Theory and practice of cement concrete pavements in Hungary

László Gáspár, Zsolt Bencze

Abstract

In the late 1990’s, various asphalt pavement alternatives did not present the level of deformation resistance that would be sufficient to prevent early rutting on the extremely heavily trafficked motorways in Hungary. This resulted in the reinstatement of concrete pavements, which became once again a technological choice in motorway construction. This paper presents the history of Hungarian concrete pavements, steps for their "revival", technological challenges in the preparation of test sections, and an ongoing research aimed at ensuring long-term preservation of favourable surface properties.

Keywords
