Question

How a paved road is different from a concrete road? Mention the advantages and disadvantages of the both. 

Expert Solution
Step 1

Paved Road - Paved road is constructed utilizing aggregate. After all, the binding agent is bitumen, a black, sticky petroleum products element. So if sidewalks, parking spaces or walkways are constructed utilizing pavement development, heated pavement (crude oil combined with fine aggregate) is spilled over to a thicker concrete base and afterwards pushed in there with a roller. When the pavement settles down to a surface air temperature, it's indeed solid enough to survive vehicle load. Although pavement is incredibly tough and resilient, it provides ample mobility to tolerate defects on the layer provided, a quality which is basically nonexistent in cement . 

Concrete road - Concrete is produced utilizing aggregate (such as shredded gravels and sand), together with cement paste. In mortar road, the cement behave as the binding material, carrying the aggregate around each other. When the solution gets dry it develops a hard, uncompromising strong that is vulnerable to shattering and splitting, particularly if this is not completely soft on the ground underneath.
