Rutting Mitigation In Roads: Enhancing Pavement Durability And Safety

Rutting on roads is a major issue that occurs when repeated traffic loading causes permanent deformation in pavement materials. It leads to decreased load-bearing capacity, reduced skid resistance, and increased noise pollution. Rutting occurs due to the weakening of shear strength and loss of cohesion between pavement particles. Contributing factors include inadequate compaction, low resilient modulus, and insufficient subgrade support. Prevention strategies focus on improving material properties, increasing compaction, and optimizing traffic loading. Repair methods include overlays, reconstruction, and localized patching. Regular maintenance is crucial to prevent rutting progression and extend pavement lifespan.
