Rigid Pavements
Rigid pavements are types of road surfaces made primarily from concrete, which is a stiff, durable material. Unlike flexible pavements that bend and flex under traffic loads, rigid pavements distribute the weight over a large area due to their rigidity. This minimizes deformation and reduces the risk of cracks. They are commonly used for highways, airport runways, and heavy-traffic roads because of their strength, longevity, and ability to handle heavy loads, making them a reliable infrastructure choice for long-term durability and maintenance.
