Design, Materials and Construction Analysis of a Concrete Pavement

Abstract

The paper presents the performance analysis of a concrete pavement, conclusions of the investigation and recommendations made for ensuring its durability. The main causes of imperfections were established by an investigation performed at the request of the contractor of a concrete pavement made at the platform of an industrial company. The platform covers around 200 000 m2, and was built in 2002. Since than, numerous maintenance works were done, especially by replacing the damaged panels. The purpose of the investigation was to identify the causes that led to an unacceptable performance of the concrete pavement claimed by the owner, and to recommend measures in order to ensure the future normal service of
the pavement.
