33. WHAT IS ROAD AND PAVEMENT
?
 Road is an open, generally public way for the passage
of vehicles, people, and animals.
 Pavement is finished with a hard smooth surface. It
helped make them durable and able to withstand traffic
and the environment. They have a life span of between 20 –
30 years.
FUNCTIONS
One of the primary functions of pavement is load
distribution. It can be characterized by the tire loads, tire
configurations, repetition of loads, and distribution of traffic
across the pavement, and vehicle speed.

34. Classification based on Material

35. • Tar is a Binding Material
• Easily Repaired and Maintained
• Due to Bitumen Layer Wearing surface is small
• Life is Short
Bituminous Road or Tar Road

36. - Wearing surface is Cement Concrete
- Rigid Pavement
- Life is High as strength is high.
- Difficult to repair and Maintain
- HIGH COST.
Concrete Road

37. • Base Course of Bitumen or Concrete
• Constructed with 2 to 3 layers of aggregates and soil
material
• Normally provided on VILLAGE ROAD.
–
•Earth material is main Constituent of the road,
•Kutcha road (Loacally available material),
•Formed by trace passers or bullock carts….
