Condition Index (PCI), a rating on a scale of 0 to 100 that is widely used by the U.S. Corps of Engineers, the Department of Defense, and various local agencies to quantify pavement conditions. For evaluation purposes, PCI distresses are categorized by pavement type (asphalt pavements and jointed concrete pavements) and rated by severity (low, medium, and high). PCI distresses are summarized in Table 8-2. Table 8-. Pavement distresses (after ).
