Carreteras y pavimentos de hormigón


Explanation:
El término strong se utiliza para concretar el tipo de material a utilizar; asfalto en las carreteras de asfalto denominadas flexibles o semirígidas, y hormigón para las denominadas rígidas.
Con el término strong se está refiriendo a las rígidas i.e., hechas de hormigón.
