The cost of pavement maintenance keeps escalating upward as refining crude oil technology increases, a shortage of raw materials rises, and mining permits are harder to obtain. As a result, both private and public property owners and homeowners' associations will be spending more on pavement maintenance than ever before. Thomas and Patrick McDonald rely on nearly sixty years of experience in pavement construction and maintenance as well as years of research as they share practical tools and tips that will help anyone manage a successful pavement maintenance project. Through the included charts that will help determine maintenance strategies, the McDonalds guide others on how to: - Identify and repair distresses in asphalt pavement - Develop the proper scope of work, specifications, bids, and contract documents - Estimate repair costs, manage the project, and monitor job site materials - Evaluate the return on investment for repairs Designed specifically to aid in any asphalt projects for commercial properties, shopping centers, industrial properties, apartment buildings, and homeowners' associations or master communities, the Guide to Pavement Maintenance provides step-by-step leadership for anyone ready to tackle a pavement maintenance project.

This research project focused on developing guidelines to aid less experienced maintenance personnel in selecting repair methods and materials for treating pavement distress. The first phase of this project is detailed in Research Report 0-4395-1 and included a literature review, visits to field sites, and laboratory testing with common materials used for maintenance base repairs. Based upon the findings from the work completed in Phase I, a field guidebook was drafted for use by maintenance personnel to aid in selecting a repair strategy based upon distress type, distress severity, and importance of the road. This report describes the remaining phase of the project. With TxDOT personnel, the research team visited several locations in need of maintenance treatments and documented what treatment would be recommended from the draft field guide. The research team also noted the treatment planned by the TxDOT maintenance supervisor. In this manner, the recommendations from the draft field guide were checked to ensure they were relatively consistent with the state of the practice within TxDOT. Based upon the findings and comments received, the research team made some minor changes and additions to the draft field guide to finalize the guide for publication and distribution. The final version of the guide is available as Product 0-4395-P2.

ISBN:

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.
