    This document summarizes three types of pavements: flexible pavement made of materials like bitumen and asphalt with load transfer between grains; rigid pavement made of cement concrete with load transfer over a wider area; and plastic roads. It also compares flexible and rigid pavements, noting that flexible pavement has more layers but lower initial cost and higher maintenance, while rigid pavement has fewer layers but higher initial cost and lower long-term maintenance.

    A presentation on

    Flexible Pavement,
    Rigid Pavement, and
    Plastic Roads.
    Under Guidance of
    Prof. S. B. Deshmukh.

    Represented by
    Kulbhushan Jivrag.
    PAVEMENT:
    The upper-most layer of road
    surface.
    There are two types
    1. Flexible
    2. Rigid
    FLEXIBLE PAVEMENT:
    Material: Bitumen, Tar and Asphalt
    Load transfer :grain-to-grain.
    The stresses decreses with increse in depth.
    TYPES OF FLEXIBLE
    PAVEMENT:
    The following types of construction have been
    used in flexible pavement:
    1. Conventional layered flexible
    pavement,
    2. Full - depth asphalt pavement,
    3. Contained rock asphalt mat (CRAM).
    RIGID PAVEMENTS
    Material: Cement Concrete
    Load transfer: with wider area.
    COMPARISION:
    FLEXIBLE RIGID
    • Aggregates and bitumen • pcc
