Warning Bells by World Bank on the Need for
Pavement Maintenance in Developing Countries
• Failure to maintain roads is tantamount to an act of disinvestment; it implies sacrifice of past investments
• A dollar saved in road maintenance can increase the VOC by 2 to 3 dollars
• Transportation crisis is looming large in several developing countries where the escalating damage to the roads is not contained.
• Without corrective action many developing countries may soon face a situation in which poor roads, and therefore inadequate road transport, become an insurmountable obstacle to economic recovery and growth.

What is Pavement Maintenance?
• Pavement maintenance is treatment of road defects
The first step in the maintenance process is collection of information about defects
• Some defects are environment-related, like silting of drains, clogging of culverts & vegetation growth. These are treated under routine maintenance (say, twice a year).
• Traffic induced defects are assessed by manual and mechanical methods and treated according to the type and intensity of defect.

Defects Measurement
• Measuring wheel is run to give chainage and length of
defect.
• Width of defect measured with tape at start and finish of
defect
– Ignore small areas, < (1m x 0.5m), of cracking &
ravelling (loss of stone)
– Record all potholes with size 0.3m x 0.3m and above
– Ignore edge deterioration of length < 1 metre
• An example of defects measurement of asphalt surfaced
pavement is shown in next two slides

Explanation of Defects Measurement
Procedure
• The form is divided vertically into pairs of rows. It is filled in bottom up.
• The lower left col. of each pair of rows records start & end chainages of particular defect.
• The top right col. of each pair records the width of that defective area
• The top left col. of each pair records the difference in chainages (length of defective area).
• The entries into the form progresses gradually up the page as the survey moves along the road.
• Rut depth is recorded at 100 m interval in both wheelpaths. The greater of the values recorded with its chainage.
• Make a note of bleeding and shoving separately

– Longitudinal, in wheel tracks
& edges
– Transverse, across cross
section
– Mesh cracking
• Main causes
– Poor quality materials
– Poor workmanship
– Less pavement thickness
– Aged pavement

Detailing of Pavement Defects
• Defect: Cracking (continued)
– Development
If neglected, general or local destruction of pavement
– Remedies
• Surface cracking: local sealing or filling of cracks
• Cracks in pavement structure: local sealing, filling

(see maintenance treatments)

Treatment of Defects
• Treatment: Local Sealing
• Defects treated: Cracks & Final treatment for local repairs

17
Execution of Works
crack sealing (continued)

Detailing of Pavement Defects
(continued)
• Defect: Ruts and Depressions
– Location
• In wheel tracks of vehicles (ruts)
• Local areas (depressions)
– Main causes
• Insufficient subgrade or pavement strength
• Inadequate stability of bituminous mix
8/2/2011 Construction Project Management,

19
Detailing of Pavement Defects(continued)
• Ruts and Depressions (continued)
– Development
If neglected water penetrates, rapid increase in rutting;
leads to cracking and breaking up of pavement
– Remedies
• Slight rutting (< 50 mm): filling in of ruts and
depressions
• Deep rutting: local restoration of pavement structure
8/2/2011 Construction Project Management,
NAC, Hyd
20
Execution of WorksFilling in Depressions
• Defects treated
– Pavement subsidence and surface irregularities
• Materials used
– Cold mix asphalt, prepared in advance and stored
• Execution
– a) sweep depressions. (Surface to be clean and dry)
– b)Mark out the area with chalk. Remove high spots with pick axe
– c) Obtain cold mix
8/2/2011 Construction Project Management,
NAC, Hyd
21
Execution of Works
Filling in Depressions– d) Application of tack
coat.Spray hot cutback with water can at nearly 0.5kg/m2. Do not overheat cutback.
– e) Fill in depression. Place cold mix within marked outline. Use a rake. Leave excess thickness about one third of depth of depression to allow for compaction.
– f) Compact material. Compact thoroughly using small vibratory roller or a rammer until level is 3 mm proud of surrounding area
– g) Resealing. Seal (local sealing) the repair to prevent penetration of water.

Execution of works
Base Patching

depressions, edge
subsidence and rutting,
potholes, shoving
• Materials used

23
Execution of works
Base Patching
– c) Increase depth of hole
until firm dry material is
found. Trim the walls of
the hole to be vertical.
Remove all moisture
d) Trim bottom of hole so
that it is flat horizontal
and free of loose
material and compact
8/2/2011 Construction Project Management,
NAC, Hyd
24
Execution of works
Base Patching
• Backfilling Hole
– Fill hole with selected well graded material. Material may be of same quality as base layer that is repaired or cold asphalt mix
– Place material in the hole and compact in one or more layers. The last layer to have greater thickness (1/5th extra) to allow for settlement after compaction
– For compaction, use vibratory roller, plate compactor or rammerdepending on size of excavation
• Resealing
– Reseal (local sealing) to prevent penetration of water

shoulders

28
Detailing of Pavement Defects(continued)
• Edge subsidence and Rutting (continued)
– Development

Detailing of Pavement Defects(continued)
• Defect: Potholes– Location
• No particular location, often in cracked areas, deformation or aggregate loss
