Today, the great majority of Emergency Hard shoulders on Continuous Reinforced Concrete Pavement Motorways of the French network are build with full thickness lean concrete. The principle of this process (background, drainage, laying, seals, surface treatment, concrete formulas) are described below.
Lean Concrete Hard Shoulders Alongside Continuous Reinforced Concrete Overlays
Evaluation of Existing Pavements and Conçrete Overlay Design in the Netherlands
Working Committee «Overlay in concrete» is founded to create a manual containing practical methods for designing and building concrete overlays for road and airport pavements for Dutch conditions. Results of the Working Committee activities are presented in this paper. A method to determine the bearing capacity of existing pavements is...
Resurfacing Flexible Pavements with Thin Layers of Concrete with Steel Reinforcement
This paper describes the studies, reports and experimental sections related to this new type of pavement, not conventional, composed of a thin concrete layer, but with a steel reinforcement, in sufficient quantity to resist the traffic loads. The description goes back to the first studies and tests carried out inthe...

Bond characteristics for concrete overlays
Even though a bonded overlay has the advanta~es such as lower cose and fewer problems in matching adjacent facilities, ic has not been used widely in Japan. The reason is that bond characteristics in concrete overlays have not been revealed and insufficient bond in con~entional techniques has caused some problems...
Thick concrete overlays in Belgium
The technique of con5tructin~ thick concrete overlays is at present being greatly developed in Belgium. Three periods are to be distinguished in overlay construction in this country: 1960 to 1969: experimental phase in which 210.000 m2 of overlay was constructed; 1970 to 1977: the second phase, in which the results...
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...
