Abstract
Heavy capital investments are being made in the country towards up gradation, improvement, and rehabilitation of existing road network. The primary aim of such large investment is to provide safe, efficient, faster, economical and comfortable transportation system to the travelling. But now a days travelling become very difficult due to the damage of roads. However the extent and severity of road damage occur due to a variety of influencing factor, including heavy wheel load, improper drainage, temperature, improper bitumen mix, improper compaction etc. One of the major factor find out is Highway roads which is present inside the urban area will get damage and its life span is very short when compare to Highway roads which is present outside the urban areas. In this case study we have chosen VKT road NH45C which is present inside the urban, are going to analyze that road what are the types of damage occur in that road, analyzing the construction process, comparing it with IS codes.
