AB  - The primary function of pavement is to distribute the concentrated 
  loads so that supporting capacity of the sub-grade soil is not exceeded. Due 
  to continuous application of impact loading, pavement surface often subjected 
  to various types of distresses. The study was conducted on a portion (madina 
  market to tuker bazar) of Sylhet-Sunamganj road that acts as a very important 
  link between two adjacent towns. Pavement Condition Ratings (PCR) of the pavement 
  was obtained on the basis of severity and extent of different types of distresses 
  such as alligator cracks, longitudinal cracks, potholes, rutting, raveling, 
  patching, etc. The PCR values of different segments of madina market to tuker 
  bazar were evaluated in this study most of which fall within the category of 
  very poor to poor conditions. Such condition of PCR immediately recommends proper 
  treatment of the pavement for usage convenience.
