In the present research work the pavement is evaluated using destructive and nondestructive methods. An attempt is made to evaluate the condition of a selected section of a pavement from Budalur to Pudupatti on State Highway 99. Based on the analysis of distress data, the pavement is rated by making use of IRC: 82 - 2015. Structural evaluation of pavement is carried out with Benkelman Beam to determine the capacity of the pavement to withstand future traffic loading. From the analysis of data the overlay thickness required to maintain the pavement in serviceable condition is determined. Key words: Pavement Evaluation, Benkelman Beam, Distress, Functional Evaluation, Structural Evaluation, Overlay Design. Cite this Article: B.

INTRODUCTION Pavements deteriorate with age and traffic loading. Evaluation of in service pavements is very vital for keeping them in good serviceable condition. To get a complete idea of the existing condition of any pavement both structural and functional evaluation are necessary. In the present it is proposed to carry out both of them for a selected section of pavement on a State Highway in Tamil Nadu, India, the details of which are given the methodology
