Construction of Cement Concrete Road

In this Civil engineering project, we will look on the topic "construction of cement concrete road". India has a roads network of over 4,689,842 kilometers (2,914,133 mi) in 2013, which is the 2nd largest road network in the world. This project will tell you about cement concrete pavement, roads development in India, classification of roads, material & methods used in the construction of roads, etc. You can also subscribe to FINAL YEAR PROJECT'S by Email for more such projects and seminar. Roads are very vital for the transportation system and should be constructed with proper planning and material.

Usual criterion for the strength of concrete in the road construction is the compressive strength, which is considered as a measure of quality concrete. However, in pavement constructions, such as highway and airport runway, the flexural strength of concrete is considered more important, as the stresses induced in concrete pavements are mainly flexural. Therefore, flexural strength is more often specified than compressive strength in the design of concrete mixes for pavement construction. It is not perfectly reliable to predict flexural strength from compressive strength.
