Aggregates from crushed road concrete were tried in 7 test sections, and 84 samples from some lOcrushing plants were :ested in the laboratory. lt has been shown that aggregates suitable for re-use in sub-Jases or road bases can be produced not only in fixed plants butalso by small mobile crushers,...
Reuse of Crushed Concrete as a Road Base Material
Rapid Reconstruction of Concrete Slabs on Airfield Runways
The rapid reconstruction of concrete slabs on airfield runways is a technology presented to airports operation authorities in order to strictly shorten the reparation period when the runway is unpracticable. The French airports and airbases engineering services proceeded with two demonstration works on the BORDEAUX and NlMES airports. The reconstruction...

Developments in concrete road construction – European survey
A survey of European concrete road construction is presented on the occasion of the fifth International Symposium on Concrete Roads. The Synoptic Table 1986 c~nta~ns in tabul~r form the principal data and guidel~ nes for the des~gn and construction of motorways and other roads of con~rete in 15 European countries....
Theoretical study of technical and economic improvements resulting from the use of equipment train in concrete pavement construction
The report deals with technical and economic improvements resultiRg from the use of a concrete paving train in the construction of concrete roads. The following parameters are investigated: number of trucks needed for the transport of concrete depending on the capacity of the mixing ~lantt the progress rate of the...
Concrete overlay on the regional major road Eersel-Belgium frontier (SI7)
Since 1984 the county of ~oord-Brabant in the. ~etherlands is working out a programme ofconcrete cve r Lay i ng of old concrete pavements. These old pavements were mostly constructed in the 1960's. These roads, constructed on a sandbed,are unab Le to wi ths tand the increased weight and intens...
UK practice for the design and construction of concrete roads
1.1 Concrete roads constructed in the enited Kingdom based on the advice contained J.n Road Note 29 (3rd Edition) 1970 have generally proved to be satisfactory in that as far as is known there have been no failure of slabs due to traffic loading. l'lhere failures have occurred these have...
Large-size precast concrete slabs for urban road pavements with tramway tracks
In 1967 precast concrete slabs were experimentally used in lieu of granite paving sets as surfacings fur carriageways used by trams in Vienna's public transport system. After some tests, increasingly large areas were paved by this method from 1970 onwards. The evident advanta~es of precast slabs were the deciding factor:...
Thin continuously reinforced concrete and steel fibre reinforced concrete overlays – Performance assessment after two and three years in service
Seven experimental sections of thin overlay construction on old concrete and asphalt road pavements have been built in Belgium since 1982. These comprise a total area of 107 000 m2 of fibre reinforced concrete (five sections) of la cm and 12 cm thickness and 34000 m2 of continuously reinforced concrete...
New guidelines for the standardization of pavement structures 1986 edition (RStO 1986) – Comparative study at European level
The new standardization guidelines RStO 86 contain rules for the surfacing of roads and other trafficked areas with bituminous, concrete or block pavements, for fully cement-bound pavements as well as for cycle tracks and footpaths. Six pavement construction classes are distinguished, depending on traffic loading. For determining the construction class,...
