In addition to traffic loading, flooding has a significant impact on pavement
deterioration. If not promptly addressed, flooding can accelerate pavement
deterioration, preventing the road from maintaining its intended level of service
throughout its design life. Therefore, flood management should not only focus on
evaluating pavement damage but should also include an appropriate maintenance
program to preserve pavement performance, optimize the remaining service life,
and minimize long term maintenance costs.
This study employed the Integrated Road Management System (IRMS) V.3 to
develop a road maintenance program based on the structural condition of the
pavement. Pavement deflection data and Remaining Service Life (RSL) were used
to determine maintenance recommendations using the Decision Tree specified in
Bina Marga Guideline No. 07/P/BM/2021. To improve the reliability of the analysis,
the RSL obtained from IRMS V.3 was compared with that calculated using the
AASHTO 1993 method. In addition, the drainage system performance of floodaffected
road sections was evaluated. The maintenance program was then
developed under two budget scenarios and two scenarios for the timing of floodcause
mitigation.
The results indicate that the flooding was not caused by inadequate drainage system
performance, as the existing drainage channels along the flood affected road
sections were capable of conveying the design flood discharge. The structural
evaluation showed that the Remaining Service Life (RSL) estimated using the IRMS
V.3 method was more optimistic than that obtained using the AASHTO 1993 method
due to differences in the calculation approach, including the use of temperature
uncorrected pavement deflection and the exclusion of the subgrade resilient
modulus (MR). The analysis of the flood affected road sections indicates that
flooding has the potential to accelerate pavement deterioration. However, it cannot
be identified as the dominant deterioration factor because accelerated
deterioration was also observed in road sections that were not affected by flooding.
Based on the maintenance program scenarios, implementing flood cause mitigation
in the first year was identified as the most recommended strategy, as it resulted in
better pavement performance, reflected by a lower International Roughness Index
(IRI), and lower total maintenance costs at the end of the analysis period
