The life of cement concrete road is much more than any other
type of construction.
The transverse and longitudinal joints are unavoidable in this
construction which provide additional planes of weaknesses.
A minimurn period of 28 days curing is required before the
cement concrete pavement could be opened to the traffic.
The cement concrete pavements are constructed r.vith or without
the sub-base course.
The various purpose of the sub base course beneath the cement
concrete pavements are.
(i) To provide a strong supporting layer
(ii) to providecapillary cutoff preventing the damage due to
a
mud pumping.
(iii) to reduce thickness requirements of cement concrete slab
and lower the cost of construction.
(iv) to increase the service life of the CC pavement.
,/ The construction of cement concrete pavements is dealt under
the following groups.
