Abstract:
1. A method for producing concrete slabs pavements for streets, roads, highways and express highways wherein a base is prepared and concrete is poured on site to form the slab, the method comprising the following stages: a) providing a model truck with a distance D 1 between front wheels, a distance D 2 between a set of rear wheels, and a length L between the front and the first rear axle of the set of wheels; b) setting the width of the slab so that the width is smaller than the smallest of D 1 and D 2 ; c) setting the length of the slab so that it is smaller than the length L; d) setting the thickness of the slab to a value E based on a value of strength of the concrete; e) preparing the base, and f) pouring concrete in situ to form at least one parallelepiped slab having a width and length of the slab, or to form a parallelepiped section and subsequently cutting the section to form a plurality of slabs, each slab having a width not larger than the smallest of D 1 and D 2 and a length not larger than L; wherein at all times only one wheel or one set of wheels will touch and be supported by the slab.
