Road Inventory and Pavement Condition Survey
Classification of Roads
Road classification is a means of grouping a set of roads into a series of classes:
Rural Roads Urban Roads
I. Primary Roads (i) Arterial

(i) Expressways
(ii) National Highways (NH) (ii) Sub-arterial
II. Secondary Roads
(i) State Highways (SH) (iii) Collector Street
(ii) Major District Roads (MDR)
III. Tertiary Roads (iv) Local Street
(i) Other District Roads (ODR)
(ii) Village Roads (VR)
Faster roads are more important than slower roads;

Roads intended for longer distance traffic are more important than those for
local traffic.
Why Road Inventory ?
Road Inventory is of paramount importance to understand and

ascertain the road & its components, such as:
 Lane configuration
 Pavement Type
 Shoulder configuration
 Details of existing drainage
 Details of Cross Roads
Typical Cross Section (2-lane)
Typical Cross Section: 2-lane road

Typical Cross Section (4-lane)
Typical Cross Section: 4-lane road

Road Inventory
A detailed inventory is carried out along the project road corridor to
collect relevant information in respect of:

Why Pavement Condition Survey ?
 Assessment of existing pavement condition
 Diagnosis of the problem
 Adopting the most appropriate maintenance steps

Why Pavement Condition Survey ?
Before deciding any improvement proposal for a road, it is essential to
understand the condition of pavement and shoulders of the project
highway:
 To assess its performance
 Extent of pavement distresses
 Remaining Life
 Remedial measures required, if any:
Short-term: Repair / overlay
Long-term: Reconstruction / raising
General Causes of Pavement Failures:
 Defects in the quality of materials used.
 Defects in construction method.
 Poor quality control.
 Inadequate surface or subsurface drainage.
 Overloading and increase in traffic volume.
 Settlement of embankment.
 Environmental factors (heavy rainfall, soil erosion, high
water table, snow fall, frost action, etc).
Distress in Flexible Pavement:
• Cracking (Fatigue / Edge / Longitudinal / Transverse)
• Patching
• Potholes
• Ravelling
• Rutting
• Shoving
• Bleeding
• Polished aggregate
• Lane to shoulder drop-off
• Water bleeding and pumping
• Other
Distress in Rigid Pavement:

• Cracking (Corner / longitudinal / transverse)
• Joint Deficiencies
• Surface defects
• Polished aggregate
• Lane to shoulder drop off
• Lane to shoulder separation
• Patch Deterioration
• Water bleeding and pumping
• Miscellaneous
Methodologies for pavement investigation
(i) Pavement Composition (trial pit investigation)
(ii) Road and Pavement Condition Survey
• manual / visual
• mechanized
(iii) Pavement Roughness

• vehicle mounted bump indicator
• 5th wheel bump indicator
(iv) Pavement Structural Strength

• Benkelman beam deflection test (BBD)
• Falling weight deflectometer (FWD)
(v) Sub-grade Characteristics

Pavement Condition
Pavement Composition (trial pit investigation)
Trial pits are dug at every change of feature, to obtain the pavement
composition detail.
For each test pit following information are recorded:

Test pit reference (identification no. / location)
Pavement composition (material type and thickness) and
Sub grade type (textural classification) and condition (dry / wet)
Sub-grade Field Moisture Content
Pavement Condition (Cont.)

pavement surface conditions. The data generally covered:
 Riding quality (good/fair/poor/very poor)
 Pavement condition
Cracking (narrow and wide cracking), % of pavement area affected
 Ravelling, % of pavement area affected
Patching, no. & % of pavement area affected

Pavement Roughness (VMBI)
The Roughness Survey is carried out by using the Transport and
Road Research Laboratory (TRRL) “response type” VMBI (Vehicle
Mounted Bump Integrator) fitted to an ‘Ambassador’ car.
The survey is carried out along the outer wheel paths covering a
minimum of two runs along the wheel paths for each direction.
The results of the survey are expressed in terms of BI and IRI and
presented in tabular and graphical forms. The processed data is
analysed using the cumulative difference approach in order to
identify road segments homogenous with respect to surface
roughness.
Pavement Roughness Format
• Minimum two runs

• Separate run for each lane
• Data calibration by level instrument for good / fair / poor section
Pavement Structural Strength (FWD)
It is carried out using Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) technique in
accordance with procedure given in IRC: 115-2014 (“Guidelines for
Structural Evaluation and Strengthening of Flexible Road Pavements Using
Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) Technique”).

The basic working principle of the impulse loading equipment is to drop a
mass on the pavement to produce an impulse load and measure the
surface deflections.
The mass is dropped on a spring system, which in turn transmits the load
to the pavement through a loading plate. The resulting deflection bowl
characteristics are observed and used in the Back calculation of pavement
material properties.

Working Principle of FWD

Subgrade Characteristics
 Investigation on existing sub-grade of existing pavement

This activity is carried out during feasibility study. The sub-grade samples
are collected from the trial pits under the existing road and the physical &
strength characteristics are evaluated using laboratory testing.

 Investigations for the soil supporting on the proposed
widening/additional new road

To establish the existing ground soil properties, it is required to carry out
the borehole for a depth of 2m at 2 km intervals and/or where ever the
change in soil property is visually established during the field study.
The sub grade investigations and testing is carried out to determine:
 Visual classification
 Grain size distribution
 Hydrometer analysis for clay content
 Natural field density and moisture content
 Atterberg properties (LL, PL & PI)
 Shear properties (C, Ø)
 Shrinkage properties
 Soil classification
Classification of Highway Maintenance
 Routine maintenance / repairs
 Filling of potholes and patch repair
 Maintenance of shoulders
 Upkeep of road side drains
 Clearing choked culverts
 Periodic maintenance:
 Renewals of wearing coat
 Special repairs
 Strengthening / overlay
 Reconstruction / Widening
 Repair of damages caused by flood etc
 Providing additional safety measures
Highway Maintenance

 IS: 1498: “Classification and identification of soils for general engineering

purposes”
 IS: 2720: Part-1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 13, 16 & 40: “Methods of test for soils”

Set up for Vehicle Mounted Bump Indicator
Pavement Condition: Cracking
Occurs in areas subjected to repeated traffic loadings (wheel paths).
Can be a series of interconnected cracks in early stages of
development. Develops into many-sided, sharp-angled pieces, usually
less than 0.3 meters (m) on the longest side, characteristically with a
chicken wire/alligator pattern, in later stages.
Pavement Condition: Patching
Portion of pavement surface, greater than 0.1 m2, that has been
removed and replaced or additional material applied to the pavement
after original construction.
Pavement Condition: Potholes
Bowl-shaped holes of various sizes in the pavement surface.

Minimum plan dimension 150 mm.
Pavement Condition: Surface Defects
Raveling:
Wearing away of the pavement surface caused by the
dislodging of aggregate particles and loss of asphalt
binder.
Pavement Condition: Surface Deformations
Rut:
A rut is a longitudinal surface depression in the wheel
path. It may have associated transverse displacement.
Pavement Condition: Surface Deformations
Shoving:
Shoving is a longitudinal displacement of a localized
area of the pavement surface. Generally caused by
braking and accelerating vehicles.
Bleeding:
Excess bituminous binder occurring on the pavement
surface, usually found in the wheel paths.
Polished Aggregate:
Surface binder worn away to expose coarse
aggregate.
Pavement Condition: Miscellaneous Distresses

Difference in elevation between the travelled surface
and the outside shoulder.
