Expert Solution & Answer

Explanation of Solution

No, while choosing between the rigid pavement or flexible pavement the transport agency should they should not be weigh both of them as equal. This is because each type of pavement has different features; different cost involved and has different lifestyle. Based on what is required, the agency can choose which type of pavement is optimal for them.

The rigid pavements are constructed with cement concrete slabs. It provides a sufficient strength to the load of traffic. The flexible pavements are constructed with the mixtures of asphaltic. The flexible pavements are designed in such a way that loads from traffic decreases as it gets transmitted downwards.

Conclusion:

So, the transport agencies should not weigh rigid pavement and a flexible pavement as equal.
