Flexible pavement:

Are those pavements which reflect the deformation of subgrade and the subsequent layers to the surface.

Rigid pavement:

The rigid characteristic of the pavement are associated with rigidity or flexural strength or slab action so the load is distributed over a wide area of subgrade soil.

What is the difference between rigid and flexible flat feet?

The main distinction between rigid and flexible flat feet is that the former have an arch visible when the foot is not bearing weight (such as when sitting or standing on tiptoes) but collapse when standing, whereas the latter have no arch at all, regardless of whether weight is being placed on the foot.


What are the mode of failure of a 'Flexible' and a 'Rigid' pavement in the contents of 'High way engineerin'?

Flexible pavement typically fails due to fatigue cracking, rutting, and moisture damage. In contrast, rigid pavement tends to fail through joint and crack spalling, corner breaks, and pumping of fines from underlying layers.Understanding the specific failure modes for each type of pavement is crucial for designing and maintaining highways effectively.


What is the difference between strength and hardness?

The difference between strength and hardness is that the strength refers to the force that is present between the bonds. Strength attributes to how strong or weak the force between the bonds. Hardness refers to the nature of the force, which basically is how rigid or flexible the bonds between particles.
