Abstract
Airports strive to prevent safety issues, such as foreign object debris (FOD), by pavement management using the pavement condition index (PCI). The index is used in decision-making processes for overall pavement maintenance and repair, such as the prevention of additional damage due to cracks and the like. However, considering the current situation in Korea where mostly mid-sized and large commercial airports exist, problems regarding direct applications of the existing PCI deduct value have been consistently pointed out. In addition, as the relationship between the PCI and whether maintenance and repair are required is unrealistic, there have been difficulties in communication between maintenance and repair staff and decision makers. Therefore, to resolve these problems, this study first analyzed the calculation procedure of the existing PCI and then redefined the main distress type of Korean airport pavements. In addition, a deduct value curve (DVC) in terms of the severity level for six main distress factors of asphalt pavements and eight main distress factors of concrete pavements and a corrected deduct value curve (CDVC) for multiple distresses in terms of the pavement form were developed using panel rating, which is an engineering approach, by forming an airport pavement expert panel. Finally, a Korea airport pavement condition index (KPCI) was proposed using the curves, and the field application results were compared against the existing PCI to examine the adequacy of the KPCI. As a result, the developed criteria showed an overall trend lower than existing PCI. Moreover, it was verified that this trend increases with worsening pavement condition. It appears that a more discriminating evaluation may be possible when determining pavement conditions by PCI results of the developed criteria.
