UFC 3-260-16 O&M Manual: Standard Practice for Airfield Pavement Condition Surveys

This Unified Facilities Criteria (UFC) provides the procedure for performing a pavement condition survey at all airfields with present or potential DOD missions. This UFC is intended for use by all personnel responsible for such surveys. The objectives of a pavement condition survey are to determine the present condition of the pavement in terms of apparent structural integrity and operational surface condition, to provide a common index for comparing the condition and performance of pavements at all air stations along with a rational basis for justification of pavement repair projects, and to provide feedback on pavement performance for validating and improving current pavement design, evaluation, and maintenance procedures.
