Distress Manual for Condition Rating Survey


Book Description

"This manual assists the condition rating survey (CRS) rater in identifying pavement distresses with a rating section. The determination of the distress' frequency level is based on the rater's judgment. The amount of distress a pavement contains has a direct impact on the CRS value for that pavement ... The 1994 Condition Rating Survey was the first survey to collect distress date using the video inspection vehicles (VIV) and the image processing workstations (IPW). The pavements are videotaped by the VIVs and then viewed in the IPWs where the distresses are entered. A computer model then calculates the CRS value based the distressed and sensor data, such as rutting measurements."--Page i.










Gravel Roads


Book Description

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.
