The use of concrete road pavements in Greece is very limited while there are many benefits from their use, especially in road parts of high inclination and heavy track circulation. The development of low-cost concrete, tailor-made for pavements will contribute to this alternative road construction. The design and properties of this type of concrete, which could be applied by using conventional equipment, are presented in this paper. The technical characteristics of the concrete which includes local fly ash as hydraulic binder and steel slag as aggregate are well described, including long-term performance observation.
