Abstract: There are many factors that can affect the lifecycle of a road pavement. Varying conditions of pavements along
the country are attributed to several factors including design factors such as heavy vehicle traffic, and construction and
maintenance practices. Errors in the practice of the application of those factors will reflect to the lifespan of the pavement.
Based on the data collected, factors regarding construction practices and quality control, compared to design and
maintenance factors are the most frequent cause of pavement defects and deficiencies. Accuracy in the design factors and
quality control must be undertaken for the pavement to serve the traffic for which it was designed. Effective road
maintenance and rehabilitation work is needed to preserve the pavement from further deterioration.
