A NEW PROCESS FOR THE LAYING OF MONOLITHIC COMPOSITE CONTINUOUSLY REINFORCED CONCRETE PAVEMENTS

Technical as well as financial developments have led to a new approach to rigid pavement techniques in France for heavy-traffic roads. Continuously reinforced concrete with the use of local aggregates is currently preferred. A monolithic composite structure made up of two layers of concrete of different composition is increasingly used. New techniques, involving continuous reinforcing and double-layer rigid pavement, have called for the development of specific equipment in order to produce good functional characteristics while allowing for construction performance and quality equivalent to that found at more traditional construction sites. Analysis of the results obtained on the highway construction site discussed in this paper reveals that the aims set by the designers have been fully met.
