Prerequisites for the application of dispersed reinforced concrete for road construction in European countries and USA.

The experience of using fiber for obtaining dispersed reinforced concrete is given. The application of dispersed reinforced concrete in the countries of Europe and the USA at the device of rigid type pavement is analyzed. The advantages of using fibroconcrete pavement in comparison with asphalt concrete coating are given. In comparison with coverings of other types road coverings from cement concrete are more durable; have a long service life; slight wear due to abrasion; high tensile strength as a result of bending; small value of elastic deformations under load from cars; light color; high, stable over time and little dependent on moisture, the adhesion coefficient to the tread of the car wheel.
