1. RUTTING Rutting is the longitudinal depression of the pavement along the wheel paths of the traffic. Rut depth should be measured in middle portion of each 20m subsection by placing a 1.5 m straight edge across the rut.

Error: Reference source not found Figure 1: Rutting along wheel paths

Figure 2: Measurement of Rutting using Straight Edge

2. RAVELLING Ravelling is the loss of aggregate particles from the surface. Percentage of raveled surface to be assessed visually.

Figure 3: Ravelling in bituminous layer

3. POTHOLE A pothole is a bowl-shaped hole through one or more layers of the flexible pavement structure.

Severity Levels: Low = Less than 25 mm deep. Medium = 25 mm to 50 mm deep. High = More than 50 mm deep.

Fig.4: Low Severity Pothole

Fig.5: Medium Severity Pothole

Fig.6: High Severity Pothole 4. CRACKING Severity Levels: Low – Individual cracks not interconnected. Small crack width (< 10mm) Medium – Interconnected cracks with small crack width < 10 mm OR individual cracks with larger crack width (>10mm) High – Interconnected wide (> 10mm) cracks

Fig.7: High Severity Cracking

Fig.8: Medium severity Cracking 5. EDGE DROP Edge drop is the difference between the levels of pavement surface at edge and the shoulder. This can be measured by using a scale held vertically and a bar held horizontally along the pavement surface.
