Concrete pavements are the
most versatile pavements available. They are used as sidewalks
that support foot traffic to runways that support 350,000 pound
aircraft. They may be designed for a life of 5, 10, 20 and even
50 years, a range that far exceeds what is possible with any
other pavement material.
Each concrete pavement
consists of a number of important components. Engineers can
select options for these components to produce a unique design
that is tailored to specific project needs.
As a result of the
versatility and the range of features, not all concrete
pavements are alike. This is certainly evident when comparing
the pavements designed by state Departments of Transportation
and other design and specifying agencies.
