Functional and structural evaluation of road pavements along sixth street industrial area road

Abstract

Pavement evaluation is carried out to determine the existing condition of pavements in terms of its surface and structural adequacy. In the present research work the pavement is evaluated using destructive and non-destructive methods. An attempt is made to evaluate the condition of a selected section of a pavement on sixth street industrial area. Structural evaluation is carried out to determine the capacity of the pavement to withstand future traffic loading and serve the motoring public in a safe and efficient manner is adversely affected by the observable pavement surface distresses. Therefore, monitoring the performance of pavement will help to objectively determine the current condition of the pavements and consequently a management plan for maintenance, rehabilitation or reconstruction. From the analysis of data, the overlay thickness required to maintain the pavement in serviceable condition is determined. Road pavement performance is determined based on the requirements of the functional and structural condition. The functional conditional requirements relate to roughness, pavement surface aggravation, while the structural condition requirements relate to the pavement strength or carrying capacity in serving the load and the traffic flow. The aim of this research is to evaluate the functional and structural of the flexible pavement on sixth street industrial area. Key words: Pavement Evaluation, Distress, Functional Evaluation, Structural Evaluation, Overlay Design.
