Abstract

The initial costs of constructing concrete pavement for road surfaces are higher — approximately 70–80% more compared to asphalt pavement. However, after just 8 years of operation, the total expenses for both types of pavement become comparable. Cement concrete road pavements are among the most effective solutions for ensuring high load-bearing capacity, durability, and operational reliability of highways. The relevance of enhancing these characteristics is driven by the increasing traffic intensity, greater dynamic impacts, and rising axle loads from heavy-duty vehicles. A methodology research of materials which are used in highway building. Experience of application is presented hard highway coverage in the developed countries of Europe and USA. Expedience of fiberconcrete application is analysed in highway building at arranging of cement-concrete coverage and bases trouble-free reіnforcement. The combined use of steel and polymer fiber is a promising direction in construction, enabling the creation of durable, strong, and wear-resistant structures. Research in this field will help optimize the composition of fiber-reinforced concrete for various operating conditions. Fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) demonstrates improved resistance to aggressive environmental impacts, such as chemical exposure, freeze-thaw cycles, and mechanical abrasion. However, prolonged contact with fuels, oils, de-icing salts, or acidic substances can still degrade the matrix and reduce the bonding efficiency between the fibers and the cement paste, especially if not properly protected or formulated.
