Review on Indian Highway Study on Causes of Failure Of Bituminous Pavement
Main Article Content
Abstract
The study on the causes of failure of bituminous pavements on Indian highways identifies key factors contributing to premature deterioration. Common causes include poor mix design, inadequate compaction, subgrade failure, poor drainage, overloading of vehicles, and extreme weather conditions. Structural distresses like rutting, fatigue cracking, and potholes are often linked to insufficient binder content, oxidation, and water infiltration. Construction deficiencies, such as improper layer bonding and poor-quality control, further accelerate pavement failure. The study emphasizes the need for improved material selection, quality assurance, and maintenance strategies to enhance the longevity of bituminous pavements in India.
