Rural Roads

The document discusses rural road design and construction. It provides a 14 mark design question calculating thickness for a rural road according to IRC specifications. It also asks about factors controlling rural road alignment, desirable road aggregate properties, and flexible pavement distresses. Several other questions address rural road surveys, route selection factors, shoulder requirements, rigid pavement failure criteria, and rural road improvement options.
