Pavement Design - Concrete Pavements

Various stresses in jointed plain concrete pavement with slab size of 3.5 m x 4.5 m are denoted as follows: Wheel load stress at interior = $S_{wl}^i$ Wheel load stress at edge = $S_{wl}^e$ Wheel load stress at corner =...

Tie bars of 12 mm diameter are to be provided in a concrete pavement slab. The working tensile stress of the tie bars is 230 MPa, the average bond strength between a tie bar and concrete is 2 MPa, and the joint gap betwe...
