1992 U.S. Study Tour of European Concrete Highways

FHWA-SA-93-012

To better prepare for the task of rebuilding our highways we came together to examine some of Europe's major freeways and to talk with the experts who design, construct and maintain them, seeking knowledge practices and experience that might us in the United States. Drawn from our Federal and State highway agencies, the American Association State Highway and Transportation Officials, the Transportation Research Board, the Strategic Highway Research Program, the Portland Cement Association, and the American Concrete Pavement Association and some of its contractor members, our Group of 21 highway and pavement experts observed highways and met with experts in France, Austria, Germany, the Netherlands, and Belgium. We also had presentations by experts from four other nations, Italy, Portugal, Spain, and Switzerland, concerning portland cement concrete pavements in their countries.
