Paper Title
Micro Surfacing for Sustainable Pavement Preservation

Abstract
India's National Highway network has witnessed significant expansion over the past few decades. With the increase in road length, there is a growing need to extend the lifespan of highway pavements to maximize their benefits. Various techniques are employed to achieve this goal, and one such emerging technique is micro surfacing. Micro surfacing acts as a protective layer, enhancing skid resistance, surface durability, and sealing fine cracks. Implementing a preventive maintenance program enables cost-effective pavement maintenance, resulting in better pavement quality and reduced overall costs. Micro surfacing is extensively utilized for both pavement preservation and preventive maintenance, offering environmental benefits. This study focuses on designing micro surfacing and its applications for concrete roads, with thorough analysis of various mixing and laying techniques. The research outcomes will contribute to the development of micro surfacing solutions for concrete roads in India, ultimately enhancing their lifespan and quality.
