Roads or we can call it pavement .
There are two types of Pavement.
1. Flexible Pavement
2. Rigid Pavement
Comparison
Materials
Load Distribution
Structural Capacity

Flexible Pavement
Asphalt or Bitumen
Based on layered system (grain to
grain mechanism)
Depends on the characteristics of
every single layer

Rigid Pavement
Cement Concrete
Carries slab itself and goes to t
underlying starta
Only dependent on the
characteristics of concrete slab
bearing soil capacity of underly
soil)
Shallow (because of independe
on the underlying layers)

Deflection Basin

Very Deep ( because of its

dependency on the underlying layers)

Modulus of
Elasticity(stiffness)

very low,no stiffer than rigid (less

strength)

Very High,Stiffer (high strength

concrete and more load bearin
capacity of the pavement)

Layers

Have more layers ( Surface

Course,Base Course,Subbase
Course,Subgrade)
Evaluation needed every 10-15 years

Less Layers (Surface Course,Ba

Course,Subgrade)

Maintenance or
Rehabilitation
Cost
Construction

Less Expensive
Quicker to Perform within 24 hours

Strength
Force of friction

Have low flexural strength

less deformation,it is not transferred to
the upper layers

Damage

Damaged by oils and certain

chemicals

little or no need to be evaluate

can serve from 20 up to 40 yea
More Expensive
need time duration while curin
14 days) before being used for
public
Have high flexural strength
High Force of friction

No damage by oils and greases
