintenance). Also, it showed

that, the most common pavement distresses on the Aborshada road were

distresses No. 13, 10, 1, 3, 7, 6 according to ASTM – D6433-07 classification.
