Design and construction of concrete pavements for low volume roads

Design and construction of low volume roads is often considered a minor issue even though the majority of the road network usually falls under this category (as in the Italian road network where 80% of the roads are “low volume” roads). On the other hand the very limited amount of resources devoted to these pavements both for maintenance and for monitoring is leading to very poor performances which contribute to the very high number of accidents which can be observed in urban areas.
