Abstract

Roads are an important asset because of their enormous value and very strategic role in development, so they must be properly maintained in order to function as expected. As it ages, a pavement will experience a decrease in conditions due to continuous traffic loads and other factors such as temperature and changing weather. An indication of a deterioration in road conditions is damage to the pavement surface. For this reason, road maintenance techniques are needed so that the road is always functioning at all times. Proper maintenance will provide the desired service life. Conversely, if maintenance is not carried out properly it can cause the road to break down quickly. In this study, the authors conducted research on one of the roads in the city of Bengkulu, namely Jalan Kalimantan Merpati 17 Rawa Makmur, Bengkulu City.
