Abstract

According to the anticipated high use of commercial vehicles at the site, it is essential to give thorough attention to the design and selection of materials for the pavement structure. The expenses associated with pavement represent a substantial component of the overall expenditure for highway infrastructure. Therefore, it is essential to exercise caution while choosing the appropriate pavement type and specifications for the different layers comprising the pavement structure. Picking of pavement type, whether it be flexible or cement concrete, must be approached with great caution. The variables that contribute to traffic safety in relation to pavement include skid resistance, the capacity to drain water to prevent hydroplaning, and visibility during nighttime conditions. Cement concrete pavement has a notable initial advantage compared to bitumen pavement in this aspect, since the inclusion of surface texturing is an essential component of the standard building procedure for such pavements. In addition, their lighter color confers them with enhanced nocturnal visibility. Concrete pavements that are inadequately conceived and built are recognized for their extensive durability. The cement concrete roads that were previously created in the nation, albeit having a limited length, have shown exceptional performance, providing reliable service even under more demanding conditions than initially anticipated.
