2c. Determine the allowable number of deducts, m (Fig. 3-19), using the following
formulas:

m, = 1 +(9/95Xl 00-HDy) (for airfields and unsurfaced roads) (3-2)

m, =l+(9/98Xl00-HDy) (for surfaced roads) (3-3)

where:
m. = allowable number of deducts, including fractions, for sample unit /.
HDVi = highest individual deduct value for sample unit /.
For the example, in Figure 3-12:
m = l + (9/95Xl00-21.0) = 8.48
2d. The number of individual deduct values is reduced to m, including the frac-
tional part. If fewer than m deduct values are available, then all of the deduct
values are used. For the example in Figure 3-12, all the deducts are used since
they are less than m.

Step 3: Determine the maximum corrected deduct value (CDV). The maximum CDV is
determined iteratively as follows:
3a. Determine the number of deducts with a value > 5.0 for airfields and unsurfaced
roads, and > 2 for surfaced roads. For the example in Figure 3-12, q=A.
3b. Determine total deduct value by adding all individual deduct values. In the
current example, the total deduct value is 71.3.
3c. Determine the CDV from q and total deduct value by looking up the appropri-
ate correction curve. Figure 3-20 shows the correction curve for asphalt-
surfaced airfield pavements. Other correction curves are provided at the end
of the individual deduct curves in Appendices B through F.
3d. For airfields and unsurfaced roads, reduce to 5.0 the smallest individual deduct
value that is > 5.0. For surfaced roads, reduce to 2.0 the smallest individual
deduct value that is > 2.0. Repeat Steps 3a through 3c until q is equal to 1.
3e. The maximum CDV is the largest of the CDVs determined.
Step 4: Calculate PCI by subtracting the maximum CDV from 100.
Figure 3-21 summarizes the PCI calculation for the example of AC pavement data
shown in Figure 3-12. Ablank PCI calculation form is included in Appendix A.
