It is well known that the initial cost of construction of Flexible Pavement is less than that of Rigid Pavement whereas the Life Cycle Cost of Rigid Pavement is less than that of flexible pavement. This paper mainly covers the cost comparison between Flexible and Rigid Pavement during the construction stage and in the designed service period. It has been established here with the help of simple cost analysis that the initial cost of Construction of Rigid Pavement is about 27.63% more than that of the Flexible Pavement and the Life Cycle Cost of Rigid Pavement is about 19.00% less than that of the Flexible Pavement. The necessity of taking required precautions during the Pre-construction stage, Construction stage, Quality Control stage and Post construction stage of Rigid Pavement are also summarised here. |
