Perpetual Pavements – An Enduring Flexible Pavement
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 12
Abstract
Sustainability of road construction is one of the important factors disturbing the global environment, social development economy and in future. Several research projects are currently underway to study different construction methods, materials and designs that can improve the sustainability of roads. Although perpetual pavement is characterized by higher construction costs compared to conventional flexible pavement designs, they require less maintenance and less frequent rehabilitation over the 50 year lifecycle if designed and constructed properly. Pavement design can save on materials and energy used in maintenance over the pavement lifecycle and reduces the noise and emissions accompanied by maintenance activities. All these benefits lead to decrease in maintenance cost through the pavement lifetime and improve sustainability. Perpetual Pavements are a viable option for constructing structurally stable and long lasting roads with minimal maintenance and other overheads for Indian conditions
