4.2.2 Calculate Pavement Condition Index
1) Inspect the sample units : determine distress type and severity levels and
measure density
2) Determine deduct value

5) Compute pavement condition index for each sample unit inspected

3. Edges cracking
Edges cracks are cresent-shaped of fairly continuous cracks, parallel to, and usually within
300mm – 600mm of the pavement edge. It usually occurs when shoulders do not exist. It
also posibble occurs when the drainage is not in good condition and inadequate pavement
width which forces traffic too close to pavement edges. Measure in length (m)

5. Polished aggregate
This distress is caused by repeated traffic application when the aggregate in the surface
become smooth, adhesion with vertical tires is considerable reduce. Polish aggregate is
measure m2 of surface area (length x width).
9. Joint problem
Poor construction, inadequate compaction or poor startup procedures. Typically, poor
transverse joints result in a slight bump, which can affect roughness. Poor longitudinal
joints are generally lower in density, may fail prematurely from raveling or cracking, and
may allow water infiltration into the base and subgrade. It measure in length (m)
