Abstract

Pavement distress is a common problem for an opening road network and this distress is caused due to overloading of vehicles, poor maintenance, rapid traffic growth and improper design and implementation. This research study focused in Adama to Awash-Arba road section. The main objective of this research work was to evaluate the pavement distress using pavement condition index for the road section from Adama to Awash Arba. The result of the research show that the PCI value range from 8 to 97.1 and this shows that all section of the road have all types of pavement condition rating (Good, Satisfactory, Fair, Very Poor, Poor, Serious and Failed) in which 12.12% good, 9.09% satisfactory, 18.18% fair, 21.21% poor, 18.18% very poor, 18.18% serious and 3.03% was failed. Based on the pavement condition rating, seven soil samples was collected for the failed and serious road section using manual hand auger. Samples were air-dried before taken to laboratory test determination of subgrade soil. According to the pavement condition survey the road section from Adama to Awash Arba required maintenance and based on this, possible maintenance option had been recommended for pavement distress with respect to level of severity on the pavement condition of the study area in order to sustain the design life of the Pavement.
