5. Conclusions
- The higher the ASR grade and the further into the future the forecast year, the higher the number of target sections for remodeling. The more maintenance is delayed, the higher the maintenance cost.
- Although the ASR grade did not substantially affect △IRI, the effect of ASR is expected to increase with increase in the RMI forecast year N.
- Regarding the effect of ASR on RMI, the range of increase according to ASR grade was larger than the change in △IRI, and the impact of △IRI was greater than △SD.
- As traffic volume and pavement age increased, △IRI tended to increase, but this increase was concentrated within 15–20 years of pavement age. Therefore, in sections with high traffic volume and pavement age, preventive maintenance is a must even if the RMI is low.
- As pavement age increased, △SD tended to increase, but this increase was concentrated within 15–20 years of pavement age. That is, △SD changed little in sections with healthy pavement, but the concrete pavement underwent intensive damage after 15 years of age.
- The effect of ASR grade on RMI increased with increase in the forecast year. Therefore, preventive maintenance is a must for sections with a high ASR grade even when the RMI is low. In addition, when the RMI is high, timely resurfacing and O/L are essential as deterioration accelerates with delay in repair.
- Diamond grinding decreases the number of sections requiring resurfacing and O/L. Thus, to extend the life of the pavement, diamond grinding can be used as a preventive maintenance to achieve an IRI of 1.5 or lower.
- Smoothness repair is more advantageous than damage repair in terms of preventive maintenance. However, both SD damage repair and IRI smoothness repair can be implemented together to extend the service life of concrete pavements.
