Solution
Feasibility and design strategies assume that (a) regular pavement strengthening will be carried out to arrest deterioration (b) care will be taken to deal with localized imperfections as they arise (e.g. crack sealing).
Failure to control deterioration results either in an earlier requirement for strengthening or substantially increased costs of reconstruction
Optimize investment by judiciously applying maintenance interventions to arrest rate of deterioration and to preserve structural integrity of each road link in the network
Assumptions often not realized Economic penalties incurred Use of an appropriate pavement in practive which result in a need for management system
Premature reconstruction
