Abstract: The work concerns the use of similarity analysis of distance course. Composition of concrete mixes were designed. The cement concrete composition includes cement, coarse aggregate, fine aggregate, water and admixtures. The laboratory analyses included concretes curing in standard conditions and concretes subject to thermal cycles representing the destructive influence of imposed loading. Comparative SEM observations of concretes subject to thermal cycles was conducted. Similarity indexes between input and target sequence were defined. Diagrams presenting the similarity of the analysed concretes were prepared (after 28 days of curing and after thermal cycles). It was proved that the suggested method can be used to define the similarity of concrete intended for airfield pavements.
