Continuous Construction method: In this method of construction, all the bays or slabs (ABCD) of strip are constructed continuously without any break as shown in figure. In this method, construction joints are, however, provided when the day’s work is not ended at the specified joint. In addition to these, construction joints, dummy joints are also provided at 5 m. intervals in the transverse direction to check the planes of weakness and to control cracking. In this method, expansion joints are constructed at about 16 to 20 m. intervals i.e. after every fourth slab. This method is generally preferred as compared to alternate bay method because of its main advantage of construction of half the pavement width at a time. Thus, the essential traffic can be diverted on the other half of the road. This method is also very rapid.
