Evaluation of Pavement Section between Udalpur Crossing to Sevaliya Thashra

Abstract

Highway pavements are deteriorating fast due to lack of timely maintenance, leading to higher
vehicle operating costs, increasing number of accidents etc. Thus, timely maintenance of the highway pavement is
essential. Because, once pavements start to deteriorate; they deteriorate rapidly beyond the point where
maintenance will be ineffective. Thus, there is an urgent need to develop a strategy for maintenance of pavement
in a huge highway network. Maintenance priority of the pavement is based on importance of the road sections,
present road conditions, and future road conditions. The paper describes a strategy for maintenance of highway
pavement. In this paper consists of detailed analysis of all aspects of pavement condition resulting in the
identification of specific problems and their causes. The data type required for analysis range from simple data
such as pavement design features and pavement geometrics, to detailed data obtained from destructive testing and
non-destructive testing Firstly, failure patterns are classified between Udalpur crossing to sevaliya thashra
highway in existing pavement by visual inspection. Secondly, pavement serviceability index was determined. For
structural maintenance, stress and deflection of Udalpur crossing to sevaliya, thashra Highway are determined by
using the various methods.
