Abstract

Introduction. The introduction to the paper emphasizes the performance of pavements for the traffic areas of channelized/maneuvering traffic zones and heavy vehicles parking lots and highlights the advantages of concrete pavements for the said objects. Problem statement. The issues of the paper concern the design of various types of concrete pavements for the traffic areas of channelized/maneuvering traffic zones and heavy vehicles parking lots. Purpose. The goal of the paper is to compare the main provisions of the designated concrete pavements design in terms of various types of the monolithic pavement concrete slabs, and usage of types of concrete which differ in their laydown methods, and also regarding various principles of joints construction with an accent made on the contraction joints. Results. The main principles of the said concrete pavements designing were reviewed through separation the input design data such as the geotechnical information, the parameters of loading, the pavement service life and the characteristics of the material. The pavement design regarding the requirements for the subgrade/subbase parameters was analyzed more detailed concerning the appointment of the pavement layers thicknesses to reach the required bearing capacity in terms of a modulus of subgrade reaction.
