A cc slab of thickness 20 cm is constructed over a base of granular material with a modulus of reaction 10 kg/cm3. The maximum temperature differential between the top and bottom of the slab is found to be 19 C during summer day and night. The spacing between transverse joints is 8 m and the spacing between longitudinal joints is 4 m. The design wheel load is 5100 kg, radius of contact area is 15 cm, Poisson s ratio is 0.15, modulus of elasticity is 3 105 kg/cm2, the thermal coefficient is 10 10-6 / C and the coefficient of friction is 1.5. Using the above information, find the worst combination of stresses at the edge of the pavement. |
