Abstract


Evaluation of technical condition based on performance criteria during service life of a road becomes extremely necessary in terms of cost efficiency in maintenance strategies in the road administration. Using existing technical regulations by combined analysis of the technical condition evaluation in the sense that it is desired a parametric quantification of degradation occurring by traffic loads and variations in environmental conditions, practically define the actual performance level of the road at the time field investigation.
This paper aims to present an assessment scheme of intervention to measures performance criteria based maintenance, which, moreover, has been regulated in Romania too.
