Pavement Distress
Pavement distress refers to various types of deterioration or damage that occur on the surface and structure of pavements over time. These distresses can result from a combination of traffic loads, environmental conditions, material deficiencies, and inadequate maintenance. Common types of pavement distress include cracking, bleeding, distortion, surface wear, disintegration, and environmental distress. Understanding and managing pavement distress is integral to maintaining the functionality and longevity of transportation infrastructure, ensuring safe and efficient travel for all road users.
