OBJECTIVE Abstract - Highway pavements are deteriorating fast due to 2Professor,
lack of timely maintenance, leading to higher vehicle operating costs, increasing number of accidents etc. Thus, timely maintenance of the highway pavement is essential. Because, once pavements start to deteriorate; they deteriorate rapidly beyond the point where maintenance is effective. Thus, there is an urgent need to develop a strategy for maintenance of pavement in a huge highway network. Priority of various maintenance activities to be carried out on pavement sections. Maintenance priority of the pavement is based on importance of the road sections, present road conditions, and future road conditions. In this study, a strategy for maintenance of highway pavement is proposed. In this study consists of detailed analysis of all aspects of pavement condition resulting in the identification of specific problems and their causes. The data type required for analysis range from simple data such as pavement design features and pavement geometrics, to detailed data obtained from destructive testing and non-destructive testing Firstly, failure patterns will classify between Rankuva Crossing To Chikhali-Vansda Highway in existing pavement by visual inspection. Secondly, I will study Visual maintenance and structural maintenance. For structural maintenance, stress and deflection of Rankuva Crossing To Chikhali-Vansda Highway will determine by using the various methods.
To get the overview of existing traffic flow, surface condition, geometry etc. To analyse existing road condition to find out possible causes of road stretchdeterioration To prepare a maintenance strategy of the selected pavement section. To Prepare the Overlay design for the improvement of the pavement section.
3. PROBLEM STATEMENT
One of the stretches of road with the highest volume of
traffic, particularly for commercial vehicles and laden trucks, is the Rankuva Chikhali-Vansda segment road. The presence of a quarry industry in the area of Chikhali is to blame for the heavy traffic of trucks carrying quarry material that are overburdened.
The road is a non-toll road, but NH 48, a toll road, runs

next to it. As a result, some traffic is diverted onto the chosen road section, adding to the volume of traffic along the road stretch.
1. INTRODUCTION
The road's construction and design were done to
withstand standard loads. The main factor contributing to the deterioration of road condition is heavy and crowded traffic. For the purpose of designing a road's pavement, the Benkelman beam deflection method (BBD) or another method must be used.
In India, post-independence road traffic development has been quite exceptional. The number of vehicles has increased from 3 lakh in 1951 to around 450 lakh today, while the amount of commodities transported by road has increased dramatically, from 600 million tonnes to 40,000 lakh tonnes today. The increase in vehicle numbers over the past 60 years is shown in Table 1.3. The volume and axle weights of traffic on Indian roadways are growing at an alarming rate; the annual growth rate is thought to be in the neighbourhood of 10%. The current road network is under a great deal of stress as a result of this unprecedented increase in car population and road usage. The axle loads carried by freight vehicles have increased significantly, but regulations governing axle weight limits have not changed significantly for a long time. As a result, pavements are suffering from fatigue and accelerated deterioration.
