A patch is defined as, “an area of pavement where part of the original pavement has been replaced or covered with new material to repair the existing pavement. A patch is considered a defect no matter how well it performs.” (NMDOT 2007).
As asphalt concrete pavement ages and is exposed to the effects of weathering, it begins to break down and has a likelihood of developing potholes. Potholes are an annoyance and a danger to the public and their patching consumes time from state department of transportation and local department of public works agencies that could be spent elsewhere. Therefore correctly patching potholes the first time is extremely important to reduce long-term costs associated with repeated patching. In addition, correct patching techniques prolong the life of the pavement and prevent further degradation, which can lead to an accelerated rate of decay of the pavement. Potholes can be dangerous to the travelling public, and “on principal roadways potholes are considered dangerous if they are vertically sided, are more than 1 inch deep and have an area of greater than one sq. foot.”
yes reconstruction well be best for this place very interesting matter keep it up
