Road having their wearing surface consisting of cement concrete slab are called as cement concrete road. Cement concrete roads are considered as most serviceable and rigid pavements.

Concrete is a sustainable material for construction in comparison to the available alternatives of similar virtues. Although the embodied energy associated with concrete is already low, it can be further reduced through use of Supplementary Cementing Materials (SCMs) as well as substitutes for coarse and fine aggregate. As a responsible country, India is also putting in efforts in this direction. The construction industry is mandated to use mineral admixtures as cementitious component in concrete. Emphasis should be laid on using Recycled Aggregates derived from reprocessing materials previously used in construction.
