Road is defined as infrastructure of land transportation that have important role for economic growth, social culture, development of tourism areas, and defense as well as security to support national development. While pavement is defined as a structure consisting of superimposed layers of processed materials above the natural soil sub-grade, whose primary function is to distribute theapplied vehicle loads to the sub-grade. In its development, pavements structure can be broadly classified into two types, flexible and rigid pavement. In Indonesia, rigid pavement most used than flexible pavement. In contrast different with average developed country that mostly using flexible pavement than rigid pavement. From the com performed ective of

Final e literature revi y aspect, conclusions can be drawn as follows: flexible pavement has more positive aspects than rigid pavement; rigidpavement is not safe to be used for vehicle with high speed, since has no skid resistance; repairing damage on rigid pavement is more difficult than on flexible pavement because if there is damage, it must dismantle the hard concrete slab, andthe repair or maintenance costs are also expensive. From those conclusions above,are the reason why in many countries around the world, flexible pavements are used more than rigid pavements.
