Condition Rating of the Road Pavement and Selection of Repair Methods
Abstract
Condition rating of the road pavement is essential for making effective decisions about the type of maintenance or rehabilitation that will be carried out on a pavement section. Reliable quantitative assessment of the volume of necessary repairs will ensure the performance characteristics and durability throughout the entire service life at minimal cost. This article presents detailed results from Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) studies. In addition, an analysis of these results and recommendations for strengthening the road pavement for the Sh-176 „Sighnaghi-Saint Nino Monastery” road to develop rehabilitation and maintenance scenarios. FWD results combined with road pavement layer thickness and traffic load information to determine residual service life and necessary treatment type. Thus, using the nonlinear theory of layered half-space elasticity, pavement structure analyzed in the same way as other civil engineering structures.
