Concrete pavements are commonly utilized in roads, airports, and bridge decks to handle huge loads and provide long-term solutions. BS EN 13877-2 is a European Standard that discusses functional requirements for concrete pavements.
BS EN 13877-2 is the second part of the multi-series that specifies requirements for concrete pavements cast in situ and compacted by vibration. BS EN 13877-2 also covers concrete sub-bases as well as concrete wearing courses on bridges.
BS EN 13877-2 on functional requirements for concrete pavements is useful for:
Economic analysis and environmental evaluation must be integrated in order to design eco-efficient concrete pavement and repair solutions.
BS EN 13877-2 covers concrete pavements for motorways, airfields, pedestrian streets, cycle tracks, storage areas, and, in general, all traffic-bearing structures.
BS EN 13877-2 provides you with details such as strength, density, and thickness of concrete pavements, as well as the types of quality controls for concrete pavements, the wear resistance of concrete pavements to studded tyres, and the concrete pavement properties that assure compliance with design criteria.
BS EN 13877-2 guidelines help you plan and lay out concrete paving that complies with requirements so that users have uninterrupted access to high-quality pavements.
