The concept of pavement management has evolved overtime owing to the need for roadway, pavement, and pavement network repair and maintenance. Pavement management has also evolved due to growing concerns about the alarming rates at which some pavement systems have deteriorated, a trend which also compromises their durability. One of the areas that have received growing scholarly interest and research is the role of expansive soils. Indeed, expansive soils or clays exhibit extensive strength and volume changes relative to the amount of moisture content. In this study, the main aim is to find out the impact of expansive soils on pavement deterioration and management, with specific insight gained from the context of Houston, Texas.
