INTRODUCTION
India has one the largest roads networks in the world(over 3 million km at
present)
For the purpose of management and administration, roads
in India are divided into the following five categories:
National Highways(NH)
State Highways(SH)
Village roads(VR)
Indian roads network-current status
National Highways 58,112
NHs are less than 2% of network but carry 40%of total traffic.
Roads
Types of pavements:
1. Flexible pavement
2. Rigid pavement
1. Flexible Pavement
Flexible pavement are
those which are
surfaced with
bituminous or asphalt
materials. It’s flexible
since the total
pavement structure
bends or deflects due to
the traffic loads.
Generally this type of
pavement requires some
sort of maintenance or
restoration every 10-15
years.
2. Rigid Pavement
A rigid pavement structure is
composed of a hydraulic
cement concrete surface
course and concealed base
and sub base courses. The
surface course is the rigid
layer and provides the
majority of strength.
While in case of rigid
pavement most of the load
carries by slab itself and slight
load goes to the underlying
strata.
