Rigid pavements experience various stresses that can lead to cracking and deterioration over time. Stresses occur due to environmental factors like temperature changes which cause expansion and contraction. Traffic loading also induces stresses from vehicles traveling on the pavement surface and from the weight of the vehicles. Proper design and construction techniques help rigid pavements distribute stresses uniformly and resist cracking.
