Technical Prescriptions for Concrete Pavements by the Spanish Ministry of Development

Prescriptions for concrete pavements issued by the Spanish Road Administration are included in two types of documents: the Standard for Structural Sections of Pavements (6.1 – IC) and the Specifications for Road and Bridge Works (PG 3). These documents were updated considering the latest advances in materials, construction processes and control and monitoring techniques, as well as the experience collected from a number of motorways in service. The paper presents an overview of these standards applicable to concrete pavements in the State highway network.
