ABSTRACT
The causes of road damage are overloaded vehicles, puddles of water on the road surface caused by a poor drainage system, and the implementation of construction work that is not in accordance with the plan. In addition, improper handling of maintenance, both in terms of handling priorities and financing, is also the cause of road damage. Temperature, air, water, and rain as well as the poor initial quality of road products also greatly affect the road life causing it to be shorter or not according to the design life. Sriwijaya road is an urban road located in the road network of the Jember city area. Based on the results of the preliminary survey, there are significant differences in road surface conditions on these roads. This study aims to identify the type of damage and analyses the level of damage to the road surface on Sriwijaya road using the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) method. Of the 20 segments that have been determined, the results of the study show that road damage occurs in segments 11-16 with moderate and bad levels of damage, and in segments 18 with serious damage levels. There are 7 types of road damage, including aggregate wear, crocodile cracking, block cracking, edge cracking, peeling, sinking, lumps, and sunken with high damage levels.
