Verified Solution4 OptionsUpdated: October 2026👁️1 View
Share:
- 1The flexible pavement layers may reflect non-recoverable as well as recoverable deformations of the lower layers, including the sub-grade onto the upper layers and also the pavement surface.
- 2The stresses in rigid pavements are analysed by using the plastic theory, assuming that the pavement is resting over a rigid surface.✓
- 3The lower layers of flexible pavements face stresses of lesser magnitudes as compared to the pavement surface directly under the wheel load.
- 4Rigid pavements do not get deformed to the shape of the supporting layer below it.
Correct answer
The stresses in rigid pavements are analysed by using the plastic theory, assuming that the pavement is resting over a rigid surface.
