An Evaluation of the Pavement Condition Index Prediction Model for Rigid Airfield Pavements

Abstract

The United States Army Corps of Engineers, Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (CERL) has been working for several years on the development of an airfield pavement maintenance management system. As an integral element to this system, Pavement Condition Index (PCI) prediction models have been formulated for rigid flexible pavements. The purpose of this thesis was to evaluate the PCI prediction model for rigid Air Force airfield pavements. The model was tested using a new data base, from which it was determined that the predicted PCI values correlated fairly closely with the actual measured PCI values. The model was determined to be a reasonable predictor of the condition of rigid airfield pavements.
