LEAN CONCRETE ROAD BASES
LEAN CONCRETE WHICH WAS FIRST USED AS A BASE UNDER A BITUMINOUS SURFACING ABOUT 30 YEARS AGO HAS BEEN INCREASINGLY USED IN THE LAST 20 YEARS, AND IS NOW ONE OF THE COMMON BASE MATERIALS ON HEAVILY TRAFFICKED ROADS. GENERALLY THE PERFORMANCE OF THESE ROADS HAS BEEN SATISFACTORY, THE MOST COMMON DEFECT BEING THE FORMATION OF TRANSVERSE CRACKS THROUGH THE SURFACING. THE EXTENT TO WHICH THESE CRACKS OCCUR AND THE AMOUNT OF ANY DEFORMATION HAVE BEEN USED TO ASSESS THE PERFORMANCE OF BOTH EXPERIMENTAL AND NON-EXPERIMENTAL ROADS, AND THE REQUIREMENTS OF THE CURRENT SPECIFICATION AND CURRENT DESIGNS ARE DISCUSSED IN RELATION TO THIS INFORMATION. /RRL/A/
