ANALISIS TINGKAT KERUSAKAN JALAN DENGAN METODE PCI (PAVEMENT CONDITION INDEX)

Abstract

Damage to road infrastructure is one of the important problems in the land transportation system that can affect the safety, comfort, and efficiency of people's mobility. An accurate assessment of the level of road damage is necessary to determine the priorities of effective road maintenance and rehabilitation. This study aims to analyze the level of road damage using two evaluation methods, namely Pavement Condition Index (PCI) and Surface Distress Index (SDI). The PCI method is used to assess the condition of the road pavement based on the type and degree of visual damage to the road surface, while the SDI method is used as a simpler alternative but still describes the functional condition of the pavement. Data was collected through field surveys of several predetermined road segments, with direct observation of the types of damage such as cracks, potholes, deformations, and others. On the Arso 01 – Arso 12 road section, 5 types of damage were obtained such as crocodile skin cracks, holes, longitudinal/transverse cracks, Amblas, and side cracks. Based on the results of the research on road damage analysis using the PCI (Pavement Condition Index) method  , an average PCI value was obtained of 52.75 and was categorized in moderate (fair) condition  where the value of 52.75 was in the range of 40 – 54. Meanwhile, in the pavement research using the SDI (Surface Distress Index) value, the  average SDI value on the Arso 10 – Arso 14 Road section was 107.5 where the value of the road condition was in the range of 100 – 150 for lightly damaged conditions.
