... 17 3.1 Relevant Issues in Pavement Preservation The guidelines for developing PRS for pavement preservation treatments will differ from those for rehabilitation and reconstruction of flexible and rigid pavements for the following reasons: 1. Preservation treatment performance is greatly influenced by the pre-existing pavement conditions with respect to both structural capacity and functional condition.
