Rigid pavement is a type of road surface made from concrete. It is designed to distribute loads over a wide area, which helps prevent cracking and deformation. This durability makes it suitable for heavy traffic and long-lasting use. Unlike flexible pavements, which use asphalt, rigid pavements rely on their strength and stiffness. They are often used in highways, airport runways, and industrial areas. The construction of rigid pavements typically involves placing large concrete slabs, which can be reinforced with steel to enhance their strength and longevity.
