What is the function of rigid pavement?
To act as binder materials to the soil
To provide level, comfortable and safe surface.
To act as water proof layer to stop infiltration of surface water.
To provide a convex surface and drainage
This layer provides characteristics such as friction, smoothness, noise control and drainage.
Surface course
Binder course
wearing course
base course
The base course generally consists of aggregate or (a) aggregate or soil and lean concrete
It functions primarily as structural support. This refer to :
Surface course
base course
sub-base
sub-grade
The materials used for rigid pavement:
Concrete
joints
reinforcement
tarmac
(a) are discontinuities in the pavement slab that are necessary to allow for expansion, contraction, and warping
This diagram is refer to:
Jointed Reinforced Concrete Pavement (JRCP)
Jointed Plain Concrete Pavement (JPCP)/ Mass Concrete
Continuously Reinforced Concrete Pavement (CRCP)
Prestressed Concrete (PSCP)
