CALCULATION

Maximum allowable number of deducts, m

Highest deduct value, HDV = 23
m = 1 + (9/98)(100-23)
=8
Deduct value in descending order : 23, 15, 9, 2
Number of deduct value = 4
The maximum allowable number of deduct is 8

Maximum corrected deduct value, CDV

Number of deduct values greater than 2, q = 9
Total deduct value = 23 + 15 + 9 + 2 = 49
Base on the graph, CDV = 0
No.

Determine the Pavement Condition Index

PCI = 100 CDVmax
= 100 33
= 67
Based on the rating for PCI value of 67, this section of pavement is in good condition.

Maximum allowable number of deducts, m

Highest deduct value, HDV = 62
m = 1 + (9/98)(100-62)
= 4.5
Deduct value in descending order : 62, 32, 30, 20, 16, 12, 6, 1
Number of deduct value = 8
Since the maximum allowable number of deducts is 4.5, therefore only the first 4 and 0.5 of
the 5th deduct value are selected, 62, 32, 30, 20, and 0.5 x 16 = 8.

Maximum corrected deduct value, CDV

Number of deduct values greater than 2, q = 6
Total deduct value = 62 + 32 + 30 + 20 + 8 = 152
From the graph, CDV = 75

Determine the Pavement Condition Index

PCI = 100 CDVmax
= 100 79
= 21
Based on the rating for PCI value of 21, this section of pavement is in very poor condition.

CONCLUSION
In conclusion, as we carry out investigations on the road that we have chosen for 2
km, we found a variety of road defects such as alligator cracking, bleeding, bumps and sags,
longitudinal and transverse cracking, rutting, weathering, and swell . After we identify the
damage, we compute the Pavement Condition Index (PCI). The pavement condition that we
got was very good, good and very poor. For the very good condition, the road just need to
preventive maintenance needed and meets current standards. For good condition, the rood
need to route and preventive maintenance needed, meets standards with minor defects and
acceptable physical condition. For very poor, the road need to reconstruction significant
renewal and upgrade needed asset barely serviceable. Last but not least, for this project we
can learn and understand the PCI concepts more easily.
