CONFERENCE ON RIGID PAVEMENT HELD ON THE 29TH NOVEMBER, 1972 REVIEW OF METHODS OF SURFACING CEMENT CONCRETE PAVEMENTS

CONFERENCE DU 29 NOVEMBRE 1972 SUR LES CHAUSSEES EN BETON. BILAN DES TECHNIQUES DE REVETEMENT DE CHAUSSEES EN BETON DE CIMENT

The author recalls the experience gained during the laying of the concrete surfacings of the A6 motorway, between 1958 and 1968. The article is divided into 3 parts - (1) review of the main stages of rigid pavement surfacing techniques on motorway construction sites; (2) observations on the conditions of pavements in 1972; (3) observations on the strength, roughness, and skidding resistance of surfacings, and suggestions regarding the various fields of application of rigid pavements. /TRRL/
