Abstract
With the advent of the continuously reinforced concrete pavement, without joints, the highway engineer has been forced to discard existing design theories and rely largely on experimentation and judgment to attempt to design this new type of pavement properly. This paper is aimed at presenting a rational and uncomplicated approach to the approximate design of continuously reinforced concrete pavement, considering all of the factors and variables that can be evaluated by means of the engineering tools available. The two major factors to be considered, internal forces developed from restrained pavement volume changes and external forces developed from the traffic loads, are examined, and methods are given whereby each can be evaluated in arriving at an economically safe design.
