1.0 INTRODUCTION
The PCI provides a measure of the present condition of pavement based on the
distress observed on the surface of the pavement, which also indicates the structural
integrity and surface operational condition. However, the PCI cannot measure
structural capacity nor does it provide direct measurement skid resistance or
roughness. Continuous monitoring of the PCI is used to establish the rate of pavement
deterioration, which permits early identification of major rehabilitation needs.
Development of an effective pavement requires a broad understanding of the
maintenance and rehabilitation techniques.

We were given a task to choose any road on the UTHM main campus or Parit
Raja area. Then, we need to conduct a study in order to determine the extent of the
road damaged. So, our group has chosen road in Bestari Residential College UTHM
area as a study site
Bestari Residential College was chosen due to its bad road surface and often
gave discomfort to every road user. As we already learned in class, damage was
caused from the increasing in traffic and environmental effects. There were also
heavy vehicles such as lorries and buses used the road. Although the road has been
fixed, the problems keep repeating. Therefore, we will learn to identify the types of
road damages in site and calculate the cost to maintenance it besides finds a solution
to reduce the damage. Delay and postponed maintenance activities will result in
increased damage rates and larger overhaul costs.

5.0 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The pavement condition of the selected road has been determined using pavement
condition index (PCI) method. The data obtained to be use in this method have been collected
through measurement. The PCI is a numerical rating of the pavement condition that ranges
from 0 to 100, with 0 being the poor condition and 100 being the best condition. Based on the
data analysis for sample unit 1 (section 1), sample unit 2 (section 3), sample unit 3 (section
5), sample unit 4 (section 7), sample unit 5 (section 9) and sample unit 6 (section 11), the
calculated PCI values are 40,16,59,57, 20 and 77 respectively. By obtaining the PCI values
section, the pavement condition for each section can be determine. The highest PCI value
obtained was 77 in sample unit 6 (section 11). The pavement for this section is in satisfactory
condition which means it need preventive maintenance only. The lowest PCI value obtained
was 16 in sample unit 2 (section 3). The pavement for this section is in serious condition
which means it need major rehabilitation.
The average PCI value that have been calculated 40 which means the entire road is in
poor condition and the road need a major rehabilitation. The method that have been suggested
for rehabilitation work for this road is resurfacing.
The following is the estimated cost for the selected road rehabilitation:
1. Resurfacing (cleaning pavement, applying tack coat, lay and compact asphalt concrete
wearing coarse with thickness 50mm) = RM 56,070
2. Reconstruction road shoulder (supply and compact earth material and laterite) = RM
1080
3. Road marking (ditto intermittent centre line and lane marking of 100 mm wide) = RM
1080
Total estimated cost for rehabilitation for the selected road is RM 58,230. The details of
the amount and rate of each works can be found in bill of quantity table.

6.0 CONCLUSION
For a conclusion, there are many distress surveys that we obtain from the road we had
chosen, which is Kolej Kediaman Bistari. The distress that we see was edge cracking,
potholes, alligator cracking, shoulder drop off and many more. As we conclude for all the
reading for this road for all the sections, the average PCI value that have been calculated is 40
which means that the road condition is in a poor condition. So, this road needs road
rehabilitation which is surfacing.
Besides that, by doing the survey, we also know that if alligator cracking and rutting
occur in the same area, each is recorded separately at its respective severity level and also, if
bleeding is counted, polished aggregate is not counted in the same area. Moreover, spalling as
used herein is the further breaking of pavement or loss of materials around cracks or joints. If
a crack does not have the same severity level along its entire length, each portion of the crack
having a different severity level should be recorded separately. If, however, the different
levels of severity in a portion of a crack cannot be easily divided, that portion should be rated
at the highest severity level present.
During the field condition surveys and validation of the PCI, we learn that faulting is
counted only at joints. Faulting associated with cracks is not counted separately since it is
incorporated into the severity-level definitions of cracks. Crack definitions are also used in
defining corner breaks and divided slabs. Also, joint seal damage is not counted on a slab-by-
slab basis. Instead, a severity level is assigned based on the overall condition of the joint seal
in the area. Cracks that in reinforced concrete slabs that are less than 1/8 in. wide are counted
as shrinkage cracks. Shrinkage cracks should not be counted to determine if the slab is broken
into four or more pieces. Low-severity scaling, that is, crazing, should only be counted if
there is evidence that future scaling is likely to occur.
