Question

The pavement which process considerable flexural strength are known as

Answer 1

⇒ The pavement which possess considerable flexural strength is known as RIGID PAVEMENT

⇒ Flexural strength is also known as modulus of rupture or bend strength. It is a material property.

It is defined as the stress in a material just before it yields in a flexure test.

⇒ Rigid pavements have high flexural rigidity of the concrete slab. These pavements deflect very little under loading. This is because of high modulus of elasticity of their surface course.
