Abstract

India has one of the most extensive road networks globally, comprising various categories such as National Highways, State Highways, District Roads, and Village Roads. Each category of road plays an impressive role in economic development and connectivity among different important roads. But, the condition of these roads varies effectively due to difference in traffic intensity, construction quality, maintenance practices and climatic condition. The present research work conducted pavement condition surveys and mapping of common failures across several road categories was done. Several pavement distresses such as rutting, alligator cracking, longitudinal and transverse cracking, ravelling, potholes, patch work, depression and settlement were identified and their deterioration patterns were understood. The study results showed that percentage alligator cracking, longitudinal and transverse cracking, ravelling, potholes, patch work, depression and settlement, were found to affect Pavement Condition Index.
