Pavement DefectsTransverse Cracking
Cracks which usually appear across the road perpendicular to the centerline
February 5, 2013 Pavement Maintenance Practices in Dhaka-Chittagong Highway10
Possible Causes: • Poor construction joints. • Pavement Shrinkage due to asphalt hardening or freeze/thaw cycles. • Reflective cracking (cracks below the wearing course)
Pavement DefectsLongitudinal Cracking
Cracks which follow along the road parallel to the centerline.
February 5, 2013 Pavement Maintenance Practices in Dhaka-Chittagong Highway11
Possible Causes: • Poor construction joints. • Pavement Shrinkage due to asphalt hardening or freeze/thaw cycles. • Reflective cracking ( cracks below the wearing course)
Pavement DefectsAlligator Cracking
Blocks of interconnecting cracks resembling the skin of alligatorIndicator of roadway base failure
February 5, 2013 Pavement Maintenance Practices in Dhaka-Chittagong Highway12
Possible Causes: • Insufficient bearing support and repeated traffic loading. • Poor base drainage
Pavement DefectsShrinkage Cracking
Layer is subjected to stresses trying to move it but it is prevented from doing .
Tensile strength is insufficient for the stresses developed.
February 5, 2013 Pavement Maintenance Practices in Dhaka-Chittagong Highway13
Possible Causes: • Shrink due to a combination of excess moisture drying out of the layer • The hydration process of the cement reacting with the water causes heat and that the material will shrink on cooling.
Pavement DefectsCorrugations/Rutting
Longitudinal depressions parallel to the direction of travel, typical forming in the wheel tracks.
February 5, 2013 Pavement Maintenance Practices in Dhaka-Chittagong Highway14
Possible Causes: • Poorly constructed roadway. • Substandard or failing sub-bases. • Inadequate lateral support, failing or steep road shoulder.
Pavement DefectsRaveling
Spalding of the pavement surface causing the asphalt wearing course to separate from the binder course.
February 5, 2013 Pavement Maintenance Practices in Dhaka-Chittagong Highway15
Possible Causes: • Poor quality of
materials and/or construction.
• Inadequate drainage.
• Freeze-thaw cycling.
• Poor utility patching.
Pavement DefectsShoving
A longitudinal displacement of a localized area of the pavement surface.
February 5, 2013 Pavement Maintenance Practices in Dhaka-Chittagong Highway16
Possible Causes:•generally caused by braking or accelerating vehicles•usually located on hills or curves, or at intersections•may have vertical displacement
Pavement DefectsPot Holes
Holes in the asphalt surface which may be isolated or caused by a combination of other progressively failing pavement defects. (raveling, alligator cracking, patching).

SPOT SEALING WHAT
To Seal bituminous roadway surfaces with application of liquid bituminous material (straight run, cut-back or emulsion) covered with aggregate.
WHEREa)Fatty surfaces.
b) Raveling.c) Stripping.
d) Loss of aggregate ande) Shrinkage cracks
WHEN1) Sealing is not an emergency repair work. It can be programmed to meet the seasonal and weather conditions.
2) Scaling of scattered areas can be scheduled from October to April
HOW1) Safety devices and signs are placed to control of traffic during maintenance operation.
2) The area to be treated is boomed clean of dirt, dust and loose materials.3) Bituminous material of correct quantity is applied uniformly in the arm with hand sprayer. The bituminous material must be
at proper temperature for spraying.4) Aggregate cover material of correct size and quantity is then applied in an uniform thickness over the sprayed area with a
shovel.5) The aggregate is rolled into the bitumen as soon as possible using truck tyres. The entire area must be rolled by tyres at
least twice.6) The excess aggregate from around the side of the seal is then broomed off.

WHERETo prevent ingress of water through cracks (6 mm or wider) in bituminous pavement surface, the same
have to be filled with the bituminous filler material. Smaller cracks less than 6 mm wider do not need filling
WHENCrack filling is not a high priority item. It can Programmed to be done between March and May.
HOW1) Safety devices and signs are placed to control of traffic during maintenance operation.
2) The cracks are cleaned with stiff bristled broom and or compressed air jet.3) Cracks of width 6 mm or more are filled with bitumen emulsion slurry or liquid bitumen mixed with sand
using a hand squeegee and broom.4) When the crack fill is cured, it is sealed with hot liquid bitumen using a pouring can and a hand
squeegee. Cracks should be filled flush with pavement surface., Overfilling the cracks or using aggregates larger than sand should be avoided.
5) To prevent pick up of bitumen by traffic, the sealed surface of the crack is sprinkled with dry sand.

Recommendations• Establish a separate branch for only ‘’ Roads and its Maintenance’’ for Dhaka Chittagong highway.• The inspection of road condition should be occurred within three years• Using of automatic methods for an informative & details road condition survey• All the data should be digitalized for taking the decision for proper maintenance process & technique for long time sustainability of the pavement• Limit the load carrying capacity of heavy commercial vehicles to decrease the axle load of the vehicle in a segment on the pavement• Increase the work speed of Dhaka- Chittagong 4-lane highway project to decrease the load on existing pavement • Improve the railway facilities to carry the cargo to defuse the extra pressure of load from these cargo .• The inspection work for maintenance should be done immediately after the work to monitor the quality of the maintenance work.• The materials used for maintenance work should be better than initially constructed pavement materials.• Drainage problem should be solved as soon as possible because it effects
highway more than the local street because of heavy commercial vehicleFebruary 5,
2013 Pavement Maintenance Practices in Dhaka-Chittagong Highway53
Recommendations• For the regular & effective maintenances of this highway government
can apply road using cost on vehicles according to their weight to collect money for the improvement of this highway.
• The market place of the villages usually situated in the intersection points of highway. This creates traffic jam in road also causes sometimes serious accidents. Steps should be taken to move them from there to increase smoothness of flow & safety of people.
• The road crossing pattern of people on highway is very risky. A lot of people die every year . So, zebra crossing & other facilities need to be applied.
• There should be bypass facilities in the road to decrease the pressure in main highway and in case of any accident.
• Increase the allocation of budget in ‘’ road maintenance sector’’ • Introduce Long Term Pavement Performance (LTPP) program to improve
our ability to predict pavement performance• Roads & Highway department should have their own qualified contractor
panel for constructing road & maintenance. • Apply New Tools, Methodologies, and Technologies
