Abstract: The publication presents the application of similarity analysis of distance courses This method has been applied to define similarity of cement concrete intended for airfield pavements. The scope of works included standard concretes intended for airfield pavements and concretes after frost resistance test. The test has been conducted in diversified media used in the course of winter maintenance. The nature of resistance of pavement quality concrete was discussed with respect to frost resistance thereof. Research procedure was presented and the obtained laboratory tests results were discussed. Concrete samples were subject to observations using scanning electron microscope in order to define changes occurring in the internal micro structure. Chemical micro analysis of concrete composition before, in the course of and after the frost resistance test and the occurring changes were specified. The obtained laboratory tests results were intended for the purposes of the similarity analysis. Results obtained in case of standard pavement quality concrete were considered as comparative values. Characteristics of the remaining concretes were referred to these values and then similarity of distance courses were analysed. It was proved that BWMt concrete was the most similar concrete to the comparative concrete.
