Abstract
The evaluation of the present condition of the road pavements at Brgy 1, Brgy 2, Brgy 3, Brgy 4, Brgy5, Brgy 6, Brgy 7, and Brgy 8 of Poblacion, Tuburan, Cebu (10.72654,123.82536), Philippines is aimed to identify their defects and deficiency, and as well as the condition rating of the roads. The data observed will be the basis for the local and municipal officials concerned with assessing the roads and their maintenance and rehabilitation works. The Visual Road Condition (VRoCond) Survey is utilized to gather the data for the evaluation. As per Department Order No. 042 series of 2016, the different defects or deficiencies in a road pavement are being defined, including their codes, unit of measurement, and the process of computing the variables of this research. The Visual Condition Index is computed to determine if the road section is in GOOD, FAIR, POOR, or BAD condition. Results showed that none of the road pavements of the cluster barangays of Poblacion, Tuburan, and Cebu are in poor and bad condition. The majority of the road sections are in GOOD condition, and the rest are in FAIR condition. With the summarized results containing the evaluation of the pavements of the road sections of the barangays in Poblacion, Tuburan, and Cebu, the government will be able to have an outlook of the solutions to the deficiencies in their roads. Recommended Corrective Measures and Treatment are also being provided.
