Comparison of Two Rigid Pavement Design Methods
Publication: Journal of Transportation Engineering
Volume 111, Issue 6
Abstract
A comparison of the design thickness of rigid pavement slabs as determined by the AASHTO and PCA methods is presented. The comparison is given for a wide range of truck volumes and axle weights to represent the loadings that are likely to occur on facilities ranging from residential streets to major freeways. The effect of foundation strength on slab thickness is also examined for each design method.
