Concrete is the most widely used building material today. Due to the increase in the utility value of buildings, more and more emphasis is placed on the durability of buildings, which especially applies to concrete products exposed to frost and chemical deicing agents. Cement concrete pavements have the ability to transmit the effects of traffic and withstand adverse weather conditions. Concrete pavements can withstand high traffic loads without permanent deformations and have a long service life. However, it must be said that in the case of damage to the CB pavements, repairs require longer closures due to more demanding production and laying technology. The expected lifespan of a concrete road type is at least 30 years with basic and minimal maintenance, while the life cycle of tarmac roads is much shorter.
Currently, great importance is placed on reducing emissions arising from industrial production, especially cement production, where it is stated that the production of 1 ton of cement produces approximately 0.6 tons of CO2. Reducing emissions is possible thanks to secondary raw materials that are produced in large volumes in the Czech Republic, for which a suitable use is being sought.
