Flexible concrete is a mix comprising of Correct Answer Gravel, sand, filler and 60/70 bitumen

Flexible pavements: Flexible pavements are so named because the total pavement structure deflects, or flexes, under loading. Flexible pavement distributes the wheel load through a set of layers grain by grain.

Flexible pavement is basically is bitumen pavement in which 60/70 bitumen is generally used along with the filler between gravel and sand.

Flexible pavement may be constructed in a number of layers and the top layer has to be of the best quality to sustain maximum compressive stress, in addition, to wear and tear. The lower layers will experience the lesser magnitude of stress and low-quality material can be used.

Consider the following statements: 1) workability of concrete increases with the increase in the proportion of water content 2) Concrete having small-sized aggregates is more workable than that containing large-sized aggregate 3) For the same quantity of water, rounded aggregates produce a more workable concrete mix as compared to angular and flaky aggregates 4) A concrete mix with no slump shown in the slump cone test indicates its very poor workability Which of the above statements are correct?
Permeability in concrete is studied towards providing for, or guarding against, which of the following features? 1. The penetration by materials in solution may adversely affect the durability of concrete; moreover, aggressive liquids 'attack' the concrete. 2. In the case of reinforced concrete, ingress of moisture and air will result in corrosion of steel leading to an increase in the volume of steel, resulting in cracking and swilling of the concrete cover. 3. The moisture penetration depends on permeability and if the concrete can become saturated with water it is less vulnerable to frost action.
Consider the following statements regarding pavements: 1. Rigid pavements are more suitable than flexible pavements for stage construction. 2. Rigid pavements are more affected by temperature variations than flexible pavements. 3. In a flexible pavement, any deformation in the top layers is transferred to under- laid layers; but, in rigid pavements, there is slab or beam action due to which any deformation is only in the top layer of the concrete slab. Which of the above statements are correct?
