EUPAVE Strategic Plan 2024-2030
EUPAVE is excited to present its Strategic Plan 2024-2030.This plan will guide our actions in the coming years to promote the use of cement and concrete in European transport infrastructure. The plan is built around four Strategic Focus areas:
-
Leaflet “Safe, robust and sustainable road restraint systems – the case for concrete safety barriers”
Introduction: The European Commission’s goal is to achieve zero road deaths by 2050, which is referred to as ‘Vision Zero’. Safe infrastructure is one of the pillars of this approach and road restraint systems play an important role in this, both in the central reservation and on the verge of the road.At the same time, […]

Compilation of fact sheets, “Sustainability and Resilience in the heart of concrete roads”
Everyone today is aware of the global challenges facing our society. The concept of “sustainable construction” has been at the heart of the construction world for many years, focusing on the three well-known pillars: economy, environment and society. With the issue of global warming, the debate is now more focused on reducing CO2 emissions with […]

Fact sheet “Sustainable Water Management”
The main topic of this sixth fact sheet is how concrete contributes to more ecological water management. Water is a scare resource that we must handle with care, in an integrated manner throughout the water chain. This is even truer now that climate change is leading to wetter winters, drier summers and more extreme weather […]

Publication – “Guide for Design of Concrete Overlays”
This publication provides an overview of the basic principles of concrete overlay design and construction on concrete and asphalt-surfaced pavements. It discusses the importance of many deisgn parameters, including overlay bond (or separation), joint layout and design, material selection, overlay thickness, and other details. This document also describes recommended practices for overlay construction and construction […]

Fact sheet “Long Service-Life”
The main topics of this fifth fact sheet are the long service life of concrete pavements, their low environmental impact and cost over the life-cycle and the limited maintenance they require, causing minimal disruption. “Roads are essential for the transportation of goods and people and thus play an important role in a country’s economic and […]

Annual Report 2021
The Annual Report provides an excellent overview of the work and objectives of EUPAVE in 2021. We are pleased that we can look back positively on this year and see that our work has been fruitful.
-
Fact sheet “Climate resilience”
The topic of the fourth fact sheet is “Climate resilience”. “One of the aspects of climate resilience is the capacity of a system to absorb stresses and maintain function in the fact of external stresses imposed unpon it by climate change. For roads and infrastructure, climate resilience efforts aim at addressing the vulnerability with regard to the environmental consequences of climate change.”

Position Paper – New opportunities for sustainable construction under NextGenerationEU
EUPAVE would like to ask national governments and EU institutions to consider the role that transport infrastructure, in particular roads, can play for a prompt recovery based on the European Green Deal and carbon neutrality by 2050. When designing national recovery and resilience plans and during the implementation of projects at a later stage, national governments […]

Fact sheet “100% recycling”
The topic of the third fact sheet is 100% recycling. “Concrete is made with local raw materials and is 100% recyclable. Concrete having reached the end of its life can be crushed to provide aggregates – sand and stones – for use in new concrete or in other cement-bound or unbound applications such as road bases. In […]
-
Fact sheet “Less Fuel Consumption”
The topic of the second fact sheet is “Less Fuel Consumption”. Fuel consumption is not only influenced by the vehicle (type of engine, aerodynamic profile, tyres,…) but also by the pavement it is driving on. The factors related to the surface of the pavement are the evenness, the surface texture and the deflection. While texture […]
-
Fact sheet “High Albedo”
Following the release of our infographic “Concrete Pavements make roads more sustainable”, EUPAVE’s working group on Environmental Strategy has decided to release fact sheets focusing on its different items. The first document looks deeper into the high albedo effect: “Albedo is the ability of a surfact to reflect light rays. In case of a light-coloured […]

Publication – Guide for design of “Jointed plain concrete pavements”
This publication provides a general overview of the basic principles of JPCPs, as well as an assessment of the influence of the aforementioned factors. In addition to many useful recommendations for the design and construction, this document does not fail to deal with different aspects such as thermal movements, different types of joints and reinforcements. Finally, this publication also contains a guide for the design of joint layouts according to the rules of art.
