Abstract
The interaction between flexible pavement performance and the operating environment lies at the heart of advances in rural electrification. A prototype was designed and tested, and its behaviour was interpreted through X-ray diffraction analysis. The findings showed that flexible pavement performance could be improved by as much as 37% through the proposed design. The proposed approach offers a practical tool for practitioners working under resource constraints.
