Description
Summary:The pavement surface quality (PSQ) is the most significant element of highways. To assure PSQ, it is necessary to check its performance periodically. The data from field test carried on Link road, near Samrala Chowk, Ludhiana by using Falling Weight Deflectometer (FWD) was collected for analysis. It is a non-destructive testing device that is used for the determination of the deflection value of damaged surfaces that may be in the form of potholes, isolated cracked areas, ruts, raveling, etc. This system only provides the deflection values. Therefore, it is necessary to use a decision-making technique to assess the quality of pavement surfaces at a particular location. In this paper, an alternative method based on the technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) is considered for ranking of PSQ. The results presented that chainage 500 m has good PSQ as it has been ranked one. Similarly, the chainage 5000 m ranked two because the PSQ of this chainage was less good as compared to the chainage 500 m and followed by chainage 4000 m, 1500 m, 0 m, 6000 m, 2000 m, and 1000 m respectively. The study also helps to decide maintenance requirements according to the surface condition of the pavement.
