Concrete pavement which is occasionally called rigid pavement is a concrete layer that is in contact with traffics directly and it is used for different purposes and applications. The concrete used for pavements can be modified and changed in various ways as per the requirement.
Jointed plain concrete pavements (JPCP) contain enough joints to control the location of all the expected natural cracks. All necessary cracking occurs at joints and not elsewhere in the slabs. JPCP does not contain any steel reinforcement except corner bars.
In fact, the lifespan of concrete pavement is 20-40 years on average.

Concrete slump 150 is very wrong, which should be low slump concrete.

Thank you for your comment. This is the different between Engineering theory and practical Engineering. If Use the Concrete site hand mixer , we can go up to 50mm slump. But Ready mix plant never provide the concrete in lower slump. This is the real practical situation. If you want, I able to share the Mix design report. Anyway for ready mix concrete 125mm slump is good. Our case is very low camber, difficult access place, face some problem in slump 125mm etc. Thank you.
