Road Defects and Highway Maintenance
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Mechanical and Civil Engineering (IOSR-JMCE) - Year 2018, Vol 15, Issue 2
Abstract
This paper summarizes the ongoing researches about the defects in Flexible and Rigid pavement and the maintenance in Flexible and Rigid pavements. In the past, lots of researchers have already studied the defects and problems of maintaining the Flexible and Rigid pavements all over the world. Efforts have been made to refer some of the publications related to this topic. Various defects in Flexible and Rigid pavements have been identified since the existence of Flexible and Rigid pavement. Pavement structure can be destroyed in a single season due to water penetration .Defects in Flexible and Rigid pavements is a problem of multiple dimensions, phenomenal growth of vehicular traffic (in terms of no. of axle loading of commercial vehicles), the rapid expansion in the road network, non-availability of suitable technology, material, equipment, skilled labor and poor funds allocation have all added complexities to the problem Flexible and Rigid pavements. Maintenance is set of activities directed towards keeping a structure in a serviceable state during its design life, Maintenance of a road network involves a variety of operations, i.e., identification of deficiencies and planning, programming and scheduling for actual implementation in the field and monitoring. The essential objective should be to keep the road surface and appurtenances in good condition and to extend the life of the road assets to its design life. Broadly, the activities include identification of defects and the possible cause there off, determination of appropriate remedial measures; implement these in the field and monitoring of the results.
