Pavement Inspection
Deterioration of a moderately used asphalt road was measured in terms of length or area of damaged pavement, and categorized by the type of deterioration, to aid in rating the pavement condition. Using a hand-held odometer over a sectioned area of the road, the percent area of damage was calculated. Based on ASTM and PennDOT standards and visual guides, the road was numerically rated as “poor.”
