Maximum allowable number and deduct ion

x 100% =

=0.189

Higher deduct value HDV = 82

m = 1 + 9/98 (100 HDV)
= 1 + 9/98 (100 82)
= 2.68
Deduct value in descending order = 82, 68, 18, 0
Number of deduct value = 4
Since the maximum allowable number of deducts is 2.01, therefore only the first 2 and
rd
0.68 of the 3 deduct value are selected. ie 82, 68, 18 and (18x 0.68) = 12.24

Maximum corrected deduct value, CDV

Number of deduct values greater than 2, q = 3
Total deduct value = 82 + 68 + 12.24
=168.24
From figure B-45, CDV = 98
The smallest individual deduct value was reduced to 2 (q now is 2) and CDV was determined.

The calculation was repeated until q = 1

Determine the Pavement Condit ion Index

PCI = 100 - CDVmax
= 100 98
=2
Based on the rating for PCI value of 2, this section pavement is in failed condition.
11H- high-severity patching and utility cut patching
2M-medium-severity bleeding
4H- high-severity bumps and sags
7H high-severity edge
