        abstract = {India has the second-largest road network in the world spanning about 4.69 million km comprising different categories of roads. Only half of the total road network is paved and of the paved roads, 90% of them are bituminous pavements. Pavement design is the process of developing the most economical combination of pavement layers to suit the soil foundation and the cumulative traffic to be carried during the design life
The main factors to be considered in the pavement design are traffic; climate, road geometry; position, soil, and drainage. Highway pavement is deteriorating fast due to lack of timely maintenance Thus; timely maintenance of the highway pavement is essential. Road maintenance is one of the important components of the entire road system. Right maintenance treatment is to be given to the right place at the right time. A flexible pavement failure is defined by the formation of potholes, ruts, cracks, localized depressions, settlements, etc.
The localized settlement of any one component layer of the flexible pavement structure could be enough to cause pavement failure. These are the mainly common deficiencies that occurred in flexible pavement.
