Monitoring Concrete Road Pavement Damages

Abstract

The paper considers the main processes that affect the quality of concrete road surfaces. The quality of concrete pavement depends on the quality of the preparation of the base, the concrete components quality, and the quality of the coating technology. The processes of concrete components quality control, the process of its manufacture, as well as the control of road surfaces that have fully gained strength and are ready for use are studied. Examples of the defects formation on concrete surfaces are given. The factors influencing the occurrence of deformations in road surfaces are considered. In fact, concrete is a mixture of a binder, coarse and fine aggregate, various additives and water. The process of its production is a set of mandatory measures, without which it will not be possible to obtain high-quality durable material. The measures that exclude the defects formation on concrete road surfaces are proposed. The purpose of the paper is to analyze the processes of concrete road surfaces construction with the identification of the main measures to improve their quality
