Which of the following is an INCORRECT statement with respect to the
characteristics and design factors of rigid and flexible pavements?
Rigid pavements do not get deformed to the shape of the supporting layer below it.
The lower layers of flexible pavements face stresses of lesser magnitudes as compared to the pavement surface directly under the wheel load.
The stresses in rigid pavements are analysed by using the plastic theory, assuming that the pavement is resting over a rigid surface.
The flexible pavement layers may reflect non-recoverable as well as recoverable deformations of the lower layers, including the sub-grade onto the upper layers and also the pavement surface
