Abstract

Nowadays, highways, pavements, bridges, parking garages and other exposed structures are becoming functionally obsolete or deteriorating due to repeated application of vehicular loads and due to the effect of climatic parameters. Nondestructive structural evaluation of pavements is an important part of the pavement management. In the structural evaluation of flexible pavement the pavement deflection is measured by the Benkelman Beam. Rebound deflection is used for overlay design. A detailed pavement condition survey is done on State Highway 158 (Waghodiya crossing to Limda) and the road condition is evaluated structurally. The present study is evaluates the overlay thickness for State Highway 158 Waghodiya crossing to Limda.
