Abstract
Within the scope of this project, test specimens will be taken from various sections of concrete tracks in Austria and Germany. Afterwards they are subjected to laboratory tests in both countries in order to be able to compare the experimental tests, the test results and the results of the determination of the remaining time of the service life of the test sections.
In addition, the test results will be used to develop a calculation model for concrete pavement using the finite element method and used for future computational research and dimensioning studies.
The aim of this project is therefore to exchange experience and knowledge, to form the basis for a joint future research and development of the technologies used.
