Over the service life of a heavy-duty concrete pavement, concrete pavements will gradually degrade in ride quality and the slab surface may lose some of its initial texture, leading to a reduction in skid resistance and/or increased risk of aquaplaning. This Pavement Note summarises the types and causes of occasional...

Innovation, Sustainability, Low Carbon Concretes: How can we achieve in Pavements – was the hotly anticipated topic of our May 2022 Forum.
