The load transfer to lower layers in flexible pavements is by ____.
A. grain to grain contact
B. consolidation of subgrade
C. shear deformation
D. bending action of layers
Answer:A
The load transfer to lower layers in flexible pavements is by ____.
A. grain to grain contact B. consolidation of subgrade C. shear deformation D. bending action of layers
Explanation: The flexible pavement layers transmit the vertical or compressive stress to the lower layers by grain to grain transfer through the points of contact in the granular structure.
