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 coupling.
The threads
There are many like flexible coupling, jaw coupling, sleeve coupling, tire coupling, pin and bush coupling, rigid coupling, etc
What is the difference between a service & isolation valve? Service & Isolation valves are an essential part of a bathroom suit. Both valves are available in a straight or bent form and can come rigid or flexible on a short pipe. In the UK, the fittings come in a 15 or 22mm size and varies from country to country. Remember to place a fibre washer in the service valve!
The pipe that is available in both flexible and rigid forms is PVC (polyvinyl chloride) pipe. Rigid PVC pipe is commonly used in construction and plumbing for its durability and strength, while flexible PVC is often used in applications like irrigation and garden hoses where bending and maneuverability are needed. Both types offer resistance to corrosion and chemicals, making them versatile for various applications.
What is the difference between rigid and flexible coupling.
one is rigid and the other is flexible :)
The difference between a structure that is rigid and one that is flexible is that the rigid structure will not bend or flex when force is applied. A structure that is rigid cannot flex.

A yardstick is rigid - a tape measure is flexible.
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.
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.
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.

The answer to the analogy "rigid is to flexible" is "strict is to lenient." Just as rigid and flexible are opposite in terms of stiffness, strict and lenient are opposite in terms of severity.
