Concrete and asphalt are two common materials used for paving roads. Concrete pavements are more durable and have a longer lifespan than asphalt roads but require more initial investment. Asphalt roads have lower upfront costs and require less maintenance than concrete but must be repaired and resurfaced more frequently over their lifespan. The analysis compares the material properties, installation costs, maintenance requirements, and overall lifetime costs of concrete versus asphalt pavements.
