Pavement condition assessment using SDI and PCI method on Geumpang road – West Aceh boundary

Abstract

Construction failure can occur in every project activity. This has been included in Law No.19 of 1990 concerning construction services which require that building failures be included in the contract in order to maintain the principle of justice. The factors causing this construction failure basically can occur due to various reasons depending on the aspects seen. It is necessary to pay attention to this so that there is no deterioration in road quality due to damage to the road surface so that it can affect safety, comfort, and smoothness of traffic. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pavement functionally and compare the value of pavement damage conditions based on two methods, namely the Surface Distress Index (SDI) and Pavement Condition Index (PCI) methods which are used as the basis for determining the type of road maintenance. This research took place on the road Geumpang Road - West Aceh boundary. The results of the calculation obtained the type and level of damage to the road surface on the Guempang road - the boundary of West Aceh which became the object of research, there were several types of damage such as holes, 8.70%, cracks 4.10%, subsidence 3.16%, patches 0.83%, edge damage 3.33%, and 0.51% peeling off. Overall, the average IRI value obtained from the PUPR Office in 2019 is 3.45% in very good conditions, for the average SDI value is 15.02% in good conditions, while the average PCI value is 79,63% were in very good condition. The type of maintenance on the Geumpang Road - West Aceh boundary, Pidie Districts as a whole based on the Surface Distress Index (SDI) method and the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) method is routine maintenance. The main factors causing road damage are standing water, running water, and landslides.
