Road slab can obtain the essential parameters automatically by entering the This software, the user who wants to design the concrete pavement as concrete
On AASHTO 1993, PCA 1984 design methods and Westergaard formulas. In this study, a user-friendly software has been developed based TheĬalculation of this maximum deflections and maximum strains can be done via theįinite element method or the closed formulas which have been developed by In both design methods, it’s significant to know the maximumĭeflections and maximum strains the vehicles’ loads cause on the pavement. The most important ones of these methods are AASHTO (1993)Īnd PCA (1984). Methods developed based on both experimental and mechanic foundations forĬoncrete pavements. Kind of pavements, traffic conditions should be defined properly and consideredĪn addition to the concrete and platform properties. The design of these concrete road slabs is quite different from the traditionalĬoncrete and reinforced concrete structures’ design. Maintenance and repair and the high performance they show under heavy axle Airfield and Highway Pavements 488-499, 2015.Ĭoncrete pavements as concrete road slab, appear as a strong alternativeįor flexible superstructures especially because of their low cost for G., Investigation of ESALs versus Load Spectra for Rigid Pavement Design.
