The Correlation between Drainage Condition and Pavement Performance

Abstract

One of the things that cause rapid destruction the pavement that is due to lack of maintenance of the road drainage system. Road drainage system serves to dry the pavement or water flow in order as quickly as possible out of the road surface and then flowed through the channel next to the final disposal. Road deterioration will interfere with the comfort and safety of the vehicle and affects the performance and quality of the pavement structure. Pavement condition index (PCI) is one of the pavement performance assessment methods used to evaluate the condition of the pavement. This research is aimed to identify and analyze the shape of influence of drainage conditions to damage the road surface pavement structures PCI method with the territory of reviews Jakarta Province. The method used is a field research with primary data in the form of survey of road damage that will be evaluated by the method of PCI and carried out analysis of the effect of drainage analysis method experimental design factorial of the components of the condition of drainage channels, the existence of the water surface pavement, and the value of PCI as the value of damage pavement. Based on the research results obtained using Design of Experiments main factors that greatly influence the surface damage is a factor pavement drainage channel conditions and then factor the value of PCI and the last is a factor of the condition of the surface water. The entire region of reviews is dominated by the value of PCI "good" and the type of maintenance that dominates is "routine maintenance".
