A MANUAL OF PAVEMENT REPAIRS

The standards of maintenance depend upon the policy of the road authority, therefore this manual makes no serious attempt to lay down standards. The methods described have been checked out by discussions with skilled practitioners, thus the manual provides a reference for field overseers on current good practice. It covers: drainage (surface water, subsoil water and drain cleaning), shoulders (earth and grass, metal and sealed shoulders, chemical vegetation control, grading shoulders), bitumen pavements (minor seal coats, basic patching methods, shape defects, edge break), concrete slab pavements (joint and crack defects, damage to slabs, pumping, surface failures, subsidence and differential settlement), urban works (road openings for public services, problems with restrictions on levels, manholes and hydrants, skid resistance, bus stops and traffic signals, urban drainage, joint problems between kerb and pavement, pavements with high ground water levels; special plant); and miscellaneous (frost heave, clay intrusion, repair of lime and cement treated bases, tree roots and trees, railway level crossings, special problems with bridge approaches).
