The Durability of road structures depends on the quality of its
maintenance & minor renovations. Maintenance keeps the roadway safe,
provides good driving conditions & prolongs the life of the
pavement, thus protecting the road investment.
Currently in India more than 2000 km of concrete road is in the operation since last few years. Most of the projects completed by NHAI, MSRDC and other state government authorities.
Though the quality & procedural aspects, specifications / guidelines clearly mentions in IRC, MoRTH, but still we observes that various minor cracks, potholes and joints edge spalling in the PQC due to various factors which requires maintenance.
Maintenance includes the prompt sealing of cracks & filling of potholes to prevent water entering through the surface.
Repairs and rehabilitation of concrete roads are required to have a smooth riding quality as well as avoid inconvenience causing to the vehicles.
We need to have a durable repair products to avoid of cost of various factors like :
a) Diverting the traffic for repairs
b) Inconvenience to the traffic
c) Repeatedly cost of repairs by using conventional methods.
