This European Standard was approved by CEN on 25 September 2023.

CEN members are bound to comply with the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations which stipulate the conditions for giving this
European Standard the status of a national standard without any alteration. Up-to-date lists and bibliographical references
concerning such national standards may be obtained on application to the CEN-CENELEC Management Centre or to any CEN
member.
This European Standard exists in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other language made by
translation under the responsibility of a CEN member into its own language and notified to the CEN-CENELEC Management
Centre has the same status as the official versions.

European foreword
This document (EN 13877-2:2023) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 227 “Road
materials”, the secretariat of which is held by BSI.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an
identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by May 2024, and conflicting national standards shall be
withdrawn at the latest by May 2024.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. CEN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
This document supersedes EN 13877-2:2013.
— the normative references have been updated;
— alternative evaluation methods for the strength of concrete pavements have been added;
— default conditions have been specified for the determination of the strength classes;
— the tensile strength of concrete on cylindrical discs has been introduced;
— the table on tolerances of thickness has been replaced by a text with new specifications;
— the clauses on the density of concrete pavements have been deleted;
— the categories for freeze–thaw resistance have been deleted;
— the specifications for dowels and tie-bars have been updated;
— the Bibliography has been updated.
EN 13877, Concrete pavements, is currently composed with the following parts:
— Part 1: Materials
— Part 2: Functional requirements for concrete pavements
— Part 3: Specifications for dowels to be used in concrete pavements
This document refers to EN 206. In accordance with the scope of EN 206, some additional or different
requirements are necessary for pavements, particularly to comply with safety of users, durability,
environment and health.
Any feedback and questions on this document should be directed to the users’ national standards body.
A complete listing of these bodies can be found on the CEN website.
According to the CEN-CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organisations of the
following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia,
Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland,
Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Republic of North
Macedonia, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Türkiye and the United
Kingdom.
1 Scope
This document specifies requirements for concrete pavements cast in situ. Concrete compacted by rollers
is not covered by this document.
This document covers concrete pavements for roads and other traffic-bearing structures.

3.1 Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply.
ISO and IEC maintain terminological databases for use in standardization at the following addresses:

3.1.1
maturity concept
measure of strength gain of concrete as a function of the product of temperature and length of a specific
time interval
[SOURCE: EN 1992-1-1:2004, 3.1.2]
3.1.2
characteristic strength
value of strength above which 95 % of the population of all possible strength determinations of the
volume of concrete under consideration are expected to fall
3.1.3
functional requirements
properties of a concrete pavement that ensure compliance with the design requirements
3.1.4
jointed unreinforced concrete pavement
concrete pavement with transverse and longitudinal joints at intervals generally from 3,0 m to 7,5 m
Note 1 to entry: The slabs are not reinforced and the load transfer across transverse joints is provided either by
dowels (dowelled) or by aggregate interlock only (undowelled). The longitudinal joints can be provided with tie
bars.
3.1.5
jointed reinforced concrete pavement
concrete pavement with transverse joints at intervals generally from 8 m to 25 m
Note 1 to entry: The pavement slabs contain reinforcement in the longitudinal and/or transverse directions. The
longitudinal reinforcement does not cross the transverse joints, which are usually dowelled.
3.1.6
continuously reinforced concrete pavement
CRCP
concrete pavement with continuous longitudinal reinforcement in the upper half of the slab and no
transverse expansion or contraction joints
3.1.7
contraction joint
sawn, tooled or formed grooves in a concrete pavement to create a weakened cross section to control the
location of cracking resulting from the dimensional change of the structure
Note 1 to entry: The contraction joints can be transverse or longitudinal.
3.1.8
expansion joint
separation over the total cross section between pavement slabs filled with a compressible material
