Paper Title
Micro Surfacing for Sustainable Pavement Preservation
Abstract
India's National Highway network has witnessed significant expansion over the past few decades. With the
increase in road length, there is a growing need to extend the lifespan of highway pavements to maximize their benefits.
Various techniques are employed to achieve this goal, and one such emerging technique is microsurfacing. Microsurfacing
acts as a protective layer, enhancing skid resistance, surface durability, and sealing fine cracks. Implementing a preventive
maintenance program enables cost-effective pavement maintenance, resulting in better pavement quality and reduced overall
costs. Microsurfacing is extensively utilized for both pavement preservation and preventive maintenance, offering
environmental benefits. This study focuses on designing microsurfacingand its applications for concrete roads, with thorough
analysis of various mixing and laying techniques. The research outcomes will contribute to the development of
microsurfacing solutions for concrete roads in India, ultimately enhancing their lifespan and quality.
