This study provides an overview of modern trends in the development of cement concrete road pavements, including advanced materials, technological solutions, digitalization and aspects of sustainable construction. Key global practices for improving the durability, crack resistance and operational reliability of cement concrete pavements are summarized, taking into account climatic and operational conditions.
A comparative analysis is carried out with the current state of the road industry in Kazakhstan, where positive trends have emerged in the use of modifying additives, mechanized paving, the use of industrial waste and the development of digital control methods. The relevance of local scientific and practical research aimed at adapting best practices to the continental climate and the characteristics of the national infrastructure is noted.
Particular attention is paid to the use of additives as a key element in improving the performance characteristics of concrete and ensuring the stability of pavements. The findings form the basis for the further development of domestic technologies in the field of cement concrete roads.
