Abstract
A proactive approach to protecting or maximizing the investment of concrete pavements requires periodic assessment of the pavement condition to determine deficiencies and predict deterioration patterns. Pavement management strategies must be employed at an optimal time in order to attain the most cost effective maintenance and rehabilitation solutions for the structure. Determining the remaining pavement service life is critical for making better decisions about preservation treatments, rehabilitation, or reconstruction. This paper discusses three key approaches developed for determining concrete pavement remaining service life (RSL) and presents case studies demonstrating the use of each method. The three methods include an empirical based procedure, a new approach based on survival curves, and a comprehensive mechanistic based procedure using the new National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Project 1-37A analysis methodology.
