The proposed method has some basic steps as follows: (1) alligator or map cracking (2) consolidation of pavement layers (3) formation of waves (4) frost heaving (5) lack of binding with the lower course Inspection and evaluation plan 2.

Defects in the quality of material used.
Type of flexible pavement failure.
This is a fatigue failure caused in the asphalt concrete. Alligator cracking or map cracking (fatigue) consolidation of pavement layers (rutting) shear failure cracking. Formation of waves and corrugation. Determine probable causes of failure 5.
(2) failures in rigid pavements:
This type of failure causes undulations (ups and downs) and corrugations in the pavement surface. Failure criteria fatigue cracking is due to the build up of tensile strain at the bottom of asphaltic concrete layer pavement is considered failed if 20% of the surface has cracked rutting failure is due to the build up of excessive compressive strain at the top of subgrade layer pavement is considered failed if it exhibits a rut depth of 20 mm. Following 6 general causes of pavement failures are described below: Lack of binding to the lower course.
Types of failures in flexible pavements due to structural distresses some of the structural distresses which can cause failures in flexible pavements are:
Inadequate surface drainage or subsurface drainage in the locality. Alligator cracking of flexible pavements alligator cracks are also called as map cracking. Method for inspection and evaluation of pavement failures and to find out the possible causes of these failures. Nafeth abdel hadi faculty of engineering technology bau rutting problem:
Following are some of the typical flexible pavement failures:
Different types of failure encountered in flexible pavements are as follow. You can read in this article failure of rigid pavement in detail and briefly. Distresses in flexible pavements prepared by dr. This is one of the main causes of failure of flexible pavements.
