Abstract: Concrete pavements have been constructed in Denmark since 1925. The concrete in these old pavements has presented a good durability during 40 years. The problems have, however, been numerous in concrete pavements constructed from 1965 to 1970. They cover about 42 km of motorways and 142000 sq m in military airfields. The Danish Technological institute has carried out extensive investigations of these recently constructed pavements. Individual investigations of old concrete pavements have also been performed. The article presents briefly the causes of damage to the pavements. A new code of practice which will result in more durable concrete pavements is mentioned. Particular stress is laid on the new quality control system. (TRRL)
