Concrete is inherently a very strong, rigid, and durable product.
The durability of concrete is one of the main reasons that specifiers choose concrete pavements for roads, streets, airports, parking lots, and highways.
This page offers concrete durability resources for engineers, specifiers, and contractors. In Michigan, freeze-thaw cycles and deicing chemicals make durability a key concern, and factors such as proper air entrainment, mix design, finishing, and curing all play a role. The attachments below include the MCA Concrete Durability Guide and an MDOT concrete special provision.
