This manual is designed to provide airfield pavement inspectors with a comprehensive reference for pavement distress identification. The information is to be used in conjunction with procedures presented in Volume I of this report to determine pavement condition and maintenance and repair requirements. The types of airfield pavement distress are listed alphabetically under the major categories of asphalt- or tar-surfaced pavements and jointed concrete pavements. Names, descriptions, severity levels, photographs, and measurement or count criteria are presented for each distress type. (Author).
This airfield pavement distress repair manual has been updated with the latest information from the FAA. Additional distress pictures were added for clarity and easy recognition for maintenance repair performers while on the field.
Accurate, consistent, and repeatable distress evaluation surveys can be performed by using the Distress Identification Manual for the Long-Term Pavement Performance Program. Color photographs and drawings illustrate the distresses found in three basic pavement types; asphalt concrete-surfaced; jointed (plain and reinforced) portland cement concrete; and continuously reinforced concrete. Drawings of the distress types provide a reference to assess their severity. Methods for measuring the size of distresses and for assigning severity levels are given. The manual also describes how to conduct the distress survey, from obtaining traffic control to measuring the cracks in the pavement. Sample forms for recording and reporting the data are included. The manual also tells how to calibrate and operate fault measurement devices.
