PURPOSE AND SCOPE.

This UFC contains information on materials, equipment, and procedures for repairing and maintaining hot mix asphalt (HMA) and portland cement concrete (PCC) pavements. Typical maintenance and repair (M&R) methods, and problems that might be encountered in using these methods, are discussed. Guidance is provided for using each of these M&R methods. Additional information can be found in the references listed in Appendix A.

This UFC is intended for use as a field UFC for airfield and roadway pavement repair for all U.S. Navy, Army, and Air Force pavements. The described techniques are applicable for airfields, roads, parking lots, and other pavement uses. Probable causes of pavement problems are discussed and suggested M&R measures described in order to correct pavement surface problems at the source.

Not covered in this UFC are maintenance and repairs of surface water drainage systems, pavement markings, ground lighting, and unpaved margins.
