Maintenance of roads

The behavoiur of a road passes through a number of stages. After construction has been completed and the road is in operation, it enters a setting down stage which may last for one or two years. During this time construction imperfections become evident, particularly after a wet season. Such faults can usually be corrected by routine maintenance means such as minor patching and pot-hole repair.

As a road is subjected to traffic it is progressively damaged. The road enters its next life cycle stage when the surface deficiencies have worsened to the extend that they require some major repair effort, usually in the form of resealing or overlaying.
