Potholes are a common sight on roads. They are depressions on the pavement surface. Several reasons such as water, freezing, excessive heat, and wear and tear are causes of potholes. In spite of regular inspections, potholes can develop daily.
During winter, water beneath the asphalt surface freezes and thaws. This freeze-thaw cycle makes the surface unstable, resulting in cracks. This cycle gradually leads to gaps between surfaces, leading to the development of potholes. It is difficult to make permanent repairs during winters. Generally, a temporary method is used by adding cold mix asphalt to fill the potholes and cracks.
