Chapter 3 Framework for Treatment Selection From… Maintenance Technical Advisory Guide (MTAG)
2
2 Introduction to Pavement Treatment Selection What is Treatment Selection ? Why use Treatment Selection?
3
3 What is Treatment Selection A guide to assist maintenance personnel in making better and more informed decisions in selecting and applying maintenance treatments
4
4 Why Use A Treatment Selection Process Covers all the major treatment types currently used by Caltrans for flexible pavements and allows for inclusion of future strategies Treatment Selection is a complex, yet important procedure to ensure a optimum pavement treatment
5
5 Factors Affecting Treatment Selection Pavement age, condition Traffic levels, expected future plans Available funding Agency policy
6
6 Treatment Selection based on Pavement Condition
7
7 Treatment Selection based on Minimum Cost, Optimum Timing
8
8 Issues Treatment Selection Addresses Will the treatment address the distresses present? (i.e., Will it work?) Can the required preparation for the treatment be carried out? Is the treatment cost effective? Will the treatment be performed before the situation being addressed changes?

12 General Strategy Selection Process Factors to consider Pavement performance curves Selection of appropriate treatments Timing of the treatment

13 Typical Caltrans Treatments Seals (Fog, Slurry, Chip) Crack Seal/Fill Micro-Surfacing Thin HMA Overlays Bonded Wearing Course Surface Recycling Crack & Joint Re-Seal Partial & Full Depth Repair Dowel Bar Retrofit Diamond Grinding & Grooving Under-Sealing ACPCC www.dot.ca.gov/hq/maint/MTA_guide.htm

14 Treatment Selection Based on Pavement Condition
15
15 Caltrans Approach to Selecting Maintenance Treatments Assess Existing Pavement Conditions Determine the Feasible Treatment Options Analyze and Compare the Feasible Options
16
16 Caltrans Approach to Selecting Maintenance Treatments Assess Existing Pavement Conditions Conduct visual site inspection and/or review project information Perform testing on the existing pavement, as conditions require Define the performance requirements for the treatment

23 Caltrans Approach to Selecting Maintenance Treatments Analyze and Compare the Feasible Options Several treatments may be feasible Cost and life of the treatments vary Effect of the treatment on the life extension of the existing pavement Other factors to consider: cost effectiveness, treatment timing, traffic level, and constructability

24 Estimated Life of Treatments Treatment Good Condition (PCI=80) Fair Condition (PCI=60) Poor Condition (PCI=40) Fog Seal3 - 51 - 31 - 2 Chip Seal7 - 103 - 51 - 3 Slurry Seal7 - 103 - 51 - 3 Micro- surfacing 8 - 125 - 72 - 4 Thin HMA10 - 125 - 72 - 4

28 Proposed LCCA Analysis LCCA Lives of Treatments Cost of Treatments User Costs Cost Effectiveness of Treatments Cost of Pavement Preservation vs. Rehabilitation Revised Strategy Selection Process
29
29 LCCA Elements for Pavements Type and life of maintenance and rehabilitation treatments Agency costs User costs (auto repairs, safety, delays) Salvage value Time value of money (present net value vs. annual cost)
30
30 Proposed Additions to the Strategy Selection Process Selected updates to the Matrix for Flexible Pavements (estimated treatment lives and costs) Effect of pavement condition, traffic and Climate on treatment lives
31
31 Discussion of Process Guidelines for Selection of Pavement Preservation Treatments Inclusion of LCCA and Strategies for Concrete Pavements Preservation Peer Reviewed (PPTG, FHWA, Caltrans PST)
32
32 Conclusions Caltrans developed the MTAG, a dynamic, flexible document that is updated as needed The strategy selection process is now a standard practice for use by maintenance personnel MTAG – www.dot.ca.gov/hq/maint/MTA_guide.htm
