Analysis and design of concrete pavements
Lecture : Pavement Materials
 

CLOSING REMARKS

Certain standard methods are followed for road design and construction. They are modified from time-to-time to match with the technological advancements. The discussion also hinted that certain modifications in the mix design or structural design can give rise to substantial economy in terms of the longevity of the pavement or the cost of the material concerned. In future a unified protocol needs to be evolved which would consider mix-design and pavement-design together so as to ensure economical design and better field performance.
