Abstract:

To investigate the cost-effectiveness of different maintenance treatments of highways in Jiangsu Province, the historical pavement maintenance records, traffic load information and pavement performance data in the pavement management system(PMS)are recorded and analyzed. Compared with the growth model, the linear model, the logarithm model and the exponential model, the cubic model has higher regression accuracy R² and it can capture the sigmoid shape of the deterioration curve. So it is selected to simulate the pavement rutting development. The benefit over cost ratio is calculated to quantify the treatment cost-effectiveness. The analysis results show that thin hot mix asphalt(HMA)overlays and micro surfacing are more cost-effective than the other two treatments on light and moderate traffic roads. Hot in-place recycling and thick HMA overlays have much longer service lives and greater cost-effectiveness under heavy or extra heavy traffic.
