Abstract
The research project aims for establishing an innovative precast concrete pavement for maintaining roads, including the usage of novel materials. Hybrid, multifunctional pavements shall be developed by investigating suitable systems for both, transverse force transmission at joints and bedding for slabs. In order to counteract higher stresses, caused by increasing traffic numbers and changing climate in the future, the usage of novel concrete mixtures is planned for fabricating precast pavements.
