PMPP definition
Examples of PMPP in a sentence
However, PM/PP projects would very likely have a PCI >65, and in the majority of cases, the PCI would likely be greater than 75.
PM/PP activities typically do not satisfactorily address structural deficiencies; and are therefore unlikely to be cost-effective treatments for pavements exhibiting more than very minor structural deficiencies.
To achieve a cost-effective delay of reconstruction through use of PM/PP strategies, the sum of the present values of preventive maintenance activities must be substantially less than the present value of the rehabilitation that they are preventing / delaying.
A “good condition” pavement that is a viable PM/PP candidate can generally be defined as a pavement in which the dominant distress types present are expected pavement surface distress manifestations of age and environmental stress factors – typically temperature cracking and perhaps some surface wear, and spalling.
For this to occur, PM/PP strategies typically must occur while the pavement is in good to very good condition.
Viable PM/PP candidates in good to very good condition would have little, if any, structural distresses; hence, these pavements can be classified as structurally sound pavements.
