Description: Pavement failure refers to the deterioration of pavement due to various factors, which may include wear from traffic, weather conditions, the quality of materials used, and the design of the structure. This phenomenon can manifest in various forms, such as cracking, potholes, deformations, and loss of traction, which can compromise the safety and functionality of roadways. Monolithic pavements, which are constructed as a single piece without joints, are particularly susceptible to these failures due to their rigidity and lack of flexibility to adapt to ground movements. Early identification of these failures is crucial for planning repairs and proper maintenance, as deteriorated pavement not only affects user comfort but can also increase long-term repair costs. Furthermore, pavement failure can have a significant impact on road safety, increasing the risk of accidents. Therefore, it is essential to conduct regular inspections and apply appropriate rehabilitation techniques to extend the pavement’s lifespan and ensure optimal performance.
