520			_aABSTRACT The Pavement condition index “PCI” is considered a simple, cheap, and appropriate method to control and monitor surface road conditions. It’s identifying the rehabilitation and maintenance that will be required and ensuring the wisely spent budget during the maintenance process. PCI depends on the rating process based on surface distress observation for the roads. PCI rating is considered a tool used to assess maintenance and rehabilitation which will be needed for the road sections. Due to the huge number of vehicles in Qatar, fast response of roads R and M will be required to keep the users safe and also increase the pavement’s serviceability life to control the budgets of the road’s maintenance. Based on PCI the paper will study the condition of Umm Al-Jamajim street to evaluate the road's distress types and severity and necessary maintenance or rehabilitation procedure that will be required to keep the road safe and control the cost. A site visit to the location of the investigation has been done to realize the conditions of the road and to identify the traffic loads to choose the best time to proceed with the evaluation. Then the data has been collected which includes pictures and measurements to be used in the data analysis. The methodology of the case study has followed the technical manual of maintenance (AASHTO). Where the PCI method has been followed to evaluate the conditions of each section of the road. The rating procedures have been applied to understand the quality of the surface road, which will help to recognize if the street will have required maintenance. As per the technical manual recommendation, a correction plan has been prepared to repair road deterioration considering the economic and engineering impacts. The results of the research have found that the average PCI rating for the road is equal to 87.4, ranging between 85 to 100 which is rated as excellent condition. Also, several maintenance plans are mentioned to use as a method of repair for the deterioration of the road. Keywords: Distress, Evaluation, Maintenance, Pavement Condition Index, Rehabilitation, Roads.
