Pavement Distress Identification Instructor's Guide
The Distress Identification Manual for Long-Term pavement Performance Porject was developed to provide a consistent, uniform basis for collecting distress data for the LTPP program. Although developed as a tool for the LTPP program, the manual has broader applications. It provides a common language for describing cracks, potholes, rutting, spalling and other pavement distresses being monitored by the LTPP program. As a "distress dictionary", the manual will improve inter- agency and intra-agency communication and lead to more uniform evaluations of pavement performance by standarizing the terminology and definitions.
