Volume I describes the development and verification of a pavement condition index (PCI) for rating jointed concrete (plain and reinforced) and asphalt surfaced roads, streets, parking lots, and hardstands subjected to pneumatic tired and tracked vehicular traffic. A similar method for air fields has been developed and officially adopted by the U.S. Air Force. The PCI, which measures pavement structural integrity and surface operational condition, is calculated based on measured pavement distress types, severities, and densities obtained during pavement inspection. Volume II describes types and severity levels, and the measurement criteria to use when collecting data for the PCI calculation. Field tests indicate that the PCI closely agrees with the collective judgment (mean rating) of experienced pavement engineers. The PCI was found to be much more consistent than ratings by individual engineers since it is based on measured distress data, and not on subjective judgment.

This manual categorizes distress manifestations and provides illustrations of each category to lend uniformity to reporting and interpretation. Descriptions of the density of occurrence and the severity of each type of distress manifestation are made to conform to standard words which precisely express the relative density or severity on a scale of 1-5. Probable causes of each distress manifestation are presented, together with comments on progressive deterioration or other behaviour which might affect remedial treatment. Possible remedial measures are included under each distress manifestation.

Pavement and Asset Management contains contributions from the World Conference on Pavement and Asset Management (WCPAM 2017, Baveno, Italy, 12-16 June 2017). For the first time, the European Pavement and Asset Management Conference (EPAM) and the International Conference on Managing Pavement Assets (ICMPA) were joining forces for a global event that aimed not only at academics and researchers, but also at practitioners, engineers and technicians dealing with everyday tasks and responsibilities related to transport infrastructures pavement and asset management. Pavement and Asset Management covers a wide range of topics, from emerging research to engineering practice, and is grouped under the following themes: - Data quality and monitoring - Economics, political and environmental management, strategies - Deterioration models - Key performance indicators - PMS-case studies - Design and materials - M&R treatments - LCA & LCCA - Risk and safety - Bridge and tunnel management - Smart infrastructure and IT Pavement and Asset Management will be valuable to academics and professionals interested and/or involved in issues related to transport infrastructures pavement and asset management.
