This Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP) report is a training supplement for material in "Pavement Maintenance Effectiveness" (SHRP-H-358) and "Development of a Procedure to Rate the Application of Pavement Maintenance Treatments" (SHRP-H-322). This report suggests some immediate improvements in current pavement maintenance techniques, such as chip seals, slurry seals, crack sealing in asphalt pavement; and undersealing, and joint and crack sealing in Portland Cement concrete pavements. Researchers request that highway maintenance departments continue to track and log pavement maintenance data.

The purpose of this manual is to provide clear and helpful information for maintaining gravel roads. Very little technical help is available to small agencies that are responsible for managing these roads. Gravel road maintenance has traditionally been "more of an art than a science" and very few formal standards exist. This manual contains guidelines to help answer the questions that arise concerning gravel road maintenance such as: What is enough surface crown? What is too much? What causes corrugation? The information is as nontechnical as possible without sacrificing clear guidelines and instructions on how to do the job right.

TRB's second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2) Report S2-R26-RR-1: Preservation Approaches for High-Traffic-Volume Roadways documents the state of the practice of preservation treatment on asphalt and concrete pavements on high- and low-volume roadways. The report also includes general guidelines on the application of preservation treatments on high-volume roadways. The same project that produced SHRP 2 Report S2-R26-RR-1 also produced SHRP 2 Report S2-R26-RR-2: Guidelines for the Preservation of High-Traffic-Volume Roadways, which explores the state of the practice for preservation treatments on high- and low-volume asphalt and concrete roadways. The report also includes suggested guidelines on the application of preservation treatments on high-volume roadways.
