Methods for Measuring and Assessing Irregularities of Stone Pavements—Part II

This two-part manuscript presents a comprehensive methodology for the irregularity assessment of urban stone pavements. The proper road surface using key performance indicators is necessary to plan appropriate maintenance strategies. However, there are no monitoring methods or evaluation criteria pavements whose surfaces more uneven than traditional ones due their structural characteristics. Therefore, it useful define assessing irregularities considering comfort experienced by users and classify conditions. second part geometric analyses 40 branch profiles describe pavement unevenness. In particular, four have been investigated: International Roughness Index (IRI) according ASTM E1926, profile classification ISO 8608, index (awz) 2631, straightedge analysis (SASP) proposed authors that able evaluate effect localized irregularities, taking into account different vehicles. conclusion, classes defined conditions can support manager decisions in order implement an effective management system.
