ABSTRACT
the major developments that have occurred in the fields of cement-treated materials (gravascemento, sueloscemento, compacted concrete) and vibrated concrete pavements in recent years are discussed in this article. In particular, some innovations in the areas of soil cement in situ, gravascemento high performance and concretes lean compacted pre-cracking of cement-treated layers are described, recycled in situ with cement existing firm, porous concrete, compacted paver and armed pavement concrete continuous concrete vibrated.
