Abstract:
The Strategic Highway Research Program Project H-101 has coordinated construction of preventive maintenance treatments to determine their effectiveness. Some of the factors that affect the life of preventive maintenance treatments are the quality of the materials used, the environmental conditions during which the treatments are placed, the type of equipment used, and the quality of the treatment application. Quantifying these factors has been difficult. This report describes an approach which has the potential of quantifying this set of diverse factors into a single rating, in the possibility that this can be related to the performance of the treatments.
