FAILURES IN CEMENT CONCRETE PAVEMENT: A REVIEW

Abstract

It is important to construct the durable roads and there should not be necessity of maintenance after short span. The concrete roads have many advantages as compared to the flexible pavement. The durability, Strength and life are the main characteristics of good road. In the (CRCP) continuously reinforced concrete pavement, longitudinal steel bars are mostly installed. In this particular concrete slab, the function is to minimize the changes occurred in volume because of variations in the temperature. But there is certain failure criteria which are associated with the cement concrete roads and it is necessary to understand it. The present paper deals with the work carried out by the other researchers regarding failures of cement concrete pavement all across the world.
