The Correct option is all of the above.

Explanation:

Flexible pavement design is influenced by several key factors: wheel loads, traffic intensity, climate conditions, and subgrade soil characteristics. These factors determine the pavement's ability to withstand loads and environmental conditions over its design life.

The Correct option is all of the above.

Flexible pavement design is influenced by several key factors: wheel loads, traffic intensity, climate conditions, and subgrade soil characteristics. These factors determine the pavement's ability to withstand loads and environmental conditions over its design life.

Answer: The correct answer is "All the above".

Explanation: The design of flexible pavements involves multiple factors:
Wheel loads: The magnitude and frequency of wheel loads affect pavement design.
Intensity of traffic: Traffic volume and type (light or heavy) play a role in determining the pavement's strength and thickness.
Climate of the region: Temperature variations, rainfall, and freeze-thaw cycles influence the material choice and pavement thickness.
Sub-grade conditions: The strength and moisture content of the soil beneath the pavement (subgrade) affect the pavement design.

So, all the above factors contribute to the design of flexible pavements, making the answer to this question correct as "All the above".

I too agree, option E is the correct answer.

E is the right answer.

E is the correct answer because we consider all these factors in the design of flexible pavement. Consider the following (according to AASHTO standards):

A. Wheel loads: Equivalent Single Axle Load (ESAL).
B. Intensity of traffic: w18 (Sum of ESALs found by multiplying Axle Load Equivalency Factors with Average Daily Traffic).
C. Climate of the region: Drainage conditions (Drainage factors M2, M3).
D. Sub-grade conditions: CBR and Resilient Modulus.

Hence, E is the correct answer.

Option E is correct.

Thanks @Sunny.

Option C is correct as both the rigid & flexible pavement construction involves with op. A, B, D etc. But specially flexible pavement is the one in which case climatic condition should have to be taken into account to determine the grade of bitumen etc.
