| Summary: | There are two technologies for road construction, e.g. an asphalt one and a concrete one, that exist in the market of road infrastructure at the moment and they both have their advantages and disadvantages [prof Jan Deja of Krakow Mining Academy, Cathedral of Building Materials Technology].The advantage of concrete pavement consists of the fact that it doesn’t require bigger financial expenditures within 10 – 20 years of exploitation (provided that necessary pavement maintenance treatments are carried out). In the case of asphalt pavement it is necessary to mill the wear off layer of the road already after 6-7 years. It leads to the question: which of these technologies should be chosen, which is better? The work hereby carries on analyses concerning a comparison of the technologies for road constructions; the asphalt one and the concrete one. Based on the analyses carried out with the use of the Hellwig method it was found that the achieved values of synthetic meters for asphalt and concrete pavements are close to each other, which may indicate that both technologies are comparable within the sectors taken for analyses in relation to accepted technological-technical and usability features. |
