Development of Panel Rating Protocol and Condition Evaluation Model for Pervious Concrete Pavement
Publication: Journal of Transportation Engineering
Volume 138, Issue 3
Abstract
Pervious concrete pavement (PCP) has the potential to provide significant technical, economical, and environmental benefits. To better understand the beneficial impacts of PCP, its performance must be comprehensively evaluated and quantified. To evaluate the PCP performance, its pavement condition should be assessed. The primary aim of this research is to evaluate the PCP condition through incorporation of an adequate panel rating method. Two panel rating methods are evaluated for this purpose: visual digital inspection and in situ inspection. Field investigations are also conducted to record the surface distresses by describing their severity and density using the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario protocol. Finally, a model is developed and validated which relates mean panel rating (i.e., surface distress rating) to a pavement distress. It is concluded that the only significant variable (i.e., distress) in this model is raveling.
